Whist this attraction lacks in size it makes up in content! a wonderful collection of repltiles presented in a great fashion. the animals appear as happy as the staff, who are passionate and well informed. the interaction presentation is a must and be warned you may get one plonked on your head! the thorny devils are just gorgeous and you... more

If you wish you had a python crawling on your shoulders, this is the right place to go. The centre is not too big but they let you pat different reptiles: a way to get to know them. Great for kids more

I would definitely recommend a trip to the reptile centre, for me it's what the Centre is all about - it belongs to reptiles. The reptile centre holds a bewildering array of creatures, well looked after, and well curated. Make sure you get there for the handling and talk sessions, the staff are knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about their wriggly... more

This stop was definitely for the "boys" on the trip. The Reptile Center is very well run by very knowledgable and friendly staff. We happened to stop in just before a live hands on demonstration began. The gal (forgot her name, worried about all the snakes around me) who showed the reptiles was great! She made an uncomfortable situation for... more

Small but well stocked reptile centre that sits a short distance from the centre of town. Live shows are a definite must, and the safe, friendly atmosphere can make the most apprehensive visitor coo over a water python. more

I went here recently with friends who were visiting Alice. The reptile centre is open from 9 - 5, but the best time to visit is when one of the 3 x daily shows are on. On arrival we went into the fossil room which is an excellent display of fossils and replicas from central australia and further afield. Also... more

The reptile centre is much smaller than the neary desert park. You shouldn't need more than an hour to see it (and probably less). The variety of reptiles in Australia is astounding, and the centre gives you a chance to see many up close, including a crocodile who sometimes rests right next to a glass viewing chamber and many snakes. more

A great little reptile exhibit. Lots of varieties of snakes and lizards. A great show with some participation for people, especially kids. The place is run by a really enthusiastic woman, clearly passionate about her charges. Everything is clean and well kept. Well worth the visit. more
