Why it's worth checking out
The Canberra Reptile Zoo sits at Nicholls, near Gungahlin in Canberra's north. A dedicated reptile and wildlife attraction, it's a fascinating family destination — home to an array of snakes, lizards, crocodiles, frogs and other reptiles, with the chance to get close to and learn about these often-misunderstood creatures.
The appeal is that combination of up-close reptile encounters, engaging keeper talks and a genuinely educational, hands-on experience, making it a great outing for families and the curious. For kids fascinated by snakes and lizards — and adults keen to learn — it's an engaging way to spend a few hours and overcome a few fears along the way.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's a much-loved attraction. Admission, opening hours, keeper talks and any animal encounters vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — and allowing time to take in the collection and the presentations, which bring the world of reptiles to life and are a particular hit with kids.
