**** BACK in 2026 ****

Our amazing animal kingdom

This hands-on show will undoubtably captivate as you they learn about the weird and wonderful characteristics of Australian reptiles. Everyone will have the chance to interact with spiny-leaf stick insects, frogs, turtle, bob-tail lizard, monitor (goanna) lizard, dragon lizard, pythons, and even a crocodile. You won’t believe your eyes!

Does your youngster love all things that slither, crawl and slide? If the answer’s yes – look no further for a Summer Holiday activity, because Reptile Encounters specialises in fantastic, fun-filled, unforgettable experiences!

The stunning reptile shows have been a hit with parents in and around Melbourne for over a decade, and they just love to entertain and educate the kids (and adults too), while you sit back, relax and enjoy the show that totally safe for kids of all ages and the wildlife presenters are as smiley as they are knowledgeable.
