Canberra Reptile Zoo

With over 50 different species of reptiles and frogs on display, the Canberra Reptile Zoo is large enough to be impressive but still small enough to have a very strong hands on approach.

When we went to the Canberra Reptile Zoo we were surprised by how close to the animals we could get and how many were available to pat. We managed to pat an alligator, gorgeous turtles and of course …. a snake!

The courtyard area was fantastic in the sunshine – there was a play area with slides and a sandpit where kids could dig for fossils. Cafe Injoy is just outside the zoo and also has a play area – a good spot for coffee and something to eat before/after heading into the zoo.
