Alice Springs Reptile Centre

The Alice Springs Reptile Centre houses the largest reptile display in Central Australia.

Come and visit the extensive range of reptiles, including the huge perentie goannas, frill-neck lizards, thorny devils and many other fascinating reptiles. Also on display at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre are large and small pythons and some of the world's most venomous snakes such as inland taipans, brown snakes, death adders and mulga (king brown) snakes.

Don't miss the saltwater crocodile exhibit featuring underwater viewing. Watch the lizards feed or play with a python. The Gecko Cave houses a large selection of Northern Territory geckos which by nature are secretive and rarely seen in the wild.

The Alice Springs Reptile Centre is open from 9.30am to 5pm daily, closed on Christmas Day and New Years Day. If you are visiting during the cooler months of May to August, the recommended viewing times are between 11am and 3pm when the reptiles are most active. Talks are conducted daily at 11am, 1pm and 3.30pm.
