Popular attractions return to the Australian Reptile Park during School Holidays

The Australian Reptile Park has brought back its popular Jurassic Zoo school holiday attraction along with their Alligator Feeding encounters. 

The Jurassic Zoo attraction offers ‘dinosaurs’ roaming the park, fossil digs, and dance parties. A Tyrannosaurs Rex, Indoraptor and a Pachycephalosaurus will take daily walks for children and adults to interact with. Visitors will enter the park through the infamous Jurassic Park gates with a twist and will immerse themselves into a land before time. The Dino Dig returns to the park to give visitors and young paleontologists the chance to unearth ancient fossils and Zookeepers will be roving the park with all sorts of reptiles to meet up close.

The Australian Reptile Park advise that additional entertainment during the Jurassic Zoo event series, will be daily show featuring the park’s resident crocodilians - the closest living relative and ancient cousins of the dinosaurs. Australian Reptile Park icon Elvis, a five metre Saltwater Crocodile renowned to be "the crankiest croc in Australia", will be fed daily during a "thrill seeking show demonstrating the strength of his snapping jaws, capable of crushing the skull of prey as large as a water buffalo."

The Australian Reptile Park is also bringing back the popular Alligator Feeding encounters, launched in December 2020, where visitors have the opportunity to feed the giant Alligators themselves. The park’s lagoon - home to 50 American Alligators – will offer daily feeding shows consisting of park keepers entering the danger zone of the lagoon, and dangling their food over a walking plank, while tempting the giant reptiles to launch high out of the water.

Roving keepers at Australian Reptile Park will also be wandering around with a variety of reptiles and mammals for guests to meet and greet. To really get up close and personal with The Australian Reptile Park residents, guests can book either a Behind-The-Scenes tour or one of the popular and interactive Kids 2 Keepers programs.
