8.30am to 5pm every day except certain Public Holidays. Tickets are $41 per adult and this can be used for 3 consecutive days but you must get your ticket validated on the way out. You can also tap into a bus tour if you prefer as Hartleys has pickups available from most major hotels in Cairns, Palm Cove and Port Douglas depending on bookings. I hope this helps.
Hello. My daughter is 8, will be 9 on the 28th. She is desperate to hold a baby crocodile. I told her that I think it is allowed. Is she able to hold a crocodile here? Thank you
A:
yes you can hold a small Croc & have professional photos taken if you wish.
Hi, is there a bag check or place to keep a luggage item? I am trying to schedule a visit via the bus from Cairns airport. Thank you!
A:
Many thanks. Yes, we're happy to do this. We keep the bags generally in our office where they are right in front of us. I have some lock up storage area if you really need it.
