Advice for visitors
The crocodile farm is an ideal family destination. The farm offers children, kids parties, a fun ride on the Crocmobile, and informative, interactive tours. For the adults, the farm is the perfect function venue or getaway with adventurous friends.
You could turn it into a weekend of wining, dining and picnics on the lawn, with a daring twist should you opt to stay over, .
If you are a bit nervous about the crocs, try not to let that stop you from holding one of the youngsters on the croc pond tour. In summer, make a point of doing the croc tour around 12:00 or 15:00 to witness the frenzy around feeding time.
