The West Australian Reptile Park

Hidden gem in the swan valley. Over 5 acres of large native vegetation and many species of reptiles including foxes and some native birds like the cockatoo. Its shaded so no need for sunscreen or hats but. Thoroughly recommended for tourists school excursions and families with children. Bring your own lunch as its a great place for a picnic.

Staff are very friendly and informative on the wildlife on show.
However thats where the fun stops.
As a previous review as stated the place is a run down dump in need of much financial investment.
The enclosure's are very basic, and pretty sad for the animals in them, however they were clean with water available.
There's not really a set path to walk around as it's not clearly labeled, and the dumped rubbish and "décor" make it hard to determine if you have visited a wildlife park or a scrap yard. Old get chassis and hot tubs sunk into the floor for some reason.

Much more could be said.
This place needs to close it's doors or find fresh investment and new management.

The snake & lizard experience was very cool but was really sad seeing the tiny enclosures with artificial grass for some of the snakes and the birds outside looked very distressed (the poor owls were flying into the cage mesh trying to get out). The lone eagle which has a 2.5m wing span was in a small enclosure. The crocodiles had tiny enclosures too.
The dingos were cute but they also had very limited space and very bare cage.
Just felt very sad in that place.
I’m surprised other animal conservation agencies haven’t done anything about it tbh.

We have brought the kids here many times. This place has a rustic Aussie feel rather than a clinical reptile centre and has been great to bring our son and his friends to see the reptiles and explore outside. The reptile handler is a big reason why we have come back, because he is so good at presenting the snakes and bobtails and is so informative. We have had a good experience every time.

Had an excellent time visiting this park.
Went with the family and got to hold to hold a snake and bobtail.
The staff were very friendly and approachable. They had interesting items such as snake skins to show and feel as well.

Note - they have more crocodiles than Perth Zoo and there's a wonderful bush trail to see the wildflowers. The sign is not very very well marked but the trail is defintiely worth it.

The family loved it, I loved it and we will come back again.

Recommend taking your own lunch or making plans for lunch elsewhere in the swan valley as they have limited food options. They have a very nice place to sit down and have lunch though which is what we did.

What a sad place this was to visit: (I’m shocked this place is still legally open. I have made numerous formal complaints after my visit to try and be a voice for the poor state these living things are being kept in. The reptiles had no water or food, their water bowls were bone dry! Their enclosures had nothing but newspapers and some old wood (if that) where is the greenery? The birds were all very sad, the ones at the front were lucky to have a bit of seed and water, no toys or even branches to sit on. Some of the bits outside were clearly distressed and flying back and forth, they had no greenery or fresh water. The wombat enclosure had a sign that looked 10 years old saying under construction, why was the wombat left in there? Again no greenery or fresh water. The place is so run down with piles of old rubbish just laying around the grounds, my children we’re constantly asking where to walk because the animal enclosures are weaved in with unkept gardens and half fenced off areas with piles of old metal/cars/rubbish. The animals all looked so sad and depressed. This place isn’t spending money on caring for the creatures they choose to enclose and make money from. So sad DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Impulsively decided to visit the reptile farm with my family on the way back to Subiaco at around 4pm and had the most lovely time! Gane brought us around the park and introduced us to the snakes and went into detail about all the snakes and his experiences with them. It was a rather intimate experience with the lack of crowd as it was close to the closing time, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you Gain and Jane for the lovely accommodation, we will definitely be back to visit when we return to Perth!

Great guides and interactions with the reptiles for the price. My 7 year old was very happy with the lizard cuddling
I felt sorry for some of the outdoor animals with lack of space.
Great value for a couple of hours family outing?

The enclosures are way to small to keep an animal. The poor things would die of depression. UNFAIR FOR THE ANIMALS.

The kids and adults all had a great experience learning all about the reptiles and birds here. The keeper very patiently explained interesting facts on the blue tongues and let's the kids hold them. We were hearing about Nugget and his mates for weeks!

Amazing day, so interactive, cash accepted, which is great! Gregor was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, made our day a unique experience we will never forget. Thank you!

Lovely staff, however, the outside enclosures are small, pitiful and depressing. The beautiful creatures housed in them have zero stimulation too, such a sad existence for them. In all honesty, its quite heartbreaking to see. Please improve your facilities.

We went there with our 8 year old who loves reptiles. Gregor showed us some amazing pythons and let us hold and interact with them. Then we also were able to meet some bobtail lizards. It was a great little place to visit and would definitely recommend. Thanks again!

Was great to see all the reptiles up close.loved being able to hold the snakes, so did my 4 and 17 year olds. Took a BBQ lunch and enjoyed a picnic in the garden area. Will come back again.

This place is amazing. I recommend this to every one that wants to go. It is cheap and the staff are all so friendly. They do so many hands on stuff it is so good.

We go at least once a year as a family, but anytime any of our family comes from out of state/country we always make the trip. The interactive experience and knowledge gained is fantastic.

This place is the best reptile park in Perth! We went with the kids and It was so fun! So interactive and educational!
The man who let us touch and hold the reptiles was honestly amazing! You can tell he loves his job!
Thank you so much and will definitely be back! $40 for a family of 4 is a bargain!

Amazing i love it! I couldn't believe how many snakes they had. An amazing experience definitely worth visiting. The guy who does the holding shows with the snakes & lizards is brilliant so insightful and has lots of knowledge behind him. Great way to learn about local snakes and lizards and also afew extra bonus animals.

First time visiting and had a great time. Our son got to hold the snakes and he loved every minute. The guy explaining about the snakes was great. Really enjoyed.

The kids had such an amazing time today. Thank you Gregor for showing them the bobtails and snakes and of course for your patience of their multiple requests!
