Reptile Encounters was started to encourage learning and interaction with Australian wildlife. Our shows are interactive and fun, but - most importantly - they are educational. Learn more about Australian wildlife ecology and the importance of preserving our environment at your next kids’ party, school incursion or event.
The presenters at Reptile Encounters are all passionate about wildlife and spend much of their time caring for animals. Many of our presenters dedicate their time to caring for animals that fall victim to road accidents or fire. To help with this valuable work Reptile Encounters supports wildlife shelters and encourages the wider community to help where they can.
It is this passion for wildlife that makes our presenters so great at engaging audiences and makes a Reptile Encounter a genuinely unforgettable experience.

It’s not every day you come across a python in your classroom, lounge room or office. And it’s unusual to find a crocodile at your shopping centre or school fête. But when you book in your very own Reptile Encounter, you can expect to meet these and many more fascinating creatures.
Specialising in school programs, birthday parties and special events, Reptile Encounters gives people from all walks of life the opportunity to get up close with our unique Australian Wildlife. All our animals have been reared in captivity and are extremely comfortable around people. Also, Reptile Encounters presenters are trained animal handlers, so you can expect a show that is fun, educational and safe!
At Reptile Encounters, we take great pride in treating our animals with care and respect.
