Looking for a fun Easter experience right here on the Central Coast? The Australian Reptile Park is already lauded for being awarded the Best Major Tourist Attraction in Australia, but these holidays they’ve added even more fun for visitors!

Given the season they’re going all in on all things Easter these April school holidays. They’ve brought in an adorable cute and cuddly baby animal farmyard experience, show bags, fairy floss, popcorn, a real life egg-themed treasure hunt, face painting, Easter-themed activities and a Golden Egg hunt with a daily $500 prize!

You can even meet the “Easter Croc”! The Park’s crocodile mascot will be donning bunny ears, handing out chocolates and taking photos with visitors! Plus you can enjoy some old-fashioned fun: join in the egg-and-spoon race or get creative at the colouring-in station.

This is all included as a bonus and completely free with your entry ticket!

Yep, at the Reptile Park these holidays you can snuggle playful lambs, fluffy bunnies, chirping chicks, and the cutest calves, alpacas and piglets as well as come face-to-face with the Park’s wonderful regular residents. You’ll see echidnas, cassowaries, tawny frogmouths, chameleons, a pig-nosed turtle, tarantulas, death adders, Mexican fireleg tarantulas and so much more.

Plus, these holidays they’ve packed out the calendar to include Elvis the Crocodile feeds, Tasmanian Devil Talks, Komodo Dragon Walks, Koala Talks, Lorikeet Feeding, Reptile Shows and more. See the full schedule here. It’s these personal up-close encounters that make a day at the Australian Reptile Park so spesh.

We recommend you carve out a day to visit these holidays, and if you’re a local Coastie, make sure you check out their annual pass offerings too, so you can visit again and again. Their epic playground alone is worth the ticket!
