About
Australia's ultimate wildlife encounter
The Australian Reptile Park is a hands-on, interactive zoo, based in Somersby on the beautiful NSW Central Coast in Australia. Recently awarded ‘Australia’s Best Tourist Attraction’ at the 2023 Qantas Tourism Awards, we give our visitors the chance to interact with native animals and catch exciting wildlife shows!
Our rich and fascinating history began with the late and great Eric Worrell. What started with humble beginnings in 1958 has now grown into one of Australia’s premier tourist attractions.
As the only zoo in Australia committed to saving lives with a snake and spider venom milking programs, we’ve contributed to saving over 300 lives a year for the past 50 years. The venom that we produce is used to generate all land snake and funnel-web spider antivenom in Australia.

We’re proud to have won Gold for ‘Major Tourist Attraction’ at the 2023 Australian Tourism Awards. Since 1958, we’ve worked passionately to share Australia’s unique wildlife with the world, offering every visitor an unforgettable, hands-on experience.
