    This was amazing. Deffinatley one of the best experiences for the kids. Everyone was excited to learn and Sebastian was informative and exciting, which engaged the kids. The kids loved being able to touch, feel and hold all the Reptiles. Thank you reptile encounters for making it a easy and fun day to have.

    Yesterday we celebrated my daughters 10th birthday & had Beth & the reptiles come to our home. The booking experience was so easy & the communication was perfect. I’d like to thank Beth as she was so informative, calm and amazing with all the kids. She kept all the kids engaged, even the parents. Thank - you for making this experience so memorable. I had multiple parents and kids begging me for her number. I’ve passed on your information to our friends & family. Beth, you may be personally requested by them as they all spoke so highly of you 😊. Thank you again! Kind regards, Jess

    Josh & Reptile Encounters attended our wedding with some gorgeous critters that not only helped ease my nerves on the morning of, but also provided morning-after entertainment for all our guests! My (now) Husband and I hung out with Penny the ringtail, and Neville the croc whilst our guests were arriving. Michael wanted Neville to be the ring bearer... but settled for a groomsman. We got some once in a lifetime photo opportunities! The next day during brunch, Josh mingled and introduced our guests to a variety of awesome reptilian creatures, casually educating everyone whilst creating a fun atmosphere! His presence was such a special addition to our day and we can't thank him enough!

    A must-visit place if you are travelling with young kids who are interested/passionate about reptiles and animals. We signed up for the HQ Tour and it was perfect for our kid. It was private and intimate. You get to see the animals up close, and even hold some of them.

    Recently I attended a party attended by these people that had been booked by my sister. The presenter was late and blamed the traffic, which may have been possible, but then rushed through things and couldn't wait to take the cash and leave. Most of the kids barely touched any animals and only the birthday child was allowed to hold anything. Apparently this is standard, as I asked about this at the end. I have seen other reptile displays by other companies that are better in almost all ways. Reading the high number of five star reviews here, I cannot help but wonder how many of them are fake.

    Reptile Encounters is AMAZING! We had our daughter's 8th birthday on site at Reptile Encounters HQ. It was fantastic. Our host, Beth, was knowledgeable and extremely patient with the excited kids. She showed us a wide variety of animals and made sure she checked with us and the birthday girl what animals we wanted to see. The parents also had a great time! The hands-on experience was truly great. My 4 year old wants her next party at Reptile Encounters too!

    It was great. Tia the presenter spoke clearly and my child was able to hear everything she said. She was very knowledgeable on her subject and explained everything very clearly and it was overall a great presentation. Well done

    We had Josh from Reptile Encounters come out for our son’s 1st birthday party. Josh was fantastic with all the kids and brought along the perfect reptiles for the day. He got all the kids involved and made them feel so comfortable with handling all the animals. The parents even got involved and loved it. Thanks for such a great show!!!

    We had so much fun at Reptile encounters. Ben, our host, was absolutely amazing with kids and he kept everyone so engaged. The animals he showcased were so, for the lack of a better word, "cool"!!! On the day we went there was a face painting area and even after the show the staff, such as the Josh and Cat, moved around holding other creatures such as pythons or the frilled dragon for people to hold/feel and learn some more about. Don't forget to check out the small bird area and the "barking owl". Will definitely be visiting again.

    We booked Reptile Encounters for my 30th birthday and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic! Cannot thank Albert and the team enough. Everyone who was there had such a wonderful time and Albert was so patient and knowledgeable. Thanks so much! I would recommend these guys to anyone!

  • 5/5 Kristina K. 7 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    The HQ tour was an absolutely worthwhile experience, I took a client with a disability and they were completely understanding, patient and knowledgeable. Their wildlife were beautiful and well cared for, and we (both) had lots of fun holding and meeting the animals.

  • 5/5 Emma R. 11 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    I recently booked Reptile Encounters for my daughter's birthday party, and it was an incredible experience! Albert, the presenter, was amazing, and the range of reptiles he brought along were just stunning. He presented a range of amazing reptiles (my favourite being the 12kg olive python) and each was so special and had their own corresponding First Nation Dreamtime story. Connection to our shared history, to beautiful animals and to beautiful company (Albert, we love you). Thank you so much Reptile Encounters! I’m going to order you again for my own birthday!!!!!!

    We had Reptile Encounters come to our house for our boys Birthday Party, it was amazing, interesting and the kids absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for making their birthday the most memorable ever. Alyssa was the best host, so sweet and knowledgeable.

    We booked the reptile party for our daughters 6th birthday and it was amazing! They are so professional and informative while making it super fun and entertaining for the kids! My daughters favourite was the giant python 🐍 It’s worth every cent (even the lizard and crocodile pee on my floor lol) and I would highly recommend to anyone that loves animals.

  • 5/5 cheryl s. 2 years ago on Google
    What a great incursion! All kids really enjoyed the experience-presenters were really engaging with interesting facts and gave kids the opportunity to handle the animals, ask questions and come away with a really positive experience. Would thoroughly recommend!

  • 5/5 Sarah N. 2 years ago on Google
    Reptile Encounters always exceeds our expectations. We have had Reptile Encounters come to our school for an incursion for 4 years in a row and each show just keeps getting better and better. The instructors are very knowledgeable, engaging and the students always feel very safe and happy to touch, hold and be around all the reptiles. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Laritza L. 2 years ago on Google
    We have Reptile Encounters for my daughter's birthday party and everyone love the show. All the animals were very healthy and beautiful to see. The kids were so amazed by the snakes they couldn't stop talking about it. Thanks so much Reptile Encounters for the amazing adventure .

  • 5/5 AB 2 years ago on Google
    Dan put on an incredible show for our 5 year old birthday boy. The passion & knowledge he showed was so engaging. What an awesome experience to have all these fantastic creatures in our own yard! So glad to give the kids such an important education in our fauna. Thanks Reptile Encounters!

  • 5/5 mark w. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a private tour of reptile encounters and it was fantastic. The kids absolutely loved it. There was a lot of interaction with the animals with the kids getting to hold a number of animals at the end of the tour. Our host ‘Beth’ was great, she was very friendly and enthusiastic. Highly recommend. Mark

  • 5/5 Steph Q. 2 years ago on Google
    This was the most incredible entertainment for our sons 5th birthday. The show was educational, fun and very interactive. Not only were the kids highly engaged but the adults absolutely loved the show and got involved too. We even had children who happened to be at the park come over and want to get involved. Josh was fantastic with the kids and I highly recommend Reptile Encounters.

  • 5/5 Belinda P. 2 years ago on Google
    We were so excited to have Reptile Encounters come and entertain the kids for my sons 7th birthday party and they didn't disappoint! Josh was amazing with the kids (little and big) and kept them engaged and on the edge of their seats the whole time. It was also really great the way he was able to tell them interesting facts about the animals, which I hear they all then went home and told their parents about. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Josh and the team at Reptile Encounters for your next party or event.

  • 5/5 Andrew K. 2 years ago on Google
    Reptile Encounters provided an incredibly fun and informative experience for everyone at my sons 6th birthday. Beth was incredibly patient and engaging with all the kids and made it such a fun day for everyone. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 2 years ago on Google
    My year old son and his class loved Josh from Reptile Encounters. It was the highlight of the birthday party. The show was enjoyable for the children and their parents and we all loved seeing the reptiles, insects, lizards and a very small 1 metre long crocodile. I could not recommend this enough. From booking to arriving at the party Josh was professional. The kids loved him and raved about the show for hours after he left. Thank you Josh and Reptile Encounters

  • 5/5 Cher D. 2 years ago on Google
    Thank you to Reptile Encounters for making my boy's birthday super special. Everything was easy, from the booking, the payment, communicating via email, up to working with Evie on the day. Evie was fantastic with the kids, had them engaged all the time and was so patient to answer all the questions. We have awesome photos that will form part of our 2021 memories. Thank you Josh and team. You guys are awesome! 5 stars, well deserved!

  • 5/5 Lucinda H. 1 year ago on Google
    I couldn't more highly recommend Reptile Encounters. The booking process was super easy, and I had great customer service. On the day of my son's party, we had Bryce - who was a super star. He came in and just comfortably set up - and somehow, managed to get 30 excited 5/6 yrs olds to sit down and get ready for the show. The show was fantastic - the kids adored the reptiles and learnt so much. It was a great experience and so fun for a birthday party.

  • 5/5 Kiron B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a fantastic time with Reptile Encounters for my son's 5th Birthday! Beth was amazing and the kids loved seeing and holding/patting the animals. We would highly recommend Reptile Encounters and look forward to using them again in the future. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Michelle W. 10 months ago on Google
    We recently had reptile encounter host a birthday party and they were amazing. The kids loved seeing and hearing all about each reptile. A big thanks to Sam for hosting our event, kids and parents can’t stop talking about ‘tiny’!

  • 5/5 Louise Q. 4 months ago on Google
    Today we celebrated my son’s 4th birthday with a wildlife party at home. Jaz was amazing, everyone including the adults loved the show and being able to get up close. The kids couldn’t stop talking about it. Thanks so much for a wonderful fun and educational experience.

  • 5/5 Victoria 5 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend Reptile Encounters. It's a very educational, hands-on, highly engaging experience. Getting to hold a few reptiles at the end as well really put the icing on the cake. I had researched a few other reptile experiences prior to booking but this far exceeded others based on the hands-on approach and our experience on the day. Rosie was a great tour guide - very patient and went the extra mile to make our experience a great one.

  • 5/5 Chloe M. 5 months ago on Google
    We had Nick come out from reptile encounters for my daughters 1st birthday. Nick was amazing and insightful, he engaged with guest’s and included the children as much he could. I highly recommend them! The variety of animals was amazing and Nick made the show relaxing and fun. The children and adults loved it.

  • 5/5 Jaclyn B. 6 months ago on Google
    Five stars to Reptile Encounters who recently entertained a bunch of curious kids at our childcare centre community day. The staff were terrific to deal with and the assortment of wild and wonderful animals the children were able to meet on the day was amazing. I’d definitely book them again.

  • 5/5 Laura F. 6 months ago on Google
    Albert and his animal/reptile friends attended my sons 5th birthday at our home. Really interactive and fun, informative, and I've had lots of positive feedback from parents. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Trudy B. 6 months ago on Google
    An absolutely awesome Birthday party! We had Albert bring a bunch of gorgeous reptiles to our daughters 9th Birthday party, with some 15 chatty Year 3 girls, and he handled it like a champ! Super professional, super interesting and the Birthday girl loved it.

  • 5/5 Aaron M. 7 months ago on Google
    Reptile Encounters has to be one of the most memorable and amazing experiences we have had yet as a family. We booked this place as my 6 year old son loves reptiles, we not so much, but this place makes you fall in love with these beautiful creatures. Thanks to our super friendly host Jarryd for being so patient and informative to the kids. Getting up close and personal with some of the reptiles especially Jake the carpet python was surely the highlight. A must visit place in Melbourne!!!

  • 5/5 Kara M. 7 months ago on Google
    Reptile Encounters brought their Animal Adaptations incursion to our school. It was a fabulous incursion for our year 1s, with great links to curriculum. The students were engaged for the full hour and couldn’t stop talking about it afterwards. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Michaela B. 11 months ago on Google
    My son and his friends had the best time. All the parents were commenting that it was going to be hard to beat as far as birthday parties go. Thanks to Sam for keeping the kids entertained and showing them all the creatures. A truly memorable and special experience.

  • 5/5 Lucy V. 9 months ago on Google
    We went to one of the Open Days on a school holiday weekend. This was a great experience! My kids loved it. The person running it (a young guy called Ben) was amazing with the kids. Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Jeremy N. 1 year ago on Google
    It was brilliant. Even better than we could have hoped. Sebastian was excellent and patient with all participants (large and small), and everyone got to touch and hold every animal they wanted (except the crocodile). He arrived at the party on time, and the setup was fast. I can't recommend the experience highly enough. Thank you! We had one thrilled birthday girl.

  • 5/5 Sarah B. 9 months ago on Google
    Had these guys come for my sons 5th birthday snake party and they were awesome. The host was obviously really passionate and knowledgeable about animals and kept kids and adults all enthralled. Would definitely recommend!

  • 1/5 Hunny F. 9 months ago on Google
    I am copying this review because exactly same happened today with our son as well at local shopping centre. So nothing has changed even after this review. People should stop supporting these kind of businesses. I’m also disappointed about the event they did at a local shopping Centre during this week. The lady asked volunteers to raise their hands who are interesting to hold the reptiles, but she only let about 24 kids to hold different animals during one session but didn’t care about what other little ones feel, who had an interest to hold or touch the animal but did not get any chance. They were keep raising their hands including my child with high hopes that the lady will pick them to touch the animal but didn’t have any luck. My child went to the next session too, expecting he will get a chance, but he didn’t and came home with tears. Other than enjoying the show he was waiting and waiting hopelessly until his turn come. He was crying and it had no impact on the lady who was picking kids by her own choice. If they don’t want kids to touch their animal, they should not let anyone to touch them but why only for half of the children? When, I mentioned about it at the end of session the lady just said sorry and gave me a brochure and said I can come and visit them at Burwood or do a birthday party event. Will it rectify my child’s broken heart? For them it’s all about marketing. Yes, I can take my child to their place (but I never want to go to a place who does not feel a child) but I cannot undo the unpleasant incident happened to him. They should organise these events in a way that every child can have an opportunity other than pleasing half of the children and breaking other half’s little hearts.

    We were lucky enough to meet Ben and all of his amazing animals at a pop up show in Bayswater today. The presentation was fantastic, perfect amount of fun and information. We loved it thank you.

  • 5/5 Vanessa P. 1 year ago on Google
    Mr 5 came to reptile encounters to be a ‘ranger for a day’, a school holiday program adventure. This epic day was basically the highlight of his life so far. Sam hosted us and she had a great animal knowledge as well as a lovely nature with the kids, at the same time being able to manage a small group of very excited prep kids. The animal show was the right amount of facts and hands on experience and captured the kids attention for ages. They cleaned enclosures (a token activity of replacing their water but helped them feel involved) and fed animals. The highlight was holding snappy the croc - and seeing big Charlie the 3.2m freshwater croc. At the end the goodie bag with badges, patches, a tshirt and the icing on the cake which was a USB of professional photos of the kids involved in the wildlife show. Super memorable, highly recommend!!

    Great team and very passionate about their job at reptile encounters. My son had an amazing experience he wants to go back every weekend 😂

  • 5/5 Madeleine S. 11 months ago on Google
    Reptile encounters came out to where i work, and they provided an excellent experience for both our customers and team members. Nic who was our presenter for the day, was very friendly and professional and brought with him a great variety of different animals that customers and team were able to touch and hold while providing information and answering all types of questions about the different animals. Easy set up and pack up too.

  • 5/5 gemma k. 10 months ago on Google
    Cannot recommend this company highly enough. Had them for my sons 5th birthday and it was perfect. The kids were totally engaged and immersed and even the adults loved ten show. The host Aricella was 10/10!!!!

  • 5/5 Hayley C. 11 months ago on Google
    Reptile Encounters visited our school for a year 1 incursion. Charli the presenter was very engaging and targeted her presentation and the information given perfectly to the student's ability. The students loved learning about the 7 species of animals and getting the opportunity to pat/touch them. We would definitely recommend this incursion and would have them back again. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Nicole R. 1 year ago on Google
    A massive thanks to Josh (AKA Animal Man) for today’s visit for my sons 4th birthday! He was very engaging and provided information to the kids about the animals that was age appropriate and easy for them to understand. The olive python and crocodile were a big hit amongst the kids. I loved the barking owl! Highly recommend. Thanks again Josh 😊

  • 5/5 Jennifer J. 3 years ago on Google
    We would highly recommend Reptile Encounters! We had them come to our house with a Wildlife Package and Tia was the presenter. Tia was INCREDIBLE! Friendly, aware, amazing with kids and adults and so super knowledgeable and kind. The animals were of course amazing - a huge range, and carefully managed and handles with love. Everyone was so entertained and captured by it all, and how great to be further inspired in the area of wildlife conservation. Thanks so much Reptile Encounter team!

    Reptile Encounters delivered virtual incursions to our vocational education groups across a range of levels and ages. All students were engaged and responsive throughout and loved the presentations! They have raved about the animals and the topics for weeks since and thoroughly appreciated the energy from the presenters! Thanks Reptile Encounters Team!

    SKCC was very lucky to have Reptile Encounters join us for our school holiday program. It was just fantastic, the children loved it.

  • 5/5 Jim and K. 3 years ago on Google
    My daughter loved Ranger For a Day program. It was very intimate, lots of one on one attention was given to the kids which might not happen at bigger zoos. The other few kids happened to know each other and my daughter tends to be on the shy side. She said that on their lunch break one of the mentors sat with her and they chatted away and ate their lunch together, which I love that the mentor did that! Thankyou. She’s already keen to sign up again next holidays!

  • 5/5 Aaron D. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic. Our daughter loved her 6th birthday party at the HQ and wont stop talking about it. Josh put on a fun show for the kids and made every effort to include all the party kids in the show. They were all so happy. Thanks Reptile Encounters team.

    My 4 year old had a zoom Reptile Encounter session through his kindergarten and I couldn't recommend it enough. The facilitator Cara was amazing - so engaging and friendly and of course so knowledgeable in regards to the animals. She involved the kids so much and had my little guy captivated for the whole session. Even us adults learnt a thing or two and really enjoyed it!

  • 5/5 kelly g. 3 years ago on Google
    Tia was so engaging and her Energy was just amazing . We had one child that was very unsure and sat away and watched from afar and Tia still tried to include her with each animal which was very kind . Thanks so much .

    We went to their open day and it was great! The show was fun and we got to tour the centre afterwards and see all the animals. The staff were all so lovely and friendly and clearly very passionate about conservation and the care of the animals. They allowed the children to hold and pet some of the animals they had which was the highlight of many!

    Knowledgeable, passionate and friendly staff. From snakes to sugar gliders the staff at reptile encounters know it all. Supplying in depth informational and hands on talks about these beautiful creatures. Tiny the olive python was definitely the star of the show 🐍 Highly recommend reptile encounters 👍🏻

  • 5/5 Annemarie 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant! Reptile Encounters did a demonstration for my son's 7th birthday party (we chose the package in which they bring reptiles plus a bird and a mammal). The kids (and adults) loved it. It was so informative and engaging and customer service was fabulous. It was clear that staff were passionate about Australian wildlife conservation and teaching kids about caring for the environment so animals have food and safety. Everyone who attended was really impressed. I thought it was excellent value for money.

  • 5/5 Victoria 2 years ago on Google
    Took my 22 month daughter for a tour today. It was amazing! She loved every minute of it. So many animals to see 😍 The tour guide was so caring and very attentive with my daughter. Explaining where every animal came from. Highly recommend a visit and birthday parties for kids.

    Fantastic venue, to have a party. Highly recommend. Great host, very knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 Kerry F. 4 years ago on Google
    My young children and I had the most wonderful time on our reptile tour. Our guide Rhianne was extremely patient with my busy 4 year old and still managed to catch his attention with engaging questions and the opportunity to touch uniquely Australian animals. Her passion for animals has remained in our hearts and we carry this new knowledge into experiences we go on throughout Australia.

  • 5/5 Kerry N. 4 years ago on Google
    Thanks so much for a great party! You kept 20 odd children from 6-10 entertained, enthralled and interested for the hour. Phew! I can’t tell you how many reports we’ve had from guests’ parents sharing all the interesting facts their children have learnt! Thanks for a terrific day and thanks to Cara and friends for their calm appearance!!

  • 5/5 Kay S. 3 years ago on Google
    I don't know if the kids enjoyed it but as a 66 year old nature lover I certainly did. Very informative and educational and the presenter was excellent even brought out an unplanned crocodile for one of the viewers who loved crocodiles.

  • 5/5 Laura F. 2 years ago on Google

Would absolutely recommend for a birthday or event. Josh & his team were awesome too - really dedicated to this passion.

    The webinar on the different body organ systems was very well conducted and Cara was so knowledgeable on the subject matter.

    My son's birthday party was the best! I think the adults had an even better time with the lizards, snakes and the huge croc. Thanks Josh for this amazing experience!

    I booked this experience from New Zealand after searching for somewhere my daughter could hold a snake and was worried as had no idea where we were going but I’m so pleased we found it. It was an amazing experience and so much more than we were expecting. We got to see and touch so many animals but also learn a lot about them from a very knowledgeable Josh. We all loved it and would highly recommend to others.
