Croc-tober at Ballarat Wildife Park

Ballarat Wildlife Park

Things are getting snappy at Ballarat Wildlife Park this Croc-tober. Join them throughout October for a month of crocodilian discovery, activities and special experiences designed to build awareness of these remarkable reptiles and the importance of their conservation. Follow the Croc Spot signs around the park to find juvenile freshwater crocodiles, adult freshwater crocodiles, Crunch and Bella the saltwater crocodiles, and American alligators. Take your time, look closely and discover the differences between these extraordinary reptiles. Hear from the expert crocodile keepers during the daily Crocodilian Talks and learn about crocodilian behaviour, adaptations and conservation. Get your Limited-Edition Croc-tober Crunch Cookies in the cafe and your croc merch in the gift shop. The Croc-tober Junior Croc Keeper Experience invites all young crocodile enthusiasts to step into the boots of a wildlife keeper in an action-packed, two-hour experience. Participants will discover fascinating crocodilians, learn from the expert keepers and enjoy an exclusive taste of life as a reptile keeper at Ballarat Wildlife Park. This experience is conducted on Saturday 24 October at 10.30 am and 1.30 pm. Croc spotting and daily crocodilian talks are included in admission tickets to the Ballarat Wildlife Park. The Croc-tober Junior Croc Keeper Experience must be booked seperately. Please visit the Ballarat Wildlife Park for more information and the booking link.
