Reviews from Real Guests:

Dana: Went to this place with my man! It's a great place to see Crocodiles because they allow visitors to get close to the Crocodiles. Not really that close, but the Crocodiles are placed in fences that allows people to see them clearly. The attraction is also well-maintained where statues and the whole place are freshly painted. If you want your kids to see live Crocodiles, this is the absolute place to be!

Joan Marie: It was a nice experience especially watching the fire dance. The animal show was also entertaining. The food is superb. Roasted crocodile & Crocodile pandan ice cream. My family did have fun. We’ll go back soon ❤️
