Superstar Croc Experience

Superstar Croc Experience

This summer come face-to-face with Melbourne's one and only 750kg, 50-year-old MEGA Croc, Pinjarra, settling into his meticulously designed Croc Lair exhibit. Delve into Pinjarra's habitat in the walk-through croc cave, spy on his every move from the look-out boat and press your nose to the heads-up bubbles to inspect his every weird and wonderful angle right up close. Whether you dare to venture into his Croc Lair alone or grab a friend, it's sure to be a jaw-dropping experience seeing Pinjarra's long snout, snappy jaws and powerful tail lurking in the shallow waters. His enormous size must be seen to be believed!

With presentations and plenty of croc kids' activities on offer including colouring-in and special touch and feel reptilian encounters, you can also spend hours learning about what makes these fascinating prehistoric creatures and other aquatic animals so special, what they like to eat and how they survive.

For a truly memorable experience, kids will also be given the chance to go on a behind-the-scenes tour as an Ocean Ranger or get hands-on with activities such as a day – or even week - in the life of an Aquarist, every animal-loving child's dream!

Adults can also join in the fun with Husbandry 101 sessions offering one-on-one workshops with its resident vet while assisting the aquarist with animal behavioural training, enrichment activities, feeding and much more.

Have you got your dive mask? Kids can follow SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium's BREED, RESCUE and PROTECT characters Tyler, Mia and Magnus on an interactive quiz trail where they can soak up all there is to know about the aquarium's many conservation initiatives, PLUS discover how they can do their bit to help protect the ocean and its creatures for generations to come.
