AUSTRALIAN REPTILE PARK

Public BBQ

The Australian Reptile Park proves that wildlife encounters and family picnics make surprisingly good companions. Beyond the impressive collection of reptiles rarely seen elsewhere, the park offers ample covered picnic areas where families can settle in for a proper meal break. The massive playground provides essential respite for energetic kids between animal encounters, while the café surprises with genuinely good chips, no small feat in the theme park food world. What sets this place apart is its hands-on approach. Children can actually interact with animals rather than just observe through glass. The combination of educational wildlife experiences, quality picnic facilities, and that sprawling playground creates an ideal day out for families seeking more than your typical BBQ spot.
