Alice Springs Reptile Centre, Reptile exhibition center in Alice Springs, Australia.
Description
Alice Springs Reptile Centre is an exhibition space with more than 100 reptiles from Central Australia. Visitors can see thorny devils, frilled-neck lizards, geckos, perentie lizards, and a saltwater crocodile named Terry.
History
The centre developed out of a need to manage the relationship between people and reptiles in Alice Springs. What began as a snake rescue operation grew into an educational facility for the community.
Culture
The centre serves as a place where locals and visitors learn about the reptiles that truly live in the Australian outback. It shows which species belong to this region and how they fit into desert life.
Practical
The centre is located in Alice Springs and welcomes visitors daily, so plan time for a relaxed visit without rushing through. Wear comfortable shoes as outdoor areas can get hot and walking distances vary throughout the facility.
