Armadale Reptile Centre, Wildlife center in Armadale, Australia
Armadale Reptile Centre is a wildlife facility in Armadale that houses over 50 species of reptiles. The collection includes saltwater crocodiles, lizards, snakes, turtles, and various Australian bird species.
The facility was founded in 1995 by Klaas and Mieke Gaikhorst, who combined their expertise in animal care. Klaas brought extensive knowledge from his prior work as a reptile specialist at Perth Zoo.
The facility allows visitors to observe Australian reptiles in action during feeding times and demonstrations. These sessions help people understand how these animals behave and interact in their environment.
The venue is easy to reach and maintains regular operating hours throughout the week. Plan to spend several hours here to comfortably see the displays and watch the demonstrations without rushing.
The facility operates a rehabilitation hospital for injured wildlife, providing medical treatment and preparing animals for release back into nature. This turns the center into a working rescue operation, not just a display space.
