Crocodile Farm

There are more than 1,000 of them in this farm, including a toothless 130-year-old. Past its prime, this geriatric prefers to spend its golden years sunbathing rather than scaring away the visitors. The crocs here are of the saltwater crocodile species (Crocodiles Porous). As you venture deeper into the farm, you may notice that the crocodiles keep getting bigger. They oblige trigger-happy tourists by going right to the water’s edge to stir up some “excitement” for that perfect photo moment. Leave the farm with interesting facts on crocodiles, and take home some souvenirs. The farm is open from 9am to 6pm.
