We bring Reptile Encounters to your event! - All ages - Customise your experience
Reptile Encounters is a Burwood, VIC-based wildlife education provider specializing in hands-on reptile and native animal experiences. The organisation offers a range of guided sessions including HQ Tours, school incursions, kids parties, corporate events and specialised zookeeper programs for youth. The Zookeeper for a Day programs (7–11 years and 12–18 years) allow participants to handle, feed and care for Australian reptiles, birds and mammals while learning practical husbandry and conservation principles. The Pathways Zookeeper Program (NDIS 14+) delivers a sensory-friendly, supportive environment designed for autistic participants and others who benefit from adapted learning. HQ Tours provide one-hour guided encounters to meet snakes, crocodiles and parrots with opportunities to hold selected animals and learn species-specific facts. Corporate Events and Stage Shows bring live reptile presentations to workplaces and functions to engage teams and guests. School Incursions deliver curriculum-aligned, hands-on lessons about ecosystems, adaptations and classification. Kids Parties combine education with entertainment through interactive animal handling and Q&A that can be customised. Staff at Reptile Encounters follow established welfare and safety practices to ensure animal care and participant well-being, and sessions include instructional briefings and supervised handling. Bookings are available for individual visitors, groups, schools and corporate clients. Reptile Encounters operates from Burwood, VIC and focuses on authentic, educational wildlife experiences that connect people with native Australian animals while promoting conservation awareness.
The Zookeeper for a Day (12–18 years) includes feeding reptiles and birds and offers a certificate on completion to recognise participation. Participants receive guided instruction and supervised animal interactions every session.
