Outside near the hatchlings is a concrete enclosure for the
more mature crocodiles. There is a metal path over the top
of the enclosures where visitors may walk across the top to
the other end. The enclosure is divided into sections where
some contain the huge saltwater crocodiles. Then, there
are two larger sections that contain dozens of smaller adult
crocodiles.
After the crocodile enclosures, visitors are also able to view
other animals that the center have rescued and taking
care of. There are also ostriches, Philippine cockatoos and
bearcats housed at the center. Visitors to the center also have
an opportunity to have pictures taken with the crocodiles of
the center. For a small fee and the assistance of center staff
you may take hold of a baby crocodile and have your picture
taken.
