Animals and Exhibits
The park had a collection of more than 50 species of reptiles including crocodiles, Komodo dragons, anacondas, pythons, king cobras, and tortoises, almost half of which were poisonous. It included a walk-through iguana enclosure, a footbridge over a collection of hundreds of crocodiles, an underwater observation gallery, and the Cavern of Darkness, which simulated nighttime for the crocodiles, including Asian tropical jungle sounds.
There were crocodile feeding sessions and reptile shows. Visitors could have their pictures taken with snakes and other reptiles, and reptile skin products could be purchased in the showroom.
