Love Me Like A Reptile is the wild...life of the party! This interactive wildlife show is perfect for children, families, and animal lovers of all ages. Run by passionate educator Olivia Knowles, who has over 12 years of experience in Animal Assisted Learning programs, this event is all about creating meaningful connections between people and native Australian animals.

With a strong focus on the comfort and welfare of both the animals and audience, each session provides a safe, respectful, and unforgettable opportunity to meet and learn about some of Australia’s most fascinating creatures.

Expect friendly encounters with reptiles and other native wildlife and learn how to care for our natural environment.

The session includes a variety of animals such as a frog, turtle, lizards, pythons, a baby crocodile, and marsupials such as a sugar glider and bettong.

Every show is designed to inspire kindness, curiosity, and a deeper respect for the animals that call Australia home.
