If
the tourists won't go out to see the crocs, then bring the crocs to the tourists. Right in the
middle of Mitchell St, Crocosaurus Cove is as close as you'll ever want to get to these
amazing creatures. Six of the largest crocs in captivity can be seen in state-of-the-art
aquariums and pools. You can be lowered right into a pool with them in the transparent
Cage of Death
(1/2 people $150/220)
. If that's too scary, there's another pool where you
can swim with a clear tank wall separating you from some mildly less menacing baby
crocs. Other aquariums feature barramundi, turtles and stingrays, plus there's an enorm-
ous reptile house (allegedly the greatest variety of reptiles on display in the country).
