Snakes are amazing!

Throughout history, they have been sources of intrigue – even worship. Have you ever wondered what a snake looks like up close? Better still, would you like to touch one?

Here’s your chance to meet a live snake at our Perth Discovery Centre. Every Saturday in February, we are giving you the opportunity to say hello to our friendly snakes.

You can also participate in free craft activities, hear some great talks, and help us choose names for our newest snakes!
