Darwin’s iconic Crocosaurus Cove is “expanding” to Darwin International Airport, allowing travellers to experience the Cage of Death, daily crocodile feedings, and up-close encounters while waiting for their flights.

Melanie Cobbin, head of operations from Darwin International Airport, said the expansion had been a long-term project.

“After months of careful planning, we’re excited to confirm that Crocosaurus Cove will be expanding to Darwin International Airport,” she said.

Crocosaurus Cove operations manager Charlotte Price said it was an exciting time for Darwin. “We are proud to offer an airport world first opportunity for passengers to learn about crocodile conservation, education and get up close and personal with our Territory icon,” she said.

“We are thrilled to be relocating our iconic Cage of Death experience to the Darwin International Airport.

The Cage of Death will relocate to Darwin International Airport.

“This project is shovel ready, we are looking to break ground this afternoon.

“The experience will be available from the start of the Dry Season, and as part of the relocation, travelers will now be able to book the Cage of Death as an optional add-on when purchasing flights, just like excess baggage with airlines.

“Stay tuned as we release more details later in the day.”
