There are regular daily displays, as well as exhibits such as a walk-through aviary, a monsoonal forest walk, wetlands area, goose lagoon, and so much more. Allow at least 4 hours here, if not the whole day.
There is a kiosk at the park, or you can take your own food and have a most amazing picnic.

Howard Springs sports a crocodile free swimming hole, while you can visit with real crocodiles at the Darwin Crocodile Farm, where after the feeding , you can sample croc steaks and see the products of this working croc farm.

There is also an exciting 'feeding' of the crocs, where meat is suspended from long poles, and you can be awed at the height a crocodile can reach when leaping for food. Whatever you do, don't forget the camera or video recorder.
