Platypus House

Top choice in Tasmania


Cute Platypus House puts the world’s only two monotremes – the platypus and the echidna – on display for your viewing pleasure. Platypuses (including Jupiter, the largest platypus in captivity) swim about in glass-sided tanks, while in the 'echidna garden', the spiky critters wander around your feet as guides dish out scientific facts and feed. Guided tours depart on the hour.
