Show times

Arrive a quarter of an hour before
Anyone arriving Between the shows sees the farm without the show, and that's half the value.
An hour on-site is enough

What is included and what is not
The part that surprises people at the ticket booth
The ticket includes Entry to the farm and the show, and also a free tour among the pools after it. that's everything it includes.
What isn't included and is paid on-site: Crocodile feeding, a photo with a crocodile, and food and drinks. These are not part of the ticket, and it's worth knowing this in advance so it doesn't come as a surprise.
Also Getting there is not included, there's no transport from the hotel, and getting there is by taxi or a rented car.
It's worth bringing cash for those who plan to use these extras. not every stand on-site accepts cards.
The children's question
And it's not a question of age but of character
The child price starts from age 4, but age isn't really the criterion. The show includes close contact between the trainers and the crocodiles, and these moments excite some children and stress others.
Children who love zoos and big animals usually love this very much. children who are startled by sudden noise or by tension, less so.
The practical recommendation is simple: Decide in advance that it's okay to leave in the middle. The stand is open, leaving is easy, and knowing this is an option relieves the tension for the whole family.
And for those who come with young children, the stand fills up before the start, and a seat in the back rows is further away and also calmer.
Where does it fit into the day
A one-hour attraction is a filler tool
An hour on-site is completely enough, 20 to 25 minutes of show, plus a bit of touring. This makes the farm one of the easiest attractions to fit into a schedule in Phuket.
It works well After a morning at the sea, when everyone has already showered and there are two free hours before dinner.
It also works On a transit day, a day when you're switching hotels or waiting for an evening flight and can't start anything big.
And what it isn't, is a full-day destination. those who dedicate a day to it will find themselves finishing by noon.
What to expect from the farm itself
The part after the show, which most people rush to skip
After the show, the free tour opens up, and that's the part worth not giving up. The crocodiles resting in the pools look completely different from those in the show, almost completely still, and at sizes that are hard to estimate from the stand.
This is also the good opportunity to take photos. in the show everything moves fast and from a distance, and at the pools you can get close and take your time.
There's a shop on-site, and also stands for the paid extras. those who don't plan to use them can walk past them without pressure.
And those who come with children will find that this particular part, Without noise, without a crowd and at their own pace, is sometimes what they remember.
Who this suits
And who should think twice
For families with children from age 4, and for those looking for a short attraction that fits between two big activities. an hour on-site is definitely enough.
Sensitive children, the show includes close contact between the trainers and the crocodiles, and this excites some and stresses others. it's worth deciding in advance that it's okay to leave in the middle.

How the show is structured
20 to 25 minutes, most of it in one pool
The show takes place In a central pool with a stand around it. the trainers go into the water with the crocodiles and demonstrate behaviors, jaw opening, reaction to movement, and a working distance that looks much closer than what most viewers expect.
The pace picks up toward the end. the part that produces the strongest reaction from the crowd comes in the last minutes, so Those who leave in the middle miss exactly what they came for.
The explanation in the show is not in Hebrew. this doesn't interfere with understanding, what happens is completely clear visually, but those who expect accompanying guidance won't get it.
After the show ends, the crowd disperses and the farm remains open. this is the best time to walk around among the pools, because most people are already on their way out.
Arrive on time, that's the whole strategy here
The difference between a full visit and a half visit is a quarter of an hour
The farm is open continuously from 09:00 to 18:00, but The show only happens at six set times. those who arrive between shows see crocodiles resting in the pools, and that's a completely different sight, quiet, static, and not what the ticket was meant for.
So the only rule that really matters: Choose a show in advance and arrive a quarter of an hour before it. A quarter of an hour is enough to get in, find a seat in the stand and sit down without rushing.
The shows are spread throughout the day, from 11:30 in the morning to 17:00, and this is very convenient for scheduling. you can combine this before lunch, after it, or as a last stop before returning to the hotel.
The last show at 17:00 is usually the least crowded. those who want a good seat in the stand without fighting for it, this is the time.
