Platypus House
  With your See Tasmania Smartvisit Card, you will receive a FREE Tour at Platypus House.

Situated on the western banks of the Tamar River at Beauty Point, Platypus House offers the rare opportunity to see the unique Tasmanian platypus and echidna in an indoor setting. Thousands of years of isolation now suggest that the Tasmanian platypus is becoming
genetically discreet from their mainland neighbours.

Here you will learn and discover the true beauty of these mammals. Each tour explores and views the platypus ponds where you can watch them feed and play and a walk through the echidna garden. Entrance also includes viewing the Interpretation Centre and a 15 minute film in the Theatrette. Don't miss out on a guaranteed sighting!

Platypus House is just one of over 60 attractions that make up the sightseeing pass known as the See Tasmania Smartvisit Card. This smartcard allows you entry and special discounted offers to this attraction and many more.
