What visitors say
The staffs are super friendly and enthusiastic to introduce every animal you are interested in. Love hugging the snakes. It feels like a ice bag over your shoulder. Not yet try hugging the super big red tail boa yet. Maybe next time.…
This is a pretty great reptile house. Classic architecture, plenty of interesting and unique species including Cuban Crocodiles and an Aligator Snapping Turtle. Definitely worth a look next time you visit the zoo
Absolutely adore, amazing reptiles that are exceedingly well cared for <3
