- The admission price of $12 per person includes a leaf of lettuce to feed the tortoises. For a couple extra dollars, you can add mealworms and tweezers to feed the water turtles—a great value for interactive experiences.
- Plan to feed the tortoises and turtles as a highlight of your visit. This hands-on experience is included with admission and is consistently praised by visitors as a memorable interactive activity.
- The zoo offers interactive animal encounters beyond viewing—you can hand-feed reptiles, hold snakes, and hug iguanas. Allow at least 1-2 hours to fully enjoy these hands-on experiences with different species.
- Birthday parties at Idaho Reptile Zoo are highly personalized with staff conducting engaging shows and checking on guests throughout the event. Consider booking a party here for a memorable, reasonably-priced celebration.
- Educational field trips are available—contact the zoo in advance to arrange a group visit where staff can provide educational context about the reptiles, their habitats, and conservation.
