What visitors say
Awesome exhibit for the reptile habitat. It’s a toasty 80 degrees even when it’s a 26 degree day in January 2025.
It's nice to see all the reptiles, unfortunately one of the exhibits/terrariums was boarded up, hopefully they'll have an improved home made for them soon.
Very nice setup for all the reptiles in here. Parents don't watch their kids, so that's annoying. But all in all my favorite part of the zoo.
