What visitors say
So many cool reptiles to check out over here. After you make your way around the main room be sure to go down the stairs for the tortoises. They are so big! It’s fun to watch them eat the leafy greens.
Great calming place, interesting and instructive. The owners and workers are very kind and explain all about the reptiles and answer questions patiently. We will surely go back and visit!
