The new location is great. My kids and I had so much fun. We have been numerous times. I paid extra this time so my kids could feed the tortoises.

They had just moved so it was a little disorganized but they did a great job. Super fun and very informative.

We had such a fun time here! Sarah was an awesome guide, she was knowledgeable about the animals and really kind and friendly. We loved meeting her and the animals. The highlight was definitely getting to interact so closely with so many of them! We got to hold many of them, and pet several too.

It was interesting to hold the snakes and the other animals, but some of them are kept in bins and it just seems so unhealthy for them. The alligator needs to be released into the wild or a nature preserve. The snakes have a water dish and paper to lay on. I just felt bad for the animals. They are handled well, but they just aren't in an environment that reflects what their real homes would be like. It make me a bit sad for them.

This is a cool little place. We had a lot of fun. It's different than a typical zoo experience because you have a tour guide. They take the animals out, tell you all about them, and you get to hold a lot of them. The staff was really great.

What a great little hidden gem! The staff is so knowledgeable and excellent with groups of kids as well as animals. I’m astounded at how much value we got for our ticket price- it was as good a reptile show as you would get in a world class zoo. Will come again.
