Riverside Reptiles Education Center 132 South Road, Enfield, CT 06082

"Amazing place! They take such great care of their animals and have them in perfect and large enclosures. It was really refreshing to see a place that actually has appropriate care for their reptiles. Extra shout out to the staff member with green hair (I’m sorry I didn’t get their name). They were super helpful, knowledgeable, and informative! You could tell they really loved their job and that made the experience even better for me and my family."

"Awesome place! Amazing variety of beautiful, exotic, majestic creatures from around the world. Beautiful enclosures that display these amazing creatures in a setting representing their natural habitat. Prices are incredibly reasonable, fun items in the gift shop. Friendly, knowledgeable team members. Well worth a visit regardless of your feelings about reptiles, you may find a new appreciation for these glorious animals. I will be going again to check out the animal encounters."

"RREC was amazing! We went on a Wednesday afternoon & pretty much had the place to ourselves, which we prefer. Our daughter, almost 4yo, was in reptile heaven! She walked around and around the exhibits in awe. The animal’s enclosures are all extremely clean and well kept for. Beautiful reptiles from all over the world in a close up setting, it’s definitely a place to go if you or your little ones love reptiles."

"We had our kiddos birthday here on a Sunday morning, and had never visited before. I'm so glad we did!! The party room is HUGE and has a lot of space to be comfortable with your guests, plus has 2 private restrooms. All of the kids were energized and having a blast the entire time...exploring, searching, and especially learning! Cassie was an excellent host and very communicative, flexible to our schedule while there and accommodated our requests. We got to meet Panda and a few others in the party room, as well as some other creatures in the exhibit that everyone in the center is able to see! The center and the party room and restrooms are accessible by wheelchair. I also appreciate that most of the creatures there are rescues/etc, and an amazing and unusual collection that you don't get to see everywhere. I feel like people who say otherwise just honestly have no appreciation for reptiles or maybe just not enough knowledge to appreciate what they are seeing. Our entire party enjoyed several hours here and had a BLAST!!! We could not have been more satisfied with our experience and are looking forward to visiting again! :)"

"Really enjoyed all the different species of snakes, turtles, lizards, frogs and the Alligator. Each exhibit is very well maintained and nice and big and clean. Loved when we got to touch a live snake too. My son really loved the gift shop at the end. Can't wait to go back."
