"This hidden gem is a must see. For only $8 you can see a wonderful display of reptiles in this awesome place. The animals are well kept and the layout is very good. We had an enjoyable time."
"Probably the best bang for your buck reptile exhibit I have ever seen. It was $8 a person and well worth what we got out of it. As a reptile keeper myself, I was very impressed with the wide variety of species they had. Very impressed with the alligators, crocodiles, and specially the snakes. People talk about how the alligators and crocodiles look fake, if you bring a hat, dangle it in front of them as if you're holding a piece of me and they will move. Everything was very clean and well taken care of. They have plenty of space to move around that are well taken care of contrary to other reviews. It is not fully comparable to a high dollar reptile museum but for eight bucks it was completely worth our money, I would have gladly paid double that for what we got out of it. Please go here to support this place and the endangered species it houses. Thank you."
"Very interesting exhibit. We enjoyed ourselves. Nice place to stretch your legs and take a break from the ordinary stop."
"This place was really amazing! They have an enormous population of crocs, gators, turtles, tortoises, venomous snakes, and a few lizards. The animals all appear to be well cared-for, and many have moving water running through their habitats. We took our time, and never felt rushed. Just a really awesome place to visit!"
"This place was a hidden gem! Our dad wanted to take a nap on our drive so we went in here to kill time and it was a pleasant surprise. Only $14 for the two of us to enter and we had it to ourselves. The enclosures were large and clean and the layout was neat with a wide path and lots of tropical plants. The snakes were very cool as well."
