Reviews of The Reptile House & Rescue
"Awesome experience for both the kids and family. Kids had a blast and maybe even learned a thing or two, will be back!"
"The Reptile House made my sons 3rd birthday extra special, all of the kids (and adults) had a blast! Everyone came up to me afterwards telling me how much they loved the show and how awesome it was!"
"The Reptile House in Huntington Mall was a magical and humbling experience. When I learned that they are a reptile rescue center, I had to take a tour due to my experience with Herpetology. I learned the success stories of many of their different reptile rescues and even got to hold many of them, it was truly heartwarming knowing that there are people in this world that care about these amazing creatures. If you’re ever in the Huntington Mall, stop by for a visit and give them a donation, they are a non profit organization that could use our help saving reptiles in our area! I will definitely be returning in the future!"
"We heard of The Reptile House from the Best of West Virginia survey through WV Living. My girlfriend loves all kinds of reptiles so we decided to check them out. Admission was $5 per person (I think it may be less for kids), and admission costs go to helping the rescue. They have a pretty good collection of reptiles in their care and most of them seem to have very good enclosures. The water turtles and the gator were very cool to see in the middle of the Barboursville mall. They have several snakes, a couple very cool large tortoises, at least one monitor, and a chunky toad. Even with their good sized collection, the space isn't crowded at all and they seem to have plenty of room to grow. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering good information about the animals. This was a very cool place that is very accessible, the admission fee keeps the place from being too crowded but is a completely reasonable rate, and the staff seemed to care for all the animals. If you decide to bring kids, just make sure they don't tap on the habitats and scare the animals, otherwise, it's a very educational opportunity and I wish we would have had something like this when I was growing up."
"We contacted the Reptile House for our sons 6th birthday and it was a HUGE SUCCESS! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. All the kids had a great time. We can’t wait to visit them at their “home” location. Thank you so much for coming out and helping us celebrate!"
