About the Reptile House
The Reptile House, now known as the Charles H. Hoessle Herpetarium, is a unique institution located at 1 Government Drive in St. Louis, Missouri. This Mediterranean-style stucco building houses a diverse collection of reptiles and amphibians from around the world, many of which are endangered species. Originally constructed in 1927, the Herpetarium underwent renovations 50 years later and is now home to over 700 animals.
The Herpetarium supports four different climates – montane, temperate, tropical, and desert – providing a comfortable environment for its inhabitants. The institution was one of the first of its kind, dedicated solely to snakes, lizards, frogs, and other amphibians. In 2002, it was renamed in honor of the Zoo's Director Emeritus, Charles H. Hoessle.
Visitors can take a stroll through Historic Hill, one of the oldest parts of the Saint Louis Zoo, to experience the rich history and architectural charm of the 1904 World’s Fair Flight Cage, Bird House, Primate House, and Herpetarium. With a mix of nostalgia and modern exhibits, the Herpetarium offers a unique ambiance that makes it a must-visit destination for animal lovers of all ages.
Reviews of Reptile House
"Great place to see fascinating herps."
"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."
