Great place for animal lovers, they were super knowledgeable about all the animals, and took the time to talk with everyone and all there questions. Also have talks going alot, I spent 4 hours there just wanting to see all the different animal talks. They are included in the price too. They also have an extra charge to feed the animals, it was 16$ and so worth it! I fed stingrays, sharks, gators, turtles, fish more too. Really awesome experience. Great for kids of all sizes too. They also have fans everywhere really helps with the heat. As someone who works in the animal industry I highly recommend checking it out. Oh and they hire ppl with disabilities, it's really sweet and refreshing to see.

I had previously been to their old location multiple times this was my first time at their new location and it was wonderful. Very family friendly perfect for homeschooling (offter educational homeschool classes each month) and easy to walk around. We did a tour with our homeschool co-op, watched the reptile show, watched the scuba diving show, saw tiny baby alligators getting fed, and watched the big alligator show. Honestly can't recommend this enough!

A great time with the kids. Even my 12 year old had fun. I love that it is interactive, and you are able to have encounters with the animals. Definitely a hit with the little ones. The new location is nice. One thing I would personally like, is healthier snacks. But besides that, everything was awesome!

Love ❤️ this small family owned reptile & aquarium. We were late in the day 1:30 pm getting here so our first showis the Reptile Encounters. We did get to explore a few reptile hallways & see the caiman & crocodiles while waiting. The reptile encounter was awesome! You'll 👀 see the pics below. They scuba diver show was one of the best fish encounters I have ever seen. This family deserves a lot of credit for all the work they have done here and how healthy all the creatures are. Some came to them from bad places and they have rehabilitated them. Some were given to them because they became too big for their owners. Thank goodness they donated them to this fantastic facility instead of releasing them. Get ready for some awesome videos & pictures. The lighting is a little shaded for the animals so, I hope most of the pictures come out as good as they were.🥴😂🥰🐢🐊🦝🦜🐸🦎🐉🐍🦈🦀🦞🦐🐟🐠ǰ

Amazing!! My family and I love this place! We have been coming since the previous location! I highly recommend this experience to everyone! This is a place not to be missed out on while on vacation! It is a family owned business and they take great care of all the animals, amphibians, reptiles, etc! All the staff are crazy knowledgeable! And there are shows every hour! Love it here!
