Small surprising place

Very kid friendly place. My son 7 went alone in and got a nice support. The surrounding at the crags is cool as well.

Best reptile park!

From the moment the guides ran to us with umbrellas in the rain with a smile and a laugh, I knew that this place was special - utterly professional, meticulous and world class facilities and highly entertaining and informative! Well done!!

As a snake lover I found this a great place - we had a 1:1 guided tour by Albert who was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and funny - and spent well over an hour with us. The snakes are very well kept and displayed. Well worth a...More

Snakes

Great tour guide and a fun experience. Would be even better if it wasn't rainy, didn't stop the tour guide though. Awesome time and would highly recommend that you go out and do this.

Lovely place and snakes

It really is quite a nice looking sanctuary with gorgeous snakes and reptiles. You also get to hold 2 different kinds of snakes. The thing is... the Guide really spoiled the whole trip for us. Sorry but he just tries too hard to be funny....More
