This was a very interactive experience and it was amazing to see and learn about so many different species of snake and many other animals from crocodiles to reptiles. The guide was glad to answer all of our questions and there was a lovely shop at the end. Highly recommend this as it was an informative and enjoyable experience.

I highly recommend this place; the kids loved it. The tour guide was great; he provided us with a wealth of information about the snakes. It was both educational and fun at the same time. The kids were able to handle the snakes without any additional fees.

What a fantastic place. Conor showed us around and he was very engaging. His knowledge of snakes is immense and he was fantastic at explaining to 3 kids under the age of 5 what each snake was etc. I’m not a fan of snakes but he was great about that as well. Keep up the good work
