They have over 100 different species; from alligators, frogs, snakes, lizards, turtles, axolotls, and more. It's over 13,000 square feet of space with exhibits indoors and outdoors.

We loved seeing all the reptiles and amphibians; our favorites were the alligators and axolotls. There is a store onsite for gifts too. If you like unique experiences, I highly recommend a visit.

The first thing we noticed was how attentive and friendly all of the staff were. It's apparent that they enjoy their work and go out of their way to ensure the customers are enjoying themselves too. The safety briefing found the perfect balance of providing necessary info without being overbearing right before the fun starts. The courses are all very well laid out and offer an excellent progression as the comfort and confidence grows. There are enough options to choose from that it never felt crowded at all even though they were very busy today with the nice weather. Overall, just a simply amazing day trip and well worth the 1.5 hr drive for us to get there. We are already planning our next trip and our only regret is that it took us so long to find out about The Adventure Park and make the time to go.

it was such a fun experience for my family, they loved it so much, we'll definitely be back!!read more

We recently went to Lava Island and had a blast! From the moment you enter there are so many…read moreamazing murals and you feel the excitement in the air. We spent 3 hours and our toddler had the time of her life! Absolutely love the separate Junior play area that is enclosed so the littles can run wild. From the entrance, the place mag seem small but they have so much to do and so many different fun opportunities for kids to try. We went on a Sunday, it was overwhelming and packed but we did not feel like we had people crowding us at all. Love the fact that there is a small food court because hunger will strike when you use up so much energy. The cons for me are that everyone even adults who don't want to jump must pay to go in. Also, the cubbies are wide open so we didn't feel safe leaving the area where we left our things unattended. Overall we had a great time.
