This was our first time here and we were blown away! I have two sons ages 4 & 6 and they have not…read morestopped talking about everything we got to see/do! Blythe was our tour guide and she was SO amazing, patient, sweet and so incredibly knowledgeable. I especially appreciated her kindness with my 6 year old who is a huge reptile fan and had a million questions a minute, Blythe is a true gem. I'm really appreciative of the way she interacted with my kids and made sure everyone could hear/see what she was talking to us about. We got to feed the tortoises, chickens, my boys got to hold snakes and see so many other reptiles, crocodiles, alligators and so many more awesome creatures! It's worth every penny, and the drive (for us.) I would recommend this, 10/10!!

Oh, wow, we had some time off with family in town this past week and I was looking for activities…read morethat were both new to me and new to my visitors with small children. I've never heard of the herpetological sanctuary before, but it looked interesting enough. I was hum-ho about the entry price at first, it is quite the cost when you're bringing 8 people at ~$25 per person, but I decided to bite the bullet, every dollar goes to support the sanctuary after all. This was hands down the sleeper activity that no one was expecting. A few of the young ones in our group are into lizards and bugs so I thought they'd have an enjoyable afternoon. The sanctuary features a huge amount of rare reptilian rescues reside right here in our own city. Our tour was guided by Blythe, and she sure knew her stuff. She walked us through and talked about all the various turtles, tortoises, snakes, lizards, and the many crocodiles and alligators they have living right here in town. I was personally in shock at how many cool and even endangered species they have rescued here. During our tour I had mentioned one of the kids in our group were planning to acquire a lizard soon and Blythe let us on to the fact that they also adopt out the rescued reptiles and they in fact had a few of the exact geckos they were interested in. We left that day with a lot more reptilian knowledge than we came in with and a few weeks later one of their reptiles were rescued for a cost that was much, much less expensive than buying a $200 pet store gecko. Over all, I'm super glad we visited, as much as it painted me to take a $200 tour of the facility at first, it was worth every penny we spent for the experience. Your kids will love it here and you might just find that you yourself as an adult will enjoy the experience also. Who knows, maybe this is where you're going to find your own next reptilian friend to rescue.
