Great place to visit...even in October! They do a great job of moving a lot of animals indoors when it gets cold, so you can still see them. Full review by michelleo102

Awesome place. We took our 4 kids, ages 2-9, they all loved it. I highly recommend going. We even went back a second day. The giant tortoises were our favorite. Full review by Mike H

From tiny prairie dogs to a giant alligator and gigantic turtles the Reptile Garden exposes you to the world of wildlife with emphasis on cold-blooded, slithery snakes. Lots to see and acts to enjoy… Full review by Richard W
