Unbelievable & amazing experience at The Reptile Zoo!! The customer service was top notch, the animals were awake and thriving, the place was clean and well kept...I would go again and again. 10/10

What can I say that have not already been said? This place is the absolute Best if you like to see all things reptiles. What a gem in the heart of Orange County. The staff is terrific and friendly, and you can tell they all love being a part of something so great! Seeing alligators, pythons, anaconda, water monitors, lizards frogs, turtles, tortoise, and rattle snakes (it is awesome to see and hear the rattle snake when its rattling) and other creepy, crawlies all in one very unique location! You can feed the turtles or even hold a snake...eww!! =)10 Stars! Follow them on IG @jayprehistoricspets

Awesome place for reptile lovers! I think its a cheap fee for an amazing experience. The staff are incredibly friendly. This spot needs a second location near Los Angeles. I definitely will come back again and experience another live session. The best thing about the experience is the live demos of their reptiles, love holding snakes or bearded dragons? Wanna feed turtles and tortoises? Come to this spot you will LOVE IT!

I absolutely loved this place! There were so many different reptiles to see you never get bored. The animals were very well taken care of too. I definitely will be coming back. So much fun.

I was very excited about my visit however it was a let down. The lady at the front desk was very rude to my family and I. Especially about our face mask, rudely reminding us to keep our mask over our nose. It was $15 per person and in my opinion it was too expensive. If I’m gonna pay that much I wish the employees would have been a bit nicer. The snakes were awesome to look at but not so much the random cockroaches walking around us.

Loved this place!! Saw a lot of great animals and Im glad they were rescued and well taken care of now. Will definitely be back again to have a closer encounter with the animals BUT they did raise the prices.

I thought this would be a cool outing for my boys to enjoy. We all enjoyed it. I bought a deal off Groupon that included two admissions, an interactive presentation and two souvenir photos. I really enjoyed “wearing” a snake and my boys had a blast feeding the fish and turtles larvae worms and lettuce. Seeing the real Mrs. Kipling from Disney’s show Jessie was noteworthy. Overall, it’s a great option for learning about different kinds of reptile creatures. The staff were helpful and were willing to educate and answer questions.

Very clean inviroment. The employees in the back have a lot of knowledge regarding the snakes and different reptiles. My daughters loved it. I would recommend forsure. Thank you for the experience.

This was a lot of fun for our family. We spent about an hour seeing things from the tiniest of scorpions to very large tortoises and all manner of snakes in between. The exhibits are clearly marked and the staff was friendly. We happily made the donation this visit knowing that this place takes very good care of the animals and its for a good cause.

It is a place if you want to go to a little Safari. Not a big place, but the animals are well taken care. Something to do for an hour.

Great place to bring kids to see live reptiles! If lucky you can see a live taping of YouTube video!!

I LOVED this place! Not too big so we were there for a couple of hours and that was plenty of time. Take some time to do the demos and hold some of the creatures! We has kids age 4-14 with us and they all had a great time. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Amazing, just wonderful.Thank you for letting us in

Great experience with reptile animals very nice place recommended for someone who likes reptiles.

Very nice. Bigger than I anticipated with a large collection of animals.

A lot of fun for the whole family. Staff was very enthusiastic, friendly, and very helpful. The space was clean and well managed. Definitely recommend holding one of the available animals in the designated area with their staff if you can!

This place is pretty cool. If your interested in reptiles they have a lot.If you have you own mini-dino at home, there is a lot of equipment, decor, and feeders for sale. If you want to get a new pet, they sell those too.I found out its family owned and operated which I always appreciate. And everyone there seemed pretty knowledgeable about all the different reptiles on display.If you have children who like reptiles they also do birthday parties. At the zoo or at your party wherever that may be.All and all a good find! I recomend checking it out.

The place has some incredible dream reptiles but they are kept in too small of a space to even watch them move especially the tortoise pens which have them in areas that would be fit for a newborn tortoise

Cool place for me. It was cool to see adult size alligator, snap turtle, rattle snakes or reticulated python so up close. My husband is into reptiles so he was my tour guide which made it more interesting. Without someone explaining or answering questions, it might not be as interesting or educational.

Great place for kids to learn about reptiles. We went for a birthday party. Someone gave a presentation on some of the animals with hands on experience. It was a lot bigger than it looks from the outside!

Really worth the money to do the family pack for $65. The presentation was awesome and way longer than 20 minutes because the staff member was so gentle with the animals and kids. So many amazing creatures you can see up close! Loved the unmoving giant snapping turtle under the alligators, didnt even look real. My two girls really enjoyed feeding the African Barred Tortoises and the millions of turtles. We got to see Mrs. Kipling from Jessie and take a family photo with Marshmallow the Albino Burmese Python. You could spend an entire day and not see everything in here! Definitely going back if we travel to SoCal again! Do they sell season passes!? They should!

Wow what a sight....dress for warm climate though cuz it is a reptile zoo afterall

Amazing experience for all ages!!! Would definitely recommend! Staff was extremely nice and the animals are well taken care of!

We certainly enjoyed ourselves with our most recent visit to the reptile zoo. This time we got to feed some of the reptiles live bugs and lettuce. Such a large collection of reptiles some are even for sale! Theres also a gift shop with tons of unique reptile merchandise. Apparently you can also purchase live Critters to feed your reptiles at home.

If you like snakes, turtles, lizards or any of above, youre gonna love this place. Its got a huge collection of all kinds of reptiles. To see, to touch, to buy, whatever you want. The staff can also take certain snakes or lizards out at one point and youll be able to hold them for up close photos.

Lets just say most people spend about 2 hours in this place. Im totally obsessed with reptiles so I spent about 4 hours in there going back on fourth looking at their animals. All in all I was really happy with this place its super educational and theres an opportunity for you to get hands-on with the animals. There was the odd animal that I felt their cage was a little bit too small but those animals are generally for sale so Im assuming that they dont plan on having them in that enclosure for too long. apart from that that I cant wait to go back

We really enjoy this place I highly recommend it

This was so awesome!!! We stumbled onto this place thanks to Google maps and were so glad we did. We spent more time here than we did at several other zoos we went to on our 10-day road trip.The staff were nice and helpful, the animals were incredible!! Some enclosures seemed small, especially for giant tortoises, but everything was very clean.They also had cool fossils and rocks for sale, and as a pet store (for reptiles), the selection couldnt be beat. I cant say much about the prices, because being from Hawaii were not in the market to buy lizards, but the cost to get into the zoo was well WELL worth it.

This is my second visit to this place. Didnt go back in to see the crocodiles (theres an entrance fee if you want to go to that section, its great, if you havent been in there, you should!!!!!). We just stayed in the front area and fed the turtles! Donation of $2 to get a small container of worms! This was fun!!!!

It was really clean and because its in a strip mall I was nervous about how well the animals would be taken care of. Honestly though, everyone there was super friendly and knowledgeable about reptiles and arachnids. I will go again :)

This place is a hidden gem in OC. They have a great variety of reptiles to see and can even help feed some.

I’ve been wanting to go to The Reptile zoo for about a year or so and finally got to go! It was everything I imagined it to be.

Awesome little place to take the kids. Went on a Sunday afternoon and was not too busy. They have a wide variety reptiles, some of which I couldnt believe they had. Will definitely be going back.

We love the reptile zoo.... Great for outings with littles and their siblings. You can feed some of the animals and hold some, we love visiting Pearl and holding her..

This was my first time going to the reptile zoo. This place is huge, they have so many different types of reptiles, we were here for a couple of hours studying all different the different types of creatures. It was fun to see a few rattlesnakes eating rays. My kids also had a chance to hold an albino boa constrictor, they loved it, they still are looking at the pictures of them holding that snake.

Nice place for go with kids and grandchildren;)

This was our second trip to the reptile zoo... It had been a few years since our first trip and we were reminded just how awesome this place is. It was such a cool experience and our little ones absolutely loved it!Highly recommended if you have any interest at all in reptiles or if you have kids that like snakes, turtles, lizards and more.

They have quite a collection of reptiles. It was smaller than I expected but bigger than mentioned in the reviews. Loved that my 7 year old was able to hold a tarantula and pet a bearded dragon and snake. He had fun feeding the giant tortoises as well

Loved it .. if you like reptiles you can spend hours here

Awesome place to visita with the family

The staff was great and knowledgeable. Its way bigger inside than it looks.

Great experience. We attended a Birthday party there and the staff were very attentive. Our daughter had a blast. The only reason I am not giving it a 5 star its because it was way too hot inside and had to step outside a few times to catch our breath.

Great place for kids and their families to meet and greet exotic animals and learn all about them. It teaches children to appreciate these animals, understand them, and not fear them.

Went to a birthday party here and it was pretty cool! Both adults and kids loved the presentation and walking around the zoo.

Decided to swing by since I was in the area (coming from Los Angeles). Was very disappointed to see ants going in and out of tarantula and reptile enclosures. I notified one of the workers there and their response was oh yeah we know but we dont know what to do to stop it seriously??!! Ive got several several tarantulas myself and have delt with having to either rehouse or change out substrate to insure the safety of them due to the same issue and unfortunately I have lost one because of it . So to hear that kind of response was really a downer.

Nice staff. Can seem a little overwhelming for them to manage the store, entertain guests in the indoor zoo, and welcome customers (non-existent). Restrooms are in the zoo, even if you didnt buy any tickets (theyre quite strict on this). Supervision/staff accessibility seems minimal most of the time. They did bring a python out for pictures and let everyone else pet it, which was cool. Smaller reptiles were handed out to pet as well. Expect to be there for a couple of hours to get the most out of your time.

I love this place, everyone is very friendly. Lots of reptiles. Very interactive. Jay is always so positive and full of energy.

My 2 year old and my 6 year old loved it. Very professional staff, clean facilities and many different types of amazing reptiles.

$15 to enter and see a bunch of neglected animals is a RIP-off. They have monitors on wood chips with a tiny weak bulb for heat. Save your money and go to a REAL zoo.

Cool place to check out a variety of turtles, snakes, and other small and big reptiles. This place also sells animals and animal food. You can also feed the turtles if u want and take a pic with a python. The 5 dollar donation/admission is pretty reasonable, specially for the amount of animals they have there. Definitely worth checking this place out.

Great place to take your kids! My 3y old learned alot about different reptiles with hands on experience. Ages 3 and below are FREE which was great

Although it can get very hot in there with all of the heat lamps, theres so much to see, the kids loved it!Laura was very accommodating for our party and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Mike has an amazing knowledge with the animals and put on an amazing show for our party!

Fun place to see a bunch of different reptiles!

A bit pricy if youre on a tight budget but aside from that my teens loved it!! They got to interact with and animals and were there for over an hour took videos and pics. Be ready to bring some extra cash to feed the animals and if you want to take a pic with the big snake$8.00 with your own phone and $12.00 for a digital print pic. Feeding the turtles was about $3.25 for a little dish of live worms for the turtles and the same thing to feed the giant tortoise inside the little zoo. It stays open late and yes you can step in and out with your wrist band. $10.00 for adults 11yrs and up. Kids are about$8.00 and toddlers are free. If i recall correctly. Hope this helps.

We came here for a birthday party and my kids had a great time and loved touching all the different reptile

Lots of hands on opportunities to get close to the animals! Definitely feed the turtles.

Theyve expanded and are so much bigger than you would think from looking at the outside! Its pretty warm inside to keep the animals happy, so skip the sweater. We enjoyed spending several hours here with the kids. The animals seemed friendly and healthy, as were the staff. Haha! :)

Its great you get to take pictures of all kinds of reptiles you get to feed turtles and the best part you get to take a picture with as snake hold a lizard a geco and a little ball python there so cute! Hope you enjoy your visit!

Did not like the scene I had too see.There were over a hundred turtles in a far too small poud that offer you to feed them, but I watched a big turtle shred a smaller turtles neck as there was too many in sure a small enclosure.Too much competition and too little space for the poor turtle to eat as turtles of all sizes were in that pond.

This place is free to the public to see their water turtles, tortoises & other small reptiles. You can pay an additional fee & will be allowed into the back area to see bigger & more reptiles. You can also have your children feed certain animals for a small amount. I took my 7 year old grandson, from Indiana. He loved everything. Very exciting.

This is a great place to spend the afternoon. They have tons of cool reptiles to see.

Great plave for kids i loved it

This place is awsome. Great for the kids.

I had no idea that this place existed near my house! I only found out about this place from Instagram. I saw videos of one of their keepers handling big boa constrictors and pythons. I was really interested in this place so I googled it and found that there was a deal on Groupon for admission to their zoo as well as a photo with one of their boa constrictors! when I got there it looks like a little pet store but once you get in there is so many snakes spiders reptiles everything you can think of. For just $3 you can feed either land turtles or sea turtles which I highly recommend. This place is definitely worth taking your little ones or maybe someone who really loves reptiles.

Love this. Staff is always friendly. Baby loved feeding the turtles. Got to hold a snake

A great experience for the kids. Cant believe how many animals are there.

Amazing. Definitely loved it.

I bought a 5 month old bearded dragon she is so healthy and eating so much she is through molting right now. I love this place!!!

I was heartbroken to see how the animals have to live. Their enclosures are way too small for some of their sizes. There’s also a pond at the front with a hundred or so turtles and it’s entirely too cramped of a space. There’s a breeding room where huge snakes are confined to tiny little boxes with no plants or rocks. Way too many animals for this small of a building. I can’t imagine they’re all being taken care of properly.

Great place to visit together with your kuds and Family for reptiles education and learning..

An absolute amazing place to bring kids here in Orange County. Nothing like it anywhere around locally for sure. It has been there forever and always seems to get new exhibits and new reptiles for everyone to enjoy. Jay has an amazing Instagram following with some amazing videos on it that are extremely educational for anybody who watches. The staff at the store is also very informative and always Pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend going and taking a look even if you dont have kids but more so if you do, you wont regret it.

Great place for kids and interactive birthday parties

Daughters love coming here. Nice price for the exhibit. They get to hold geckos, lizards, and pythons. Lots of lizards,snakes, reptiles to look at.

This place is awesome! Fun and very informative.

Super fun and the staff is very polite and helpful.

Was a pretty cool place to visit with my 4 year old. There is so much to see, you wouldnt believe how much they have fit in there.Worth it to feed the giant turtles at the back! Can buy a ticket for all day so come in the morning go and have lunch then come back in the afternoon!

Really awesome place if you love reptiles alott of hands on really awesome people alot with alot knowledge guaranteed you will have fun

Wow, what a collection of reptiles. Nice,clean, zoo grade type enclosures. If you have any interest in Reptiles this is a great stop. Very large snake on display and staff said many more snakes in back and not on display. Some of the creatures, reptiles, frogs, spiders came here as rescues so its nice to see they have a home. Price is reasonable for the size of the large collection.

Very Interesting. Enjoyed seeing all the different reptiles.

Excellent experience! Thank you Christopher! We had a blast learning and hanging out with you and the reptiles!

Super fun! Definitely check out the tortoises and turtles in the back. Dont spend all your feed on the front ones.

This place was amazing! We got to feed the turtles hold snakes and a gecko it was a great experience for the whole family and my 3 year old got to hold a snake and he was super excited about that!

Awsome place to different reptile. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. One of my favorite places to visit

They have cool stuff but I was really heart broken to see how they cleaned the windows and sprayed them with the animals inside. They use windex and Im sure the reptiles dont like that. They spay the windows while the animals are inside and clean them with a towel attached to a broom. They hit the animals as they are doing this and move them harshly out of the way to get the other side clean. So sad. Will never support them or visit the store again. That is no way to treat the animals and there are natural products you can use to keep the animals safe.

Cool place to go, cheap prices, you can feed tortoise, and water turtles. I didnt like how they were all over the place and I feel like they were understaffed, if you have questions about some of the reptiles its hard to get someone to talk to. Overall a cool place to go.

Really educational place and impressive reptiles, huge ones no kidding

This was a very fun experience there is a lot of iguanas and moniters and other cool reptiles. If you are afraid of spiders be aware there is a few spider exhibits.

Really amazing to see many exotic animals, I had a great time

We had so much fun at my daughters friends birthday party. They did a really nice job with the reptile presentation. The kids loved it! I highly recommend coming here. Especially if the kids are 10 and younger.

Awesome place with everything you can imagine. If your kids like reptiles, your place is for you. Feeding turtles and tortoises are a reasonable price and really fun for kids and adults.

I tried calling multiple times to inquire about a product they should carry. The phone line cuts in and out; you cant understand what the recording is saying. Sends you strait to voicemail afterwards. Do not drive here hoping for product to be in stock. They cant answer the phone.

This an amazing place! Big name zoos have maybe 30 species of reptiles. This zoo in a small mall has over 100 species. They breed lizards and snakes. Many eggs are incubating and you can see them. Have you seen a python egg before? There will be a lot of hatching in April. Im so glad Google Maps suggested this Reptile Zoo as a place to visit.

Fun place for reptile lovers and kids friendly.

Imagine a yellow python draped around your neck. The kids loved feeding the turtles and tortoises. There lots of reptiles I didnt know existed. Plenty of photo ops. The youngish staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Here for grandkid Birthday party. Outstanding and large variety of reptiles from skinks to alligators. Recommended. But be prepared for the odors.

This place is unique, and they have a ton of animals not expected. We were there for a birthday and the 1 hour show, touching more than 6 animals (snakes, turtles, tarantulas, giant frogs, ...) was great for the kids. We had a good time!

It was great, didnt know this place was even here. Do not regret going and seeing all they have to offer. Interesting place to visit, especially if you have kids.

Very fun and interesting place. Gets a little crowded. They seem to be a bit understaffed, thus unfriendly staff.Maybe a little expensive, but we enjoyed it. Probably wont return due to the price

A lot of cool reptiles. Clean and well organized facility. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. There is also plenty of free parking.
