Lots of reptiles in such a small spot. Our kids loved it. Also loved education and petting time.
I took my son and a couple of his friends for his 10th birthday celebration. We drove 3 hours to spend an hour and a half viewing all the amazing creatures they had. They said it was worth the long drive! Every display except for maybe one or two had an animal in it. There was a two headed turtle and an albino alligator. Not something you see everyday. Their animals are surely well cared for.Sundays are discounted prices and very affordable! $24 for one adult and three kids. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Well definitely return :)
Pleasantly surprised! All reptiles had clean enclosures, lots to look at for the kids. Each had a little fact sheet with map for the kids to compare.
Super fun, clean and lots of reptiles to see. The Reptile Man was really informative and friendly, the kids loved him and his reptiles
My toddler watches a lot of Wild Kratts on PBS and so is familiar with lizards, snakes, and other reptiles. This makes this zoo fun for him and he enjoyed looking at the different creatures, learning their names, and what they ate. Plenty of info about the animals for adults to read and learn too.If you can, go on a Sunday for discounted tickets. Entrance fee is good for the whole day so you can go in and out after ticket purchase until closing. There is a barbecue food truck outside if youre hungry, and an Apple supermarket nearby for other food purchases.Restrooms are clean and plenty of dirt parking.
Great place to bring kids. They lo es it in there.
Ive gone here over the years. Its nice to see additions and updates they have made to enclosures. I do wish they would have more space for the Gators and anaconda. However, everyone looks healthy a d cared for. The staff yesterday wasnt very interactive to the guests like they usually are. They were busy chatting with each other. People come there out of curiosity of exotic and otherwise scary animals. It would be nice if someone were always on the floor answering all the questioned I heard people asking aloud. Still, I love the place, and always will.
Fun experience. Good price
Educational, fun, hands-on... kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt and seeing such a variety of well-cared for animals. The employees were very good with kids, and had lots of great info to share. The two-headed turtle was a big hit!
Very fun & informative...there was plenty to see, the gift shop is not overpriced, the kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt & the BBQ place in the parking lot was a perfect compliment to our visit! Good value & we had lots of fun...cant wait to go again!
Great grandma (my mom) took my grand children, 9 and 11 years, and myself to see the reptiles and we had an awesome time! Great place for people who love reptiles!
Our kids enjoyed a lot the Reptile zoo! It is small but they have a lot of species and we had a great day learning and looking the reptiles there. The kids didn’t want to leave.
Dont just drive by (unless youre afraid of snakes!)! Great place to stop with kids.
I loved it! Lots of reptiles! Some Ive never seen before.
Nice reptile zoo for kids and adults, they have a very decent amount of reptiles and lots of information about them.We saw at least 30 animals, more than 5 types of snakes, two crocodiles, turtles, different types of iguanas and other animal we didnt even know they existed.They also let you interact, wthsome of the animal which I find very neat.Staff were super friendly.Great place for field trips.I really recommend this place.
This place is awesome! We paid $24 for 2 adults, a toddler, and an infant so the prices are pretty fair. The kids can pet huge turtles, and they exhibit the worlds top 10 deadliest snakes. Theirs also a giftshop for visitors, and you can do a scavenger hunt while youre there and get prizes for the kids. The care takers are really nice too.
Loved it! The staff is very knowledgeable the little critters are really darn cute too.
This place was fun theres not a whole lot to do out here but it was fun to trek out there one day. They have a ton of cool reptiles. I saw too alligators and the turtles were awesome to see. The snakes were big. We skipped the spider section.
Amazing place. Small and perfect. The animals seem well taken care of. A cage is a cage and that sucks, but they seem healthy. Worth the cost for sure. Dont get the barbecue in the parking lot though, its way over priced for what you get. Tried 2 times and then gave up. But the reptile zoo is amazing!
This place is a blast! It is not a huge complex but they have so many cool things. My entire family was in awe by the huge alligators and various reptiles, not just the usual turtles and snakes! They also have a truck that brings reptiles to show off at birthday parties and more!
Attraction on the side of the road that is worth going to. You can pet the shells of turtles. Multiple reptiles on display including the top deadliest snakes. Cannot forget to mention the two headed turtle that is within. Two large Gators you can get close to as well. Staff was cheerful, informative and friendly.
Fun for all ages! Reasonably priced. Plenty of reptiles to see and some to touch. Be sure to go around 11am-1pm for petting and watching the reptiles eat!
Hands down one of my top and favorite zoos ️️️️️️ they got so much reptiles and have nice enclosures We did witness the Komodo falling off his little basking area, they need more support and safety to be honest. But besides that the workers are friendly, knowledgeable & also willing to let you pet some animals. They had a albino alligator that’s super gorgeous but lazy lol. And a two headed turtle that’s still alive ️
Brought my nephew here because he loves dinosaurs. Its pretty warm in there so just be prepared for that. But its clean and the animals have a lot of room. We had a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend going. I went here a couple years ago and it was completely different, worse in fact. Theyve stepped up a lot to make the animals happy and I appreciate that as much as the animals!
Really enjoyed our visit here.If you have been here but it was before 2013 or so, you need to visit again. They have improved it greatly!Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly staff.So many fascinating creatures to see.Open 10am - 6pm, everyday except Thanksgiving and Christmas.Located on Highway 2 in Monroe.
I loved our visit! We were able to get a closer look at the animals in their enclosures than you would in any other zoo. I enjoyed the fun facts on each animal along with the info on where they live in the world and what they eat. We will definitely go again!
Great place to learn more about reptiles. They had interesting facts about the reptiles that we were looking at. They had time where you can pet the animals afterwards. They had free parking. Coffee stand and Bbq food truck in the parking area. Great place for kids and adults. The gift shop had reasonably price toys.
Super cool zoo with a wide variety of awesome reptiles. The staff were so helpful and knowledgeable too. Kylie was a great teacher telling us about their animals.
Great rainy day diversion. Staff super friendly and accessible. Best for well-behaved calm kids who probably already enjoy watching Nat Geo.
Super fun the kids loved it and so did I,
The animals were all lively and seemed to have fun. The staff were friendly too.
For $10 this is a great place to spend a rainy, cold afternoon. The snakes and lizards are so beautiful and the bio cards on each enclosure are very informative. It would be a great learning experience for kids.And if you wait around for show time, you may just get to pet Rocko, the 18yr old iguana (not pictured unfortunately, I was too busy petting him to take any glamour shots).
Very fun! Spent almost 3 hours here! Lots of reptiles and the kids had a great time!
Fantastic adventure! They have a huge variety of reptiles that are easy to see and the enclosures are very clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
My boys really enjoyed this place. Dont miss the two headed turtle.
Though the reptiles are really cool the place isnt really a zoo. All enclosures are glass aquariums. I honestly felt that I was walking around a pet store instead of a zoo. To be fair, the enclosures and animals seemed well kept but the building itself felt more like a warehouse with cages in it.The gift shop and store front is really small. There are doors to the left and right after you pay admission and both are for meandering through. Plenty of parking.During your visit there are designated times where the keepers go around feeding/cleaning the animals and you can learn more about them and ask questions. Great learning experience for the inquisitive child.There are some great photo ops here as well when the reptiles get up close to the glass.There is a flimsy and discreet posted sign that states that all the venomous reptiles have been surgically de-venomized.
Animals are very well-cared-for and enclosures were great considering the limited size.
We ended up going here the day after we got engaged, and it was so nice! Most of the animals are rescues, and the staff is super kind, ready to answer any questions you have. Its definitely worth stopping in and checking out! Rocky is beautiful and sweet, and the albino alligator is breathtaking.
Great place to stop at on your way over the pass, or on the way back. We enjoyed the exotic reptiles. Good learning experience. The staff lady was very informative. The 3 stars is because of the fee. (I understand its for a good cause) but a family of 4 could have lunch or dinner for the price of admission.
Great place to take the kids
Animal encounters are great for adventurous young children. You get to hold different kinds of snakes and reptiles. See all of the worlds most venomous snakes here. Toys in the gift shop are very reasonably priced! One could say almost a bargain compared to other stores (and online).
Always fun to take the kids there.
Surprisingly fun and we really enjoyed it
Worth every penny of the very reasonable entry fee. Knowledgeable, friendly staff, well maintained enclosures and great info placards for each display. Spent an hour and will be back to spend many more. My Autistic teenager says the noise level, lighting and temperature were all at perfect levels for them from a sensory input standpoint.
Really incredible creatures. Nice way to spend an hour or two with the family!
My son had a blast even though we were unable to pet the tortoises due to covid.
Very cool place with several awesome reptiles! We arrived right before the live show and we all got to pet their huge lizard. Got to see several of the worlds deadliest snakes, a few alligators and a double headed turtle. Took my neice and 3 nephews, and my gf and her daughter. Everyone had a blast! About an hour of fun, knowledge and entertainment.
Cool variety of animals, staff is friendly.
It was hot and smelly. Nice place to visit once.
Had a great time at the reptile zoo! Staff was very nice and polite and also very knowledgeable about the different species of reptiles. They had several hands on exhibits and a show for children.
Its fine, it has little variety of reptile, but its nice.
So many cool animals to see.
Great place to see a wide variety of reptiles and learn about them general. Feeding time is a good time to be there to see the animals get fed and also hear from the zookeepers various fascinating tidbits about the animals there,
Its a nice cozy place for kids. Its not big by any means so dont expect to much. We did go at feeding time which was a lot of fun so i recommend calling ahead to find out when that is before you go.
Fun time. Knowledgeable hosts. Definitely worth their visit
Love the huge variaty and how well cared for the animals are. Such an amazing zoo.
This place is cool and my kids loved it. They had a bit of a show and tell where kids can touch some of the reptiles so check what times they are doing that before you go. Just a heads up it is hot and humid in the building so dont dress for winter or you will be dying.
Go there! Its awesome! So many reptiles and creepy bugs that I like! Definitley fun for kids of all ages.
We love this place! My kids and I spent at least 3 hours in there checking out all the amazing reptiles. If you can go there for the feeding show, I recommend it. Watching all of them eat is cool, but they finish with the big alligator, which is awesome to see.
Fun, informative, the staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable! The reptiles we saw were well cared for. Great place to visit, we learned so much about these fascinating creatures!
Many different snakes, tortoises, alligators, spiders, and lizards. Were were able to pet a large python. Excellent experience for the price!
I had an amazing time. Id recommend to everyone! Its a great place for kids and families and the hands on experiences were fabulous. Ill be going there a whole lot.
Great place to learn and experience lots of fascinating facts about reptiles. Chances to pet or handle them. Was really fun and worth the low cost. No lines.
If I could give 100 stars I would! We asked Isaac to come to our home for our sons birthday party. He did amazing! Patient with all the crazy kids, very knowledgeable, and extremely polite. He brought 11 reptiles with him and everyone was able to hold/touch 4. I would recommend to anyone I could! Very reasonably priced for the amount and experience. I couldnt say enough great things!
The staff seem to really care about the animals and they seem well cared for. Dress for a hot, humid, environment such as you would expect that tropical creatures live in. There is also a distinctive animal smell that I would say is expected but many people found to be strong. If youve been in an animal barn at the fair and tolerated it without concern, then you should have no problem. If you are overpowered by strong smells or a migraine sufferer with a smell trigger you may want to skip this expedition. The exhibits and pathways are well maintained and clean. There is a vast array of reptile life, including some mating tortoises. If you love reptiles, you will not be disappointed.
Excellent zoo and facilities with well cared for animals, professional staff, as well as educational and interactive programs and events. Always a pleasure to visit. Great for kids.
Great place to visit and see cool reptiles
Super fun. They have so many varieties of reptiles.
We loved it! It was so educational and a great experience!
Pretty neat layout with lots of different reptiles. Make sure to take lots of breaks outside, its very humid inside.
Cant even express how great of a place this is. Reasonably priced (Id even say cheap) with lots of reptiles to look at and read about. All the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, you can really tell they love their job. Clean environment where all the animals are well cared for and loved. Season pass is a great deal, love just coming here to relax, or even go to one of the many events they run a month. The whole place feels like a passion project, wish there was more places like this.
Great date site. Employees were very friendly and helpful. Answered a lot of small questions I had.
What a unique place. I lived in Florida for quite some time, so I’m somewhat used to reptile exhibits, but they are few and far between elsewhere. The staff here are kind and knowledgeable. The live petting presentation was really neat. I enjoyed how the handler could educate and amuse people of all ages. They were particularly well suited for speaking to children, and educating them on being safe and respectful of nature. If you’ve never been to a reptile exhibit, or crave a zoo experience closer to home than Seattle, I’d say give this place a try. The set up is more akin to a pet shop rather than a zoo. Small enclosures built on top of and next to each other. No fake rock walls or special mood lighting. Strictly utilitarian for the most part.
As schoolbus driver I drove schoolkids here for field trips. Reptiles usually docile; poison glands removed. Son had picture holding a Black Mamba. Had 350# Snapping Turtles and 20 long Anacondas.
What a fun place with absolutely beautiful reptiles! Get up close to the worlds most dangerous snakes! Fun for ALL ages!
Very large and acleptic collection with informative signs
Up close experience with reptiles. Knowledgeable staffs
The grandkids loved it. Lots of snakes, lizards, turtles and gators.At the top of the hour was a reptile encounter. The kids got to hold some big lizards.
Great place and great staff. The kids love coming here.
I dont care for reptiles but we went because my niece wanted to see an albino alligator in person. The price of admission is extremely fair for the close up experience you get with an array of reptiles. It looks very small but they utilize the space well and have a great variety of animals to see. The staff was friendly and even let visitors touch a few of the reptiles. My only complaint was the smell, but that is to be expected of such a place. If you are in the area and have family members that love reptiles this place is definitely worth checking out.
Both of my boys loved this place. My younger son who is 15 months old enjoyed it even more than my 4 year old. We had fun exploring both sides of the zoo and going back and forth to explore all the reptiles. I loved that my kids could roam freely with me shortly behind without having to worry about them.
Such a lovely place to go especially with your kids. We saw it on our way to Stevens Pass, marked it up and went there when we were free. Entrance fee is 9 dollars each adult. They have super active lizards and snakes, I can tell that animals are very well taken care of. They started feeding animals that day at around 1pm and we luckily watched it. The whole experience was great and exciting.
They have all kind of reptiles
We had a good time, staff was friendly and helpful.$20 for 2 adults and 2 kids for an hour of entertainment and learning about reptiles seems fair.At the end of the day my kids for to help carrying the tortoises inside :)
Super fun, perfect length, lots of great learning !!
We love this place but the heat was overwhelming ! I will be better dressed with a gallon of water for my family.
Great day out activity with little ones! Really interesting things to look at and lots of info to learn more about reptiles!
Much better than I expected, given the size. Excellent expert commentary around the 11am show as well.
Fun place, more worth it if you catch the show. The kids can pet an iguana at the end. Good price, but dont expect to spend a large chunk of time there.
Has gotten better over the years :)
This place is awesome! They have some beautiful & unique reptiles like 2 full grown American Alligators, a Black Mamba snake, a full grown Alligator Snapping turtle, huge rattlesnakes, etc. I like the Woodland Park & Point Defiance zoos, but this place definitely has a lot that they dont! Been 2x & will go again.
It was a long drive for us but I didnt feel cheated. Me and my girls loved seeing all the reptiles! They looked healthy and well cared for. We also got some great purchases in the gift shop.
Had a fun time. Took wife and two kids on a Sunday for $25 total. Nice assortment of reptiles to see. Especially snakes, iguanas, monitor lizards, a couple alligators and more. Doesnt have to take long to go through, but a decent amount to see and stay for if you want. Staff was friendly and free parking right outside.
It was great
This place is amazing. Very friendly staff. They are very patient and sweet with my 2 yr old granddaughter.
