    We had a great visit to the reptile zoo today! Happy they were open on Presidents' Day. The enclosures seem to be kept clean, and the reptiles seem well cared for. The staff member was very friendly, admission prices were very reasonable and so was the merch in the gift shop! Fun way to spend the afternoon, my 13 and 6 year old thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the addition of the kids play loft too, lets them wear off some energy before leaving!

    Stopped here on a whim and had a blast! At 5pm there's a show where they feed the snakes, lizards and crocodile!! Very kid friendly as well.

    We love the reptile zoo. My son, now ten, and I have been going ever since he was a toddler on random days off from school. We always make a day out of it - lunch and reptiles. The staff is friendly and helpful and I love that the animals appear satisfied and well taken care of. We have so many fond memories (and pictures) of us with snakes and him with his various alligator stuffies along side the real alligators. Pete and Repete (the two headed turtle) is one of our favs. I love that this place is around and helps to take care of these animals, and it is definitely worth stopping in and visiting if you have the time.

    This place was great. Super reasonable pricing, helpful staff, a gift shop that isn't super hiked up and only $3 extra on weekend to touch a massive python and alligator. 4 year old had the time of his life and it only took us around an hour. Will be back - great work team!

    The best place for a fun date! Takes about an hour to get through all the animals. But you're able to be there for as long as you'd like. There's a small admission fee. Under $20 dollars. I have been coming here since I was little and I always have the best time getting to look at the animals, and reading and learning about them. They are always rescuing new animals and even have had the same ones since they have been open. They even do petting hours sometimes, we were lucky enough and got to pet a snake while we were there! They also have some animals you can adopt there. This place is so fun!

    I understand the animals in this place require a warm, humid climate but it definitely caught me off guard and hit me like a freight train when we walked in. It was so fun and everyone was still talking about it on the long drive home. We saw species we'd only heard about or saw in movies. Super educational and something 'different' to do with the family. The owner was super nice and you could tell his reptiles are his passion by the way he answered questions. He wanted to educate. Would definitely recommend for any family and the extra $3 to pet the snake and alligator are worth the money.

    I personally don't like reptiles, other than turtles. It was a safe and fun experience for my kids, especially during a pandemic right now. Everyone had mask one, well most. There was a few customers who didn't fully cover up their nose. We came on a Sunday and there wasn't any hands on feeding or experience that day, other day petting the smaller tortoise outside, which my kids loved. The zoo had sanitizers in few spots, where people can wash their hands after touching the reptiles. The "zoo" was a bit small but had a lot of good reptiles, from albino alligator to a 2 head turtle and top 10 deadliest snakes. It's a cool visit if you've never been here before. Adults are about $9 each and kids are $7.

    What a cool little spot my boys picked. I thought it was awesome to see the reptiles and there was some awesome learning information on each of the animals. It was a safe and fun experience for my kiddo and that matters big time. The zoo was spaced out and there were directions on maneuvering around. The turtles were incredible, loved the interactions we could have with them. Top deadliest snakes and an albino alligator? Also the two headed turtle, whattttt? SO COOL!

    I visited on a Monday morning. The place is fairly small, I was quite surprised. I guess when I think about zoo I had only big zoos to compare to. You can expect for it to be muggy & humid inside. I would have preferred to visit in the winter. I walked around sweating. Also, on that day there were so many little kids from a school/day care/camp. Who knows but there were waaaay to many little kids for the space. I cant even imagine how busy weekends might be in there. It was awesome to see all the reptiles they have & to have been able to pet the turtles. Although, I will say their website was a bit misleading. They only do petting on certain days & can be subjected to change. Not all reptiles were out on that day. & for being a small place & not have all reptiles out was bit disappointing. I did the scavenger hun they have which could be fun for kids. At the end they get a reptile post card They have a small store with toys/ snacks & more. I was there for a total of 45min. & i walked out drenched in sweat! Maybe wear a swim suit if you visit during the summer. If youre in the area maybe stop by. But if you are traveling from far (like me) I wouldnt recommend. Unless youre a die hard reptile lover. The only pictures I got due to all the children hugging the windows.

    We took our 5+3 yo boys - they loved it. We planned for 90 mins and came out just under that. It allowed plenty of time to stare and go back to the favs. We got there right in time to pet the alligator and python - a big hit with our older one. Plenty of hand sanitizer and clean bathrooms were a plus for me.

    The kids loved this place. It was pretty dirty and the glass to see into the exhibits was filthy. Only taking 1 star away because I know how hard it is to find employees these days.

    That's Lucy!

    What a cool place! I've taken my daughter here many times. Where else you going to see the top ten deadliest snakes and then hold an alligator!!

    Good customer service a variety of snakes. Would love to see bigger space for the animals, but also learn they help to rescue animals.

    I love that the animals' names are clearly displayed, Pete and Repete were perfect names for the two-headed turtle

    It was one of those random Saturdays where you just want to get the kids out of the house, so we…read moredecided to head to the zoo. We didn't get lucky with everything--the lion was taking a nap and completely out of sight--but honestly, that's part of the experience. The kids still had a great time seeing the giraffes and exploring the other exhibits. What really made our visit stand out was a small moment that turned into something special. We stopped by the VR area near the carousel and met Catherine, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. She asked what we wanted to watch, and my daughter ended up chatting with her and mentioned her birthday was coming up. Out of nowhere, Catherine surprised us with a couple of carousel passes and a little birthday clip. It completely made my daughter's day--you could see how excited she was, and that kind of genuine kindness sticks with you. We come here pretty often during the summer since we're members, and experiences like this are exactly why we keep coming back. The staff really goes the extra mile. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to add more hand sanitizer stations, especially around the food areas and restrooms. It would just make things a bit more convenient for families. Overall, we love this place and appreciate the effort they put into both the animals and the guest experience. Looking forward to many more visits.

The lanterns are spaced out well, so it never feels crowded or rushed, and there's a nice rhythm to the walk where you naturally slow down and take things in. Some sections feel calm and quiet, others are more colorful and playful, and it all flows really well along the zoo paths. I grabbed tacos from one of the food spots and a cappuccino from a coffee stand, which was exactly what I wanted on a cold evening. Simple, warm, and easy to enjoy while wandering. It's the kind of setup where you can snack, stroll, stop, and keep moving without breaking the mood. Overall, Wild Lanterns 2025 feels well thought out without being overdone. It works just as well for a relaxed solo walk as it does with friends or family, and it's one of the few seasonal events I'm genuinely happy to make a repeat tradition.
