Being in the professional zoo industry I tend to have a much more critical eye when I visit other zoological facilities. Recently, I had the good fortune to finally make a trek to the Kentucky Reptile Zoo and boy I couldn't have been more pleased with my visit! Jim and Kristen are two of the most knowledgable reptile people you... More

What a total rip off! First, you have to go into their store where they hope you will spend money buying stuff. They charge for adults to take their kids in, and admission was high. when they open the door to the room, you are standing in a room the size of a walk in closet with aqariums in there... More

I was on my way to the Natural Bridge and just happened to see a sign that said Serpentarium which piqued my interest. On the way back from the Natural Bridge we decided to see what the hours for the Zoo were and if we had time to go in. We had a half an hour and they said that... More

Snakes, Snakes, Snakes and more Snakes. With over 2,000 snakes this place is sure to leave you more knowledgeable about snakes and reptiles. A tour guide (usually a graduated Biology major from the University of Kentucky) takes you on a tour explaining the reptile information along the way. The tour can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending... More

A tour guide will take you through all the small houses and... More

My boys enjoyed the displays they had but some of the houses had a really foul odor.. Some staff is really pleasant and some are really dry...

I'm a little afraid of snakes but have a better understanding of their importance in this world. This is an incredible place. You can watch as the workers extract venom from some of the deadliest snakes on earth. This is the real thing. This is an important part of creating life-saving anti-venom for countries all over the world. Snakes play... More

Found the staff knowledgeable and many different species on display. Venom extractions we were told were at 1:00 pm and live reptile shows at 3 and 5. Saw the venom show and came back for 3 show without having to pay again. Price for adults without tax was $7.00 for adults and $4.00 for 15 and under 4 free. Fair... More
