“Worn out”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 21, 2012

The combo ticket with Nairobi Museum results in a really brief sidetrip to a somewhat worn and tired exhibit of snakes. Although always a curiosity, the snakes were not particularly well housed or displayed, and the educational exhibits were lacking. But, as it is just a bit more to add this ticket to the much more impressive National Museum, it is worth the few steps and few minutes to do this.

Nothing really special to see, just a few snakes going about their business... there were also some dangerous spiders, crocodiles, tortoise, etc

“needs revamp”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2012

Some interesting reptiles, but the place itself is very run down and needs a revamp. only spent half an hour here as the place made us feel uncomfortable, especially seeing the some of the animals in what appeard to be cramped conditions, would not recommend.

“Sadly in need of money!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 10, 2012

Although there were some interesting animals/reptiles, the place was rather run down and looks as though it is struggling to keep going.

“Run down”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

Very poorly run, staff showed no interest in questions.
Open snake/Chameleon pit had no names. Snake exhibits were dirty and cramped very upsetting to see reptiles kept like this but it could be a funding issue. The Museum next door doesn't seem to suffer. Highlights were the birds seen there, Paradise Flycatchers and Sunbirds not the snakes which we really went to see.
