Hi guys. This is a great place, a reptile sanctuary for I believe mainly illegal animals or badly treated animals or confiscated animals that they have saved. Animals confiscated at the airport of Amsterdam. Plenty of different species, you could spend a good few hours walking around. So I did with my grandchildren. The zoo is located in a former school. A school for catholic girls. The school was initiated in 1908 by the dean of Middelburg. The displays wind their way round this sprawling building with a truly impressive collection of rescued reptiles that either cannot be released or are staying there until they can be released. The reticulated Python one of the worlds biggest snakes was worth the entry fee alone. Other snakes both large and small, iguana’s, lizards, tortoises, spiders, scorpions and a wide range of other insects and reptiles are all there to see in large and spacious enclosures. Interesting, informative and entertaining. There is a questionnaire next to every display. My grandchildren liked it a lot. Regards Schliek.…

He also said that they do send the reptiles back to their natural environment which is obviously great, just expensive for them. This is a must go to!!…

The volunteers there were extremely interesting and knowlegeable and were eager to answer our questions. We found the visit absolutely fascinating and learned a lot. It was good to see that these reptiles, which had been previously mistreated, are now well looked after.…

Large collection of interesting animals. Some of them very up close. A big plus is that they rescue the reptiles from illegal ownership or the streets.
