Our extended family holiday included three boys aged 9-11, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed this little reptile park. We spent about an hour to see all the exhibits. When we first pulled up, we thought it might be closed or abandoned. It does not have a very fancy entrance. But we paid our fee and went inside. Inside is well maintained, with exhibits geared toward the natural environment of the animal(s) inside. There are benches sprinkled throughout, and some areas are under cover, which could provide shade or a dry spot during rain. As in most areas of Costa Rica, it is surrounded by naturally beautiful jungle, so you may view native birds and other wildlife, as well as the exhibit animals. We saw a wide variety of snakes, komodo dragon, monitor lizard, basilisk (Jesus Christ) lizard, crocodile, giant tortoise, water turtles. Each exhibit has a placard in both English and Spanish educating you about the species inside, their native habitat, whether or not they are endangered, and some information about them. The parents read the descriptions and the kids tended not to, but everybody had a good time.

A great place to learn about and see local and regional reptiles. The only complaint is the glass. It is very reflective, making it difficult to see inside the cages. As a side note, the bird life was fantastic. The grounds have a variety of flowers so there are lots of hummingbirds along with a diversity of other colorful birds. That was worth the money alone. We spent more time birding than looking at the exhibits. Bring your binoculars.

Best reptile park I've visited as the enclosures were created with careful thought to keeping the animals in a natural environment as possible. The grounds were beautifully kept with ample covered areas for a rainy or overly sunny day! We arrived at feeding time ... not for the faint-hearted!
