If you have a love for Reptiles, then this should definitely be a stop on the next trip you make to the GTA. With about 200 different species on display, you’ll find rare and exciting reptiles and amphibians, including the giants and an impressive venomous collection. Within the zoo you’ll find the longest reticulated python, longest venomous snake (King Cobra) and largest crocodilian (Nile Croc) currently kept in Canada.
However you have to love this place for more than just their outstanding collection. View one of the four daily feedings, or watch some of the six daily interactive shows.
Reptilia does a lot more than that though, they give you the opportunity to get involved and experience hands-on interaction with the animals through many different avenues. They do birthday parties, zoo tours, curriculum compliant programs for schools, day camps, and even the junior keepers program to teach future reptile pet owners the basics of caring for their pets properly.
With the vast variety of beautifully crafted exhibits, and all the activity going on, you won’t find it hard to spend the entire day at the zoo, and it won’t be wasted!
Additionally, Reptilia has an amazing gift shop and pet store.It is packed with rare animals from breeders, as well as animals produced right at the zoo. They have all the supplies you could imagine needing. One of my favorite aspects of the store, is that along with selling exoterra and other name brand reptile products, they also sell great alternatives for cheaper prices, such as crock water bowls and planter feeder dishes, so you can set up your animals home just the way you want it, for the price you want to pay!
If you love your hobby, you won’t want to miss this place! Check it out at Reptilia.org.
