I saw a truck on the Parkway with an advertisement so decided to stop in. If you like reptiles, this is your place! ;) It also had lots of other animals - goats, llamas, birds, tortoises and of course monkeys. The animals were playful as the temps were not too hot. It was a nice place to stop and walk around to visit the animals. I enjoyed the guinea pig pen LOL Of course, I had to buy some food to feed the goats! they were very friendly when I had food! LOL I recommend you stop in and the kids will enjoy the visit.

Don't believe the internet! They don't have as many things as it promotes. Most of the things can be seen at a pet store. People working there were super nice! Surprise was porcupines and a sloth and a huge group of Guinea pigs (not listed on the internet). You can have a sloth interaction for additional fee. Just meh.

Jungle Jim was amazing! He really involved the whole crowd for the animal show and made it so much fun! (Even for my 14m daughter that wanted to touch everything!) All the animals were awesome to see and we got to see some that our local zoos don’t have. The entire staff was welcoming and helped make it a place we will visit every trip for sure!

This place was awesome! There were so many different kinds of exotic animals! They had reptiles (snakes, lizards, tortoises, skinks), frogs, monkeys, exotic birds, spiders, lemurs, and even a sloth! You could also buy a bag of food and feed the goats, llamas, and emus. We spent about two hours here. Highly recommend!
