General Info

Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland is a specialized zoo that introduces visitors to the less-loved members of the animal kingdom in a safe, entertaining format. Explore the world of mambas, cobras, vipers, pythons and other rare and beautiful snakes. Giant alligators, gentle tortoises, curious lizards and colorful frogs also await discovery on this zoological adventure. An exciting multi-media show reveals the close-up world of reptiles on the big screen and live lecture demonstrations offer guests the chance to touch harmless specimens and speak with friendly experts.

Innovative interactive exhibits involve visitors in the learning experience; test your reptile knowledge with Lizard Wizard and Turtle Trivia or spin a zoetrope to discover how sidewinder rattlesnakes move across hot sand. Build a Gecko lets you customize your own gecko and Ask The Gecko Expert features a University scientist answering commonly asked questions about geckos.

Reptiland is truly a year-round attraction. The 6,500 square foot indoor exhibit gallery allows comfortable viewing of more than 40 species in recreated natural habitats. During summer months tortoises and aquatic turtles live in outdoor habitats. A visit to Reptiland explodes common myths and inspires scientific curiosity. This world-class specialized zoo offers an unparalleled educational adventure for the whole family!

The average Reptiland visit requires about 2 hours, but there is no limit to the length of a visit. The exhibits are self-guided, and it’s generally best to arrive just prior to a show.
