Behind-the-Scenes Tours

A zoo professional will be your guide for this 30-minute tour, which includes access to the Reptiland nursery where you can see reptiles and amphibians that are part of our specialized breeding program.

You may see poison dart frog tadpoles, recently hatched species of geckos and lizards, or maybe eggs in incubation. Learn which animals are part of a Species Survival Plan and our role in these important conservation efforts.

Other species featured off-display may include (but are not limited to): juvenile king cobras, hatchling and juvenile geckos, poison dart frogs, dwarf crocodiles, juvenile green mambas, tarantulas, scorpions, and more. The tour also features our extensive venomous snake collection, and you may even get to see a cobra in the hooded posture! Experience what only zoo staff get to see with this one-of-a-kind tour.
