Reptile Gardens is a free-flowing animal park surrounded by exquisite botanical gardens that feature lush flowers and foliage from around the world.
Each exhibit is nestled among fragrant blooms, bright pops of color, koi ponds, and waterfalls. There are a number of attractions to choose from.
Guests may pan for gold at Rattlesnake Gulch, gawk at the garden’s 1,250 pound crocodile, interact with giant tortoises, and visit Prairie Dog Town. The Sky Dome features exotic botanicals, sculptures, lizards, and snakes. Live animal shows are scheduled throughout the day. A café and three gift shops are on the property.
