If your kids are more interested in snakes and lizards than ponies, the Kentucky Reptile Zoo is the place to go. More than 75 species of reptiles call the zoo home, including turtles, alligators, and lizards, but most of the reptiles you'll find here are venomous snakes. A tour guide leads visitors through the zoo's various buildings, introducing the different reptiles and answering questions, and the tour typically takes between 30 and 45 minutes. Hours of operation vary according to the season, but when the zoo is open, venom extraction demonstrations and reptile talks are held daily.
