   It's a small place with quite a lot of animals to see. It wasn't easy to find where each one was in its tank, but enjoyable nonetheless. There were lizards, snakes, terrapins, cockroaches and other creatures to see. It's worth coming back to a tank if you can't find anything in it first time. A visit is likely to take 30-45 minutes. It is situated within Fort Victoria and there is a cafe and shop nearby. It is also next to the sea. There's loads of free parking.

   Some super and unusual animals, well cared for and obviously loved. Interesting place to visit. Well maintained housing and friendly atmosphere.

   Support these people and animals they really need your help! Amazing little place for children to enjoy and learn. Their energy bills have multiplied by EIGHT in recent months. An 800% increase. Many reptiles will not be able to move. So come down, see the reptiles, buy some toys and support these wonderful people. Kids loved it by the way, proper WOW LOOK moments.

   A small but really lovely reptilarium. The animals are clearly well looked after and most of the tanks are labelled. The downvote is because there's no staff. We had to buy our tickets from the gift shop and then go in, and given the small size there's no-one to ensure that masks are being worn and social distancing regulations are being followed. This may have been due to the small number of customers when we visited and I don't know if they have staff in place when it's busier but I can only comment on what I saw. Editing my post in response to the comment from the owner. Juggling a public-facing business and school-aged children at the moment must be an absolute nightmare and under the circumstances I feel I can no longer fault them for any minor issues.

   Had an absolutely fantastic time here absolutely loads for the kids to do from digging in sand to find fossils to looking at lizards and snakes and Turtles, they have stools around so the little kids can see all the animals in their tanks without parents have to pick them up and carry them they have small exhibits of random things as well just to take your interests for example monkey claws and shrunken heads they give you a stamp so once you leave you may re-enter again which this is one of the few places you can have a look around leave go to a cafe have a coffee and still want to go back an hour or two's time before you leave
