Parque Reptilandia

Parque Reptilandia Review

Five years in the making, Parque Reptilandia is an impressive reptile exhibit with more than 300 specimens of snakes, lizards, frogs, turtles, and other creatures in terrariums and large enclosures. You can see a Komodo dragon, Gila monsters, and a 150-pound, African spur-thighed tortoise that likes to be petted. Kids love the maternity ward showcasing newborn snakes. More-mature snakes live under a retractable roof that lets in sun and rain. Although snakes are generally more active in sunlight, this is still a great rainy-day-at-the-beach alternative activity. Guided night tours ($20) can also be arranged to watch nocturnal animals at work. If you're not squeamish, feeding day is Friday.
