What is there to do?

It's time to meet some new friends at the Indian River Reptile Zoo!

The Indian River Reptile Zoo is the only Reptile Facility in Canada to be an accredited member of the Canadian Association Of Zoos and Aquariums, which is kind of a big deal! 

This amazing zoo is home to over 200 reptiles, many of whom were rescued from the pet trade, and some of which are endangered, and none of which can be returned to the wild, so you know the zoo is doing a great job in looking after these beautiful creatures to ensure they have a happy life!

The reptiles are kept in climate controlled conditions with each enclosure mimicking the reptiles natural habitats, and the reptiles are rotated to be on display, giving them a break thus reducing their stress, which is great!

It's a great educational experience for kids, because not only can they meet reptiles indigenous to Canada, and from the rest of the world, but they can also learn about them with the fact sheets next to each enclosure.

Many reptiles are misunderstood, so the exhibits at the Indian River Reptile Zoo offer a chance for these barriers and misconceptions to broken down, and kids can gain a more realistic understanding of alligators, snakes, frogs and more!

Also at the zoo are nature trails, a replica of Stone Henge, dinosaur fossils and Canada's LARGEST crocodile slide!

A slitheringly fascinating day out with your new reptile friends!
