The aquarium features 15 tanks, two pools, and several terrariums which serve as recreated natural habitats for various species of snakes, sea turtles, frogs, lizards, and fish. You can have your picture taken with most of these wild animals, or learn about their feeding and breeding habits from the staff.

Visited and we really enjoyed it, especially my little boy. The staff were all very friendly and informative. It’s not that big but it’s not expensive at all and well worth a visit. more »

Great tiny little aqua zoo to visit. Kind of a must see if you're in the area. All kinds of species from the area are displayed. Staff is really kind and helpful. We enjoyed spending time out in the garden seeing all kinds of reptiles up close. Would've surely given 5 stars if the entrance were wheelchair friendly. I got in with some help from the very hospitable owners though.

Excellent aquarium and reptile area. They do amazing work here with rescues, that alone made me and my friend want to go in. Once we got there, the staff are so welcoming and chatty that we knew we made the right choice. Brilliant knowledge from staff, and signs in many languages with information about each creature if you would prefer not to ask questions. Could not recommend this place enough, and don't forget to leave a donation for the animals while you are there!
