    5/5

    Beautiful grounds and enclosures, super friendly people. We went at the hottest part of the day but they do have drinks available to purchase and plenty of shaded seating areas. They also have complimentary sunscreen available. In addition to the usual gift shop fare, they have a plant nursery and paintings by some of the reptiles available. Feeding the Galapagos tortoises is the highlight, but there are so many animals to see - exotics and natives. The Eastern indigo and Florida pine Snake were two of my favorites.
