    Most visitors leave thrilled with their experience at this compact zoo that offers way more than its name suggests. Beyond the extensive reptile collection, families rave about the surprisingly excellent petting zoo where goats steal the show, and the popular animal encounters with creatures like capybaras and crocodiles get enthusiastic recommendations. Staff members consistently earn praise for being friendly, knowledgeable, and especially patient with children. The cleanliness stands out too, with multiple reviewers commenting that enclosures are well-maintained and the place smells better than expected for a zoo this size. The small footprint works in its favor, letting families comfortably explore everything in about three hours without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Tickets start around $20 with military and senior discounts available, and the encounters cost extra but seem worth it based on visitor feedback. A couple of negative experiences mention issues with staff attentiveness during special events, and there's one strong dissenting opinion about animal welfare, though this doesn't reflect the broader pattern of reviews. The place clearly has nostalgic appeal, with several visitors returning years later with their own kids and finding it just as good or better than they remembered.

    This place was such a delightful spot. My mother-in-law wanted to take my niece somewhere fun while she had a short summer stay here, so my husband and I took them both to the Animal World & Snake Farm Zoo. I will admit that I am not usually supportive of zoos and have only been to a couple in the last decade, but this one seemed to take good care of the animals. Staff members were constantly roaming the grounds, checking on animals and refilling waters and such. I was impressed. All of the animals seemed in wonderful spirits, and I captured a good chunk of footage of them that I hope you enjoy. The petting zoo was fun, but do be warned that the goats like to jump! I wouldn’t recommend going in there without some feed. The other animals are very sweet and definitely fun to look at! All in all, it was a delightful trip, and I would heavily recommend this place for any small excursions with children or adults who want to see some animals up close.
