Who we are and what we do?
Reptiles and amphibians are largely misunderstood and feared by the general public. These animals form a significant part of the world’s biological diversity which needs to be preserved. Our goal is to educate people about reptiles and amphibians. We accomplish this by educating students and the general public through teaching.

Reptile Zoo - Our reptile zoo is specifically designed to provide an educational, interactive, and entertaining experience with reptiles.  The large, naturalistic exhibits are designed to suite the needs of each species and provide visitors with a look into the environments where each species may be found.  Live demonstrations, feedings, and meet the keeper events provide hands on experiences for all visitors.

Educational Programs - Reptilia's educational programs are written to suit curriculum guidelines to ensure that the lesson given is compliant with provincial standards. Our programs are directly linked to the topics the students are learning in the classroom.  Reptilia staff also conduct workshops for teachers to provide them with additional background knowledge needed to teach science in the classroom. 

Retail Store - Reptilia also strives to inform reptile and amphibian owners and future hobbyists about responsible, ethical selection, and proper care of reptiles and amphibians. The approach of many educational institutions and academics is to discourage private owners from having these animals.

We take a different approach. Our attitude toward retail sale of reptiles and amphibians is as follows: The public will always have a fascination with reptiles and amphibians and some will choose to maintain them in captivity.

Educational facilities like Reptilia and others should ensure that the hobbyist is well informed and that the animals get the best possible care. That is, instead of chastising the hobbyists – educate them.
