Who we are and what we do?
Reptilia has been in the business of educating people about reptiles for 10 years.  Our current location is the largest facility of its kind in Canada.  The 25,000 square foot building includes a 15,000 square foot zoo, retail store, gift shop, snack bar, and six classrooms.

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.  Our largest exhibit features Induna, at 14 feet and 1,000 lbs he's Canada's largest crocodile. Live demonstrations, feedings, and meet the keeper events provide hands on experiences for all visitors. [read more about the zoo]

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.  [read more about education at Reptilia]

Retail Store - Reptilia informs reptile and amphibian owners and future hobbyists about responsible, ethical selection, and proper care of reptiles and amphibians. 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 hobbyists – educate them.  [read more about retail services]

Birthday Parties - Reptilia has provided entertaining and education birthday parties for our young visitors since 1998.  Parties at Reptilia are all inclusive engagements featuring a live interactive reptile show, food, drinks, and admission to the zoo.  Each event is both educational and entertaining with a focus on hands-on experiences for all guests.
