Being in the professional zoo industry I tend to have a much more critical eye when I visit other zoological facilities. Recently, I had the good fortune to finally make a trek to the Kentucky Reptile Zoo and boy I couldn't have been more pleased with my visit! Jim and Kristen are two of the most knowledgable reptile people you will find. Their well trained staff are customer friendly, courteous, and knowledgable in their own right. The setting is very intimate; something you don't get at larger zoos. Each building is like opening a new present; lots of unexpeced surprises with some of the world's most exotic and beautiful reptiles; particularly their venomous snake collection. You'll be hard pressed to see a more diverse collection than this one. The exhibits are really nice, the animals in impeccable condition, and the drive to get to this zoo is absolutely beautiful. It's worth the drive whether you are from Chicago like I am, or, from just about anywhere in the U.S. For anyone who enjoys reptiles or wildlife in general this is a great place to visit. You will not be disappointed. And I have heard many others say the same thing who have visited. Great job KRZ!!!!!

I entered with the first tour group on a Saturday morning. The intern walked us to 3 small buildings and said "these are the tropicals"," these are the North Americans" and" these are the giants".That was about the extent of the tour, no explanations and there were no descriptions of the species on the enclosures other than the name and "venomous". Not at all informative. It was all over in less that 20 minutes. Perhaps after visiting Reptile Gardens in South Dakota's Black Hills, my expectations were high. Reptile Gardens is excellent.

A last minute addition to our trip on the way home from Lexington. The kids loved it!! Tour guides are so knowledgeable on all snakes and other animals there. They made the tour interesting. Not everyday do you see a snake get milked! Reasonably priced gift shop too!! Must do if you are in the area.

I was just a bit disappointed in this attraction. There is a $7.00 fee per adult and that got us a tour of about 30 minutes. We were showed 3 small buildings of snakes, 2 alligators and some turtles. Venom is extracted here for research and that is a good thing so I don't regret the ticket price; I was hoping for more information from the guide and more displays. People added to our tour along the way and the buildings became quite crowded which made viewing difficult.

Are you kidding? Wife and I stopped by while driving home from a family visit. This is a joke right? They should reduce the admission price to $1 like the giant python we saw at the mall and enjoyed much more. We don't usually write reviews but had to here. Oh, don't plan on using the restroom. There are NONE. Really?

There is live snakes, and tons of them. You can walk through and see all types, which is fun for the kids, creepy for the adults..

They have tons of awesome reptiles. I have to admit that I’m not a big fan of snakes, but Christian, the owner, is so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. She makes the trip a very good learning experience for me. Come to their shows: 1PM/3PM/5PM!

If you're expecting some highly polished multi-million dollar facility, move along. This is a quirky place, very oddball. It's basically thrown together from utility sheds and outbuildings. However, aside from it's less than sophisticated construction, very interesting. Tons of snakes of all sorts. The young woman who was our guide was quite personable and was able to answer all of our questions about the snakes. We timed our visit to watch them harvest snake venom, which was quite interesting. If you have an open mind and like places that are unique and off the beaten path, you'll enjoy it. None of the people in my party of 7 regretted taking the time to check this place out. If you expect a fancy big city exhibit, you'll be less than thrilled.

I Have 4 Little Girls & They Love Going Here. They Think We Have To Go Every Year! They Really Enjoy Watching The Snakes Get The Venom Milked Out Of Them! This Year They Even Got To Hold A Baby Alligator!

Anyone with at least a passing interest in reptiles would enjoy KRZ- they have a massive collection of reptiles on display from all over the world, and are an active venom collection site for medical research with demonstrations almost every day. The keepers are highly knowledgeable and experienced, and happy to answer any questions.
