What an surprise to find a zoo in a basement of a residential building. The zoo is aged but well kept and clean. The limelight is on lizards and snakes, but there are a few tropical animals of other types. At first I doubted how happily can these animals live with artificial light, but they actually seem to be in good condition and some of them apparently bred here so I assume the personnels take good care of them. There are some rare animals with less than a hundred species around the world. The hornbill bird is clearly the star of the show, super friendly and active. The zoo is medium size so it’s great for families with children. I suggest they put the info tags a bit lower so it’s easier for children and short people (like me) to read.

worst conditions for the most animals. the price is extremely high (13€ pp). i felt so sorry especially for the crocodiles. they are not able to do anything because of the small cage. all the plants are out of plastic and even the wood is sometimes. most of the animals are fat because they cant really move around. places like this should be closed for good. dont understand anyone who likes this place. i just felt so sorry for every animal i saw.

If you're a reptile enthusiast, this is the place to go! Super cool, beautiful and rare snakes and lizards. Children will also love it because there are reptiles in any size, color and pattern. There's a chance to see the feeding of reptiles too because we saw the feeding of a reticulated python and a bull snake. It really was like a snake heaven and I can't recommend it enough! Adult ticket: 10€; children ticket (4-17yrs): 8€.

3 stars for the range of beautiful animals on display but I felt sorry for every single one of them. The terrariums are way to small, especially for the crocodile. Most of the terrariums are decorated with just dusty plastic plants, the drinking/swimming water was very dirty and the animals all looked very bored and some are overweight because they don't have room to move around as they should.

Finding this reptile house was a pretty cool surprise. Their collection of constrictors, big lizards, and venomous snakes is impressive. I especially loved getting up close to the green & black mambas, gaboon viper, and the alligator monitor lizard. We got lucky and got to watch a live feeding of several of the big lizards. Great learning opportunity for children and families!

This place was like a big and fantastic surprise for us! It is located in an ordinary, quite aged, building with the same design inside. But! A collection of reptile is amazing! Large and small snakes, two crocodiles, several turtles, varans and small lizards, even one friendly African bird. We were absolutely delighted! Recommended to all reptile enthusiasts!
