It’s a very well kept and interesting reptile zoo with a great variety of reptiles and interesting information. But most of all: It is actually an animal shelter and all animals who live there were rescued - including the alligator! Some of these poor creatures had to be rescued from terrible circumstances and now get the chance to live in this shelter where they receive the treatment for various diseases they acquired during captivity before. Not all animals are on display. The zoo has five quarantine stations for the really sick ones and the personnel takes great effort in getting them fit enough to release them back into the wild where they belong (including flights to tropical countries etc.). All together a great job for reptile preservation is being done here and we were pretty impressed. great place to visit with children, our six year old didn’t want to leave :)
