Living Amphibians Invertebrates and Reptiles — Attraction in Los Angeles

Overall, this LAIR trip was fantastic! The herpetological diversity of amphibians, invertebrates, and reptiles is all on display and is undoubtedly worth gazing at. This exhibit, though crowded, was well organized; people were efficiently managed through its flow. The space is larger than one would think, with a vast display that kept both children and adults interested. My kids were overly excited, pointing out several different creatures in the place and learning many interesting facts from the information display boards. They were so knowledgeable, and the staff answered questions and shared information about the animals very quickly. Their passion for wildlife showed through and enriched the experience.

I definitely recommend you stop by the "LAIR" on your next trip to the LA Zoo, if you enjoy viewing and/or want to learn more about animals such as snakes, frogs, centipedes, tortoises,...

Great climate control, mood lighting, and interesting exhibits continue to make this my favorite part of the zoo. PS that chinese giant salamander is an...
