From first-time visitors to lifelong reptile lovers — here's what families, kids and educators share after their experience at The Reptile Room.
"Eric uses great caution with both the reptiles and the "students", ensuring he vocalizes what typical behavior of said reptile looks like vs concerning behavior. There wasn't a singular question brought up he couldn't answer and this became the highlight of my company's visit. We loved all the fun names!"
"We did a homeschool field trip here with kids ranging from age 3 to 8. Eric was patient, clear, knowledgeable, and funny! He kept the kids really engaged and explained everything so well"
"First time for us here, blown away by the staff. Such beautiful, wonderful and very passionate people from the till to the fellow who taught us about all the creatures. Very knowledgeable and broke it down for my kid to understand. Lots of reptiles to see and ask about, no lack of information when asked."
"I booked the ball python class to overcome my fear of snakes. An hour later I didn't want to put him down. Life-changing experience."
"The school presentation was the highlight of our year. Every student was engaged from start to finish and the live animals brought the lesson to life."
"We came in for a quick look and stayed two hours. The staff treats every animal — and every guest — like family."
"Third visit and counting. The Reptile Room is the only place in Western Canada where you can actually connect with these animals up close."
