My family loved the variety of reptiles and the many exciting shows. This is a 'must see' on any Black Hills vacation! We will be back.

I disagree with the previous post. Reptile was a surprise stop on our trip and my young family absolutely loved the shows and the value. We are planning on visiting again next year. Crazy Horse was great too.

It was a little hokey and run down. My 3 year old boy loved it but my 8 year old girl did not enjoy it one bit. The hype did not live up to the reality, kind of like Crazy Horse.

The kids went nuts at this place. I was amazed at the amount of reptiles. I thought the claim was a bit exaggerated of them having the largest collection of reptiles in the world - but not after being there.

More than we expected. Very informative shows. Great and knowledgeable staff. Could have spent an entire day here if I only had known how great it would be(not enough time budgeted and had to get somewhere else the same day). Highly recommend.

Great place for a snake lover. The exhibits are well done and there are lots of reptiles and birds. However, if I had the trip to plan over again, I would not include this stop. We could have taken the Presidents Slide a few more rides if we hadn't stopped here.

The Reptile Gardens was somewhat expensive, but there was plenty to see and one could easily spend a couple hours there. I would recommend this to anyone interested in nature or animals (reptiles in particular) and especially to children, as it was educational and entertaining. You guided yourself on the tour around the area, which was nice getting ...
