If the weather is not so good, you can go there with your children; you can observe many different reptiles and learn their names. Unfortunately information is only in Dutch. The tour lasts approximately 1 1/2 hours. Unfortunately I had to deduct two stars because, in my opinion, the keeping of the animals is not appropriate. The animals lie on smooth PVC floors, the plants in the enclosures are made of plastic and some are too small :( What's good is that the enclosures are being cleaned.

Easy to find. Right beside the Antwerp Central train station. Very spacious zoo with loads of interesting animals and sea creatures. The layout was is fantastic with nice garden landscapes. Myself and friends spent 4hours here and loved it, especially the aquarium and butterfly section. We had a lovely lunch inside a restaurant where the building have one side that was a clear window you can sit by and watch birds nearby. Food was nice and price was reasonable. I recommend to visit this place especially on Mondays where most exhibitions and galleries are closed. The entry ticket for the zoo is €28 but cheaper online if you know when you are going. Toilets here are clean. Gift-shop by the entrance/exit could have a bit more items associated with sea creatures. Very happy to have come and explore this zoo. There is even a few play/cave areas for the kids.

The home of beautiful animals and were nature is closer to man 🧚🏿‍♂️.....

(Translated by Google) Far too many people after reservation. We just walked through most of the stays. Few stewards in the park, people who are literally panting in your neck. Not a nice experience (Original) Veel te veel volk na reservatie. We zijn bij de meeste verblijven gewoon door gelopen. Weinig stewards in het park, mensen die letterlijk in je nek staan te hijgen. Geen fij´e ervaring

What a strange building. Nice, but you never know where you are exactly. The animals are amazing but the space for them is quite small. The whole project is very important and positive. I would advise this for young people to see what humans can do to other species. In negative way for the reason most of the animals are there. And in positive way for the people of the iguana, who try to help and do their best for the animals.

Very nice, we were very surprised that this is more than a normal zoo and they help and rescue animals. Also a lot of informations about their environment and explained what humans do to animals. We can recommend a visit, it takes about 90 minutes to go through.

Thinking this will be a very short visit, with a 4 year old walking full speed from 1 reptile cage to the other. Guess what... We spend a hour in here, the zoo is huge and with a nice collection all kind of reptiles.

I would have liked to know upfront that this place actively advocates an anti-covid measurements policy. Iguana doesn't manage crowd control (eg. Reserve timeslots for visits), register visitors, doesn't offer hand sanitizer at the entrance or during visit (there is soap in the restrooms near the exit). Handrails (for the numerous stairs) felt sticky. At the exit there was a rack with pamphlets promoting anti covid policy viewpoints.

(Translated by Google) The animals had space. Many animals can discover even though they could hide. The buildings are old but beautiful. (Original) De dieren hadden de ruimte. Veel dieren kunnen ontdekken ondanks dat ze wel konden schuilen. De panden zijn oud maar wel mooi.

(Translated by Google) Only the building and the route is worth it. They do a good job there! Fun facts, and hard facts about how the world deals with wildlife. Well worth it! (Original) Alleen het gebouw en de route is al de moeite. Goed werk doen ze daar! Leuke weetjes, en keiharde feiten over hoe de wereld omgaat met het wildlife. Zeker de moeite waard!

(Translated by Google) Visited the museum just after the end of the summer vacation. There were still many people inside and I did not even see one measure taken because of the corona virus. Other visitors bumped into me. Then indicated to reception that this is a concern for me, as no one seems to stick to the 1.5 meter rule - and there are no disinfectants anywhere. The employee of the reception indicated that this was the most troubling himself, but that he could not do anything with it. Left the museum after five minutes, as did several other visitors who were also disappointed in this turn of events. (Original) Het museum bezocht net na het einde van de zomervakantie. Alsnog waren er veel mensen binnen en zag ik niet eens één genomen maatregel wegens het corona-virus. Andere bezoekers kwamen tegen me aan staan. Vervolgens aangegeven bij de receptie dat dit voor mij een zorgelijke zaak is, aangezien niemand zich aan de 1,5 meter regel schijnt te houden - en er nergens desinfecterende middelen zijn. De medewerker van de receptie gaf aan hier zelf nog het meest last van te hebben, maar er verder niks mee te kunnen doen. Na vijf minuten het museum verlaten, net als meerdere andere bezoekers die ook teleurgesteld waren in deze gang van zaken.

(Translated by Google) Lots of animals and good information. Unfortunately, the building and the accommodations are in disrepair. I have been told that they mainly rely on donations and unfortunately there are too few. Other than that, a nice place to learn about the animals! (Original) Veel dieren en goede informatie. Helaas zijn het gebouw en de verblijven aan het vervallen. Ik heb me laten vertellen dat ze het vooral van donaties moeten hebben en die zijn er helaas te weinig. Buiten dat een leuke plek om meer te weten te komen over de dieren!

(Translated by Google) The walk is beautiful with well-kept gardens. Being next to the station is a very good opportunity to see it, either upon arrival in Antwerp or if you have arrived early to take a train, it is an option to take advantage of the time. Cities always surprise for some reason. (Original) El paseo es precioso con unos jardines muy cuidados. Al estar al lado de la estación es muy buena oportunidad de verlo, bien a la llegada a Amberes o si se ha llegado pronto para tomar un tren, es una opción para aprovechar el tiempo. Las ciudades siempre sorprenden por alguna razón.

Very interesting snakes, also very kind reptiles

Not the best of conditions for the animals who were supposedly saved from worse conditions. Fake plants thru and thru. No water. Basement has a terrible stench.where are the purported animal activists. Get active! Building out of the 60s. Reminds me of my old university buildings.

The zoo was setup in a historical building. It hosts very interesting reptiles. Most of them looked quite happy in their houses (I am not sure how a reptile can look happy though) still it is sad to see them in captivity. The exception is the albino piton. It could not survive in wild nature so it is better for it to be kept there. There are also a few skeletons in the exhibition and the one belonged to a piton was really impressive. You cannot enter for free with your museum cards. Get ready to pay around 8 euros per person. There is a small discount for kids.

Ein Ort, an dem alte oder beschlagnahmte Reptilien (gesund) gepflegt und möglichst artgerecht gehalten werden. Mit dem Eintritt unterstützt man die Arbeit der Einrichtung und das tut man wirklich gern. Es wird gut erklärt, wie wichtig eine tiergerechte Haltung ist und was der Kauf exotischer, verbotener Ware anrichtet. Lehrauftrag ggü dem Kind erfüllt...! Der "Zoo" ist liebevoll gestaltet auf etlichen Etagen. Ja, über die Kunstpflanzen kann man streiten, aber die können wenigstens super sauber gehalten werden. Alle Terrarien waren nämlich tiptop sauber (!), auch beim Futter oder die Wasserstellen. Ihr findet Schlangen, Frösche und Kröten, diverse Echsen, Schildkröten, Kaimane und Insekten. Zudem nachtaktive Tiere in einem kleinen Separee. Es gibt Toiletten, mehrere Möglichkeiten von Snackautomaten und am Ende einen kleinen Shop. Richtig nice, für "überschaubaren" Eintritt. Wir waren etwas über eine Stunde im Iguana Zoo.

Basically a really great facility. Old or sick animals are taken in and cared for. The great little corridors and cellars and corners also make the whole thing pleasant. The staff are friendly and helpful and are happy to explain everything. The only thing that bothers me is the almost 100 percent artificial plants in the terrariums. Otherwise there would be 5 stars. Definitely worth a visit.

We visited the reptile house in Breda last year. Good to know about this one too! The collection of reptiles here is extensive, and we had a good time, especially since only four of us were there this afternoon. It was a great opportunity to take a close look at those reptiles.

If the weather is bad you can visit the zoo. The layout of the zoo is good. There are also many different animals and a lot to see. Unfortunately, some terrariums look pretty desolate. There are a lot of plastic plants and PVC flooring installed. The animals would certainly do well with larger terrariums or real plants etc.

Inconspicuous - but very worth it. We were not disappointed and absolutely recommend it.

Absolutely recommended for reptile fans, we scored a lot of points with our little one with this excursion and went through it twice

Iguana Reptile Zoo is there already as long as I can remember. As a child I visited multiple times with my parents. It's always fun and fascinating to "search" for the animals in their enclosures when they are not directly visible.

Nice collection of reptiles. The museum is situated in three adjacent houses with steep stairs, so make sure your company has no walking disabilities.

This place is a wonderful addition to anyones day in Vlissingen. The animals are very well cared of and have big and beautiful habitats with everything the animal needs. The structure is remarkable, every habitat has been placed in the building in a clever way to still make sure the original features of the building are showing!

Amazing experience. Great variety of species, very educational exhibits. Nice mission of the place: caring for sick/injured (or preciously kept privately in captivity) animals.

I was pleasantly surprised. The way the exhibits are integrated in the old architecture is quite unique. The backgrounds of the exhibits are mostly drawn by hand and they give of an wierd antique collector's vibe. The collection was very impressive. And the exhibits were in good condition. The place could use a bit of renovating. But Keep the style. There is potential. And the nursery was amazing. Very cool idea. Keep it up.

First of all, I think it's great that there are such rescue stations for reptiles etc. and hats off to the people who work there. BUT miles away from species-appropriate husbandry in places. PVC flooring and artificial plants have no place in such a therarium. There are definitely better options for hygienic conditions. I would like the animals to have a more beautiful, natural environment, but since many reviews have expressed the same criticism and it is still the case, it will probably stay that way. A PITY

If you like this kind of reptile, I highly recommend you to visit it. Unfortunately, we went to the museum late, it closed at 17.30, we only had about half an hour to enjoy it. I suggest you reserve an hour or two in this area. Tickets are 9.5 euro per adult.

Paid €9.50 for me and my 3 year old and it was well worth it. I have no idea its backstory but to me it seems like a creation from someone who is passionate about reptiles and has spent a very long time collecting cool reptile stuff and the animals themselves look very well cared for. The place seemed to go on and on with a new surprise every room. I did not expect to spend over an hour in there and was me rushing as we had somewhere else to be after.

This place is great with tonnes of exhibits. Great for the kids!!!

Very interesting reptile zoo, many various animals from all over the world . Very instructive for children and parent :)

Great place with a huge amount of different animals.

A great place to visit, especially with kids if you are interested in reptiles and creepy crawlies. Shame it is not accessible to people less mobile. A lot of stairs to climb.

This isn't really a zoo, more a rescue centre, were the injured animals that can't go back to the wild due to injuries or other problems stay. It's a really fun place to visit with tons of differents reptiles. Beside the amazing animals, the building itself is unique as well. It's 5 houses joined, and the exhibits are scattered around. It is not wheelchair friendly because of all the stairs though.

Really very nice. Much better then expected. The exhibition is huge with a lot of strange and unexpected reptiles. Also the habitats are very clean and well kept. Both kids and parents loved it!

The zoo was AMAZING! I absolutely loved it. There were super cute animals mixed with slightly creepy ones. There were so so many animals, we were surprised it just kept going! We spent about an hour here and it was so worth the price. If you're in the area please come visit, it's super worth it! There was a really cute 4 day old baby turtle, I'm so glad I got to see it!

The kids love all of the reptiles!

Great fun for kids and adults

(Translated by Google) Awesome (Original) Geweldig

(Translated by Google) Interesting and a shelter for reptiles They do a good job here, both I think the lofts are small (Original) Interessant en een opvang voor reptielen Ze doen hier goed werk,allowel ik vind dat de hokken bes klein zijn

(Translated by Google) Worth checking out. Lots of animals that are cared for here, after they have been taken in suitcases by the tourist and then discovered here at Schiphol. Also animals that have been put on the "street" by their owner. This Zoo is dependent on donors, very important to take care of these animals. Wonderful work that is being done here. (Original) De moeite waard om eens te gaan kijken. Heel veel dieren die hier worden verzorgd, nadat ze door de toerist mee genomen zijn in koffers en dan hier op Schiphol ontdekt zijn. Ook dieren die door hun eigenaar op "straat" zijn gezet. Deze Zoo is afhankelijk van donateurs, heel belangrijk om deze dieren te verzorgen. Prachtig werk wat hier wordt gedaan.

(Translated by Google) Definitely fun and interesting to visit. Our teenagers also really liked it. Very beautiful in the building. It was quiet so fine to do with the corona measures. (Original) Absoluut leuk en interessant om eens geweest te zijn. Onze pubers vonden het ook erg leuk. Erg mooi ook zo in het pand. Het was rustig dus prima te doen met de corona maatregelen.

(Translated by Google) Reptile Zoo that also serves as a rescue station. Special biodiversity. Very nice staff (Original) Reptilien Zoo der auch als Auffangstation dient. Besondere Artenvielfalt. Sehr nette Mitarbeiter

(Translated by Google) Great outing for the kids. You'll be through it in a few hours. Lots of different animals. The zoo is in a bit of a strange place, right in the center of an old building. And it also feels a bit makeshift. But nothing wrong with that. (Original) Prima uitje voor met de kids. In een paar uurtjes ben je er doorheen. Heel veel verschillende dieren. De zoo zit een beetje op een gekke plek, midden in het centrum in een oud pand. En het doet ook een beetje provisorisch aan. Maar niks mis mee.

(Translated by Google) Nice to see (Original) Mooi om te zien

(Translated by Google) Great fun in bad weather, seen a lot and interesting despite we are not reptile people. (Original) Superleuk bij slecht weer, veel gezien en interessant ondanks wij geen reptielenmensen zijn.

(Translated by Google) Maze with hardly anything to see (Original) Doolhof met amper iets te zien

(Translated by Google) Sentimental journey, went to Iguana again after 35 years, then with Scouting, now with my son. Still enjoying the animals, the stories of smuggling and threats. The building alone is worth a tour. Excellent route and facilities related to corona, fortunately not too busy. (Original) Sentimental journey, na 35 jaar weer eens naar Iguana geweest, toen met Scouting, nu met mijn zoon. Nog steeds genieten van de dieren, de verhalen over smokkelen en bedreigingen.

(Translated by Google) Super fun really worth going to with children (Original) Super leuk echt de moeite waard om met kinderen naar toe te gaan

(Translated by Google) Very nice for children. People there are very friendly (Original) Zeer mooi voor kinderen. Mensen daar zijn zeer vriendelijk

(Translated by Google) It is very interesting and beautiful to watch. Please note: you walk much more than you think at first sight when you see the building. (Original) Het is erg interessant en mooi om te zien. Let wel op: je loopt veel meer dan je op het eerste gezicht denkt als je het gebouw ziet.

(Translated by Google) Many animals. Interesting for young and old! Very good price-quality ratio! (Original) Veel dieren. Interessant voor jong en oud! Hele goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding!

(Translated by Google) As has already been said here, it is not a real zoo, but a sanctuary, but definitely something that I don't think you can experience a second time. Through narrow old corridors, which spread a certain shame and make the visit even more an experience, you can experience many different animals here, no matter whether large or small (and some of them are really huge animals that I have never seen before - Snakes, turtles etc.) animals. Sometimes even with a back story to read through. Further information, e.g. Where the animals come from (the giant turtle from a sailor, the giant python from a toilet in Maastricht or the crocodile from Germany from 2 ladies) are given by the friendly staff. 1 hour + you are quite busy here. Definitely suitable for young and old who want to experience something extraordinary. Unfortunately, I read on another page that some did not think the enclosures were good. In my opinion, this is not the case, because no normal person could build such enclosures in his apartment / house as can be found there. If I were a reptile, I would definitely want to live there and I say that as a great animal lover! Clear recommendation on my part! :) (Original) Es ist wie hier bereits gesagt worden ist kein richtiger Zoo, sondern eine Auffangstation, aber auf jeden Fall etwas, was man so denke ich kein zweites Mal erlebt/erleben kann. Durch schmale alte Gänge, die einen gewissen Scham verbreiten und den Besuch noch mehr zum Erlebnis machen, erlebt man hier viele verschiedene, egal ob große oder kleine (und es sind teils wirklich riesige Tiere, die ich vorher noch nie in dem Umfang erlebt habe - Schlangen, Schildkröten etc.) Tiere. Teils sogar mit einer Hinterstory zum durchlesen. Weitere Infos, z.B. von wo die Tiere stammen ( die riesige Schildkröte von einem Seemann, die riesige Python aus einer Toilette in Maastricht oder das Krokodil aus Deutschland von 2 Damen) geben die freundlichen Mitarbeiter. 1 Std. + ist man hier durchaus beschäftigt. Geeignet definitiv für jung und alt, die mal was außergewöhnliches erleben möchten. Leider habe ich auf einer anderen Seite gelesen, dass manche die Gehege nicht für gut befanden. Dies ist meiner Meinung nach nicht so, denn kein normaler Mensch könnte solche Gehege in seiner Wohnung/Haus errichten, wie sie dort zu finden sind. Wäre ich ein Reptil, würde ich dort definitiv leben wollen und das sage ich als großer Tierliebhaber! Klare Besuchsempfehlung meinerseits! :)

(Translated by Google) Wonderful initiative! Iguana is a shelter for reptiles, amphibians and arthropods. The government and private persons bring in animals that have been confiscated or are no longer wanted for whatever reason. Our goal is to bring all animals back into free nature. That is not always possible, we try to place them in nature reserves. We try to place the remaining animals in zoos and similar organizations. Then there are still many animals for which there is no destination, these are then continuously cared for in Iguana. To pay for the care of these animals, our exhibition has been compiled from a small part of this. Recommended! (Original) Prachtig initiatief! Iguana is een opvangcentrum voor reptielen, amfibieën en geleedpotigen. Door overheid en particulieren worden dieren aangebracht die in beslag zijn genomen of om welke reden dan ook niet meer gewenst zijn. Ons doel is om alle dieren weer terug in de vrij natuur te brengen. Dat is niet altijd mogelijk, dan proberen we ze in natuurreservaten onder te brengen. De nu nog overgebleven dieren proberen we in dieren tuinen en vergelijkbare organisaties onder te brengen. Dan zijn er nog altijd nog veel dieren waarvoor geen bestemming is, deze worden dan blijvend verzorgd in Iguana. Om de verzorging van deze dieren te kunnen bekostigen is van een klein deel hieruit onze tentoonstelling samengesteld. Aanrader!

(Translated by Google) Very nice zoo with a lot of reptiles that you can't see like that. For an entrance fee of just under 10 euros, you get a good hour to see a lot and do something good, because it's actually not a zoo, but a sanctuary for animals. (Original) Sehr schöner Zoo mit vielen reptilien, die man so nicht sehen kann. Für die knapp 10 Euro Eintritt bekommt man eine gute Stunde viel zu sehen und tut auch noch was gutes, denn es ist eigentlich kein Zoo, sondern eine Auffangstation für Tiere.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful old house with lots of lizards, snakes, crocodiles, turtles from the cellar to the roof. It was very interesting. However, there are many stairs to climb. It is possible to drink coffee or have a drink in between. There were also toilets in between.

(Translated by Google) Despite being quite small, this zoo is very nice! There are a lot of different animals in nice big pens. In my opinion, the entrance was good in relation to what you get in return. Definitely recommended! (Original) Deze zoo is ondanks hij redelijk klein is, toch heel erg leuk! Er zijn een hoop verschillende dieren in mooie grote hokken. De entree was naar mijn mening goed in verhouding met wat je er voor terug krijgt. Zeker een aanrader dus!

(Translated by Google) A nice experience, here you can see reptiles and amphibians up close. The route leads you through several houses - it goes up several floors and down to the basement (many stairs: not suitable for wheelchairs or prams). Most of the animals that live here have been confiscated by customs. And so it is absolutely correct that the terrible reptile trade is pointed out in several places - sometimes with drastic pictures. We cannot confirm the negative criticism of some reviewers (no animal welfare etc.). But yes: the buildings are a bit older, it is very winding and the animals and enclosures smell a little. But that's the way it is. 9.50 admission per person (adult) is perfectly fine - the animals also want to be looked after. (Original) Ein schönes Erlebnis, hier gibt es Reptilien und Amphibien aus nächster Nähe zu betrachten. Die Route führt einen durch mehrere Häuser - dabei geht es mehrere Etagen hinauf und hinab bis in den Keller (viele Treppen: nicht für Rollstühle oder Kinderwagen geeignet). Die meisten Tiere, die hier leben, wurden vom Zoll beschlagnahmt. Und so ist es auch völlig richtig, dass an gleich mehreren Stellen auf den furchtbaren Reptilienhandel - teilweise mit drastischen Bildern - hingewiesen wird. Die negative Kritik einiger Rezensenten (keine artgerechte Haltung etc.) können wir nicht bestätigen. Aber ja: die Gebäude sind schon etwas älter, es ist sehr verwinkelt und die Tiere bzw. Gehege riechen ein wenig. Aber das ist nun mal so. 9,50 Eintritt pro Person (Erwachsener) ist völlig in Ordnung - die Tiere wollen ja auch versorgt werden.

Even if you don't like to see, go anyway because with your contribution they can save even more animals ❤ (Original) Enthousiast personeel. Zit in n oud gebouw uit 15nogwa staat me bij.. zo mooi om te zien. Al vind je t niks om te zien ga toch want met jouw bijdrage kunnen ze nog meer dieren redden ❤

Very beautiful zoo. The only thing I'm not so happy about is that you pay full price of 25€ but due to corona you can't visit the inside parts: monkeys, butterflies, reptiles, aquariums and more.. There should be a reduced price,however I give 5 stars,because I know it cost a money to care for those animals.

What's wonderful Zoo. Even with all the restrictions surrounding Covid-19, it was still a wonderful day. It's a beautiful Zoo, located directly adjacent to the Central Station in Antwerp, which you can reach with a special ticket including your train tickets and entrance to the Zoo. Very friendly staff, maintaining a spotless park with healthy and happy looking animals. Hope to visit again soon!

It is a very huge and well laid out zoo and has a great oceanarium !!! I felt some cages were small, though the animals are looked after well. As it is next to the train station, public transport is the best you can do. Totally worth a visit with kids and there are 3 playgrounds as well ! I was there in the summer of 2011...

Amazing zoo, you get too see a lot of animals and we even got a free ticket to go back again.

A great zoo but too little space for all animals.

It's a very nice layed out zoo in the heart of Antwerpen. Some areas are a bit old, and some cages look small. But the animals are treated very well. Worth a visit! Its next to the train station. So public transport is the best you can do

Pretty gardens, lots for tiny children to play on, limited space as in city of Antwerp.

Jammer dat er zo weinig dieren te zien zijn en nog zoveel werken niettegenstaande het zo lang gesloten is geweest

Leuk om te gaan met de kleinkinderen ...jammer dat er zoveel toe was ...

Uno de los Zoológico más antiguos del mundo, muy cuidado y respetuoso con los animales. Un zoo en pleno centro de la ciudad que merece la pena visitarlo. Con las restricciones #Covid hay algunas zonas importantes cerradas (mariposário, pingüinos, reptiles...). Precio algo elevado.

Good.

(Translated by Google) Interesting place to walk and to look for variety during these times to view the animals, subscribers can enter the zoo as early as 9.00 am and it is still calm. Also a nice place to arrange a date with friends. (Original) Interessante plek om te wandelen en om in deze tijden ook afwisseling te zoeken om de dieren te bezichtigen ,abonnee kan al van 9.00u als eerst de zoo binnen en is het nog kalm . Ook een mooie plek voor een afspraakje te regelen met vrienden.

A great place to visit if you even have a slight interest on animals. Surprisingly big and for a fair price. Bonus points for the actually helpful walking route due to C19

Lots of different reptiles and other species. Very interesting to see some new ones. It is a pity that the description of the individual spezies (except their names) can only be read in dutch. Nevertheless, it was really nice to discover the terrariums, places of the animals etc. through the different rooms of the old buildings.

Its totally worth the money and time. One of the best events in the city!! We even met master oogway! Great place, would recommend to visit !

Reptile Zoo Iguana is a shelter for reptiles, amphibians and arthropods. They give excellent care to all creatures and you can walk around for hours.

We really enjoyed spending some time here. The employees were friendly and had knowlegde of the animals and their history. The place is a lot larger than you would expect from the outside.

This was a very interesting "zoo" to visit and a lot of time was spent reading the information about the reptiles, where they are from and what this zoo does to save them. However, this is getting a lower rating because the living conditions of the reptiles are not ideal and there were plenty of flies and bugs flying around while trying to view the reptiles. I am sure continuous work and effort is being put in to the place and that upkeep cannot be cheap, but things such as having real plants in the exhibit and sod, grass, sand, etc. on the ground might make the reptiles more comfortable and would create a better experience for guests.

Really great, also for kids!

The animals are adorable and look happy to see you, the staff is friendly and kind. There's a large variety of different types of animals, (snakes, bats, lizards, etc.). It's a great place to go if you want to see some exotic animals.

I'm not a fan of reptiles, but it was interesting. And it's a great job by the staff!

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 :)

We enjoyed it very much. Only many terraria are quite small with almost only fake plants...

Excellent zoo only for reptiles. I wasn't expecting to see so may species..also a shelter for many rescued animals. If you are in Vlissingen - a beautiful small city by the sea- you should pay a visit.

Excellently maintained zoo with very many exciting animals. Highly recommended for families on rainy days. Would be nice to have some additional information about the animals also in other languages (at least EN).

Goto place if you love reptiles! They are a sanctuary for abandoned reptiles, but also help with the breeding of rare reptile breeds.

Toller Zoo, Auffangstation für beschlagnahmte,geschmuggelte Tiere, liebevoll über 3 Wohnhäuser verteilt,immer einen Besuch wert 👍

Gehege sind in einem Haus untergebracht. Treppauf, Treppen, Keller, 3. Stock. Ganz ok für Regentage, Tiere in gutem Zustand. Pflanzen in den Gehegen sind aus Plastik.Das ist nicht schön.

Das Haus ist größer als es von außen aussieht. Wir haben mit zwei Kindern und zwei Erwachsenen 35€ bezahlt und einiges geboten bekommen. Wenn man mal in Middelburgh ist, der Zoo einen Abstecher wert.
