Had a blast at Reptilia Whitby. The staff are awesome. Very knowledgeable and fun. Great interactivity and the animals are well taken care of. Admission prices are very reasonable. Adults are $16 and kids under 12 are $12. We watched a snake feeding which was incredible. We also got to see and touch two snakes. There was also a Tarantula, but we were not allowed to touch. Will bring the family back for sure.

Took my 3 year old and 1 year old for Valentine’s Day. Nothing says Cupid’s day like snakes! They both had a blast. Went right at 10am and stayed till 2 pm. The staff was great. They walk around and make sure everyone knows when they were doing a feeding or a tour. They pull out different animals for visitors to meet and educate them about. They had tables set up for colouring and a little Valentine’s craft. Kids play area is neat. Play place, music room, mirror maze, glow in the dark tunnel, and snake maze. The area has a water play area too with stones and rubber gators. Gift shop has lots to choose from. It is very warm wear a t shirt. No cafeteria for lunch or snacks, vending machines only. You are able to bring your own drink, snacks and food. They have seating and picnic tables at the enterence. It’s an all day pass, so you can even leave to eat and come back. Overall a great, fun, educational day.

A little small but nice to see a park like this in an older residential part of the city. We visited on a winter day with good snow cover, so no mud issues. Good seating and lots of street parking nearby.

Such a nice park and very friendly dogs when we were there, great splash pad and playground right within a two minute walk at Russell Avenue Park

Been taking my Boy there for 4yrs. "Most" Owners are Constantly Aware of their dog. Good Size Area. City brings Wood Chips to Help with Mud.. I Enjoy going there.❣️ Meeting New Local people. Note: ( 1 area for All dog Sizes)

Had a great time at Reptilia! Kids loved it. Good social distancing and safety measures in place for Covid. Good value. I went to the original location of Reptillia when it was mostly a pet store plus a handful of display animals. Now they have two nice locations that are mini zoos. The animals are so active and interactive due to their great care. Normally you can touch animals during presentations as well. This location has nile crocodiles, black and green mamba, anacondas, tarantulas, and much more. Nice indoor and outdoor play areas for kids. Reasonably priced gift shop. They also sell feeders and equipment for folks keeping reptiles themselves. Great two hour event or birthday spot for kids.

Needed to seek out a new park because our normal one was closed. Pretty good park, most of the dogs are awesome but the people are terrible. Not for medium or small dogs. Not all dogs are friendly here, both of my dogs were attacked. The owners did nothing and laughed me out. Kind of cliquey, if you’re new don’t go unless you know someone.

Never been here. Google keeps insisting I have.

It’s a decent dog park, although it is small. I like that they frequently drop off wood chips, but they seem to just leave them in large piles all year long, so they never really get raked around the property which defeats their purpose. There are some dog owners that bring dogs that are not neutered/spayed which can create issues, so be aware of this. There are also sometimes aggressive/dominant dogs that are brought to this location frequently so also be aware of this.

Great place to let my dog off his leash and just watch him run and play with all the other friendly dogs. 😎😎😎

Decent park, closest to home for us so we frequent it. Could use better maintenance but it's decent for what it is. Just be sure to watch for aggressive/ poorly trained dogs, have had multiple negative encounters with bad owners.

(Translated by Google) To start: if you want to see unhappy animals in a plastic habitat and much too small for reality. This is the place for you! The place is half open and poorly soundproofed. Animals are unhappy and or lifeless. Imagined human voices and cries all day .. For a "zoo" aquariums / enclosures / spaces are much too small ... NO ecosystem is reproduced, despite the explanatory tables on each species and their country of origin which explain their natural habitat. The space is designed for humans and not for animals. Buying space is more important than the well-being of reptiles ... I understand that here we save a few animals. But protection or well-being is not a priority. It is impossible to believe that a plastic plant helps to reproduce the natural ecosystem for reptiles ... During our visit at no time we felt that these animals were receiving good attention. (Original) Pour commencer : si vous voulez voir des animaux malheureux dans un habitat en plastique et beaucoup trop petit pour la réalité. C'est l'endroit pour vous ! L'endroit est a demi ouvert et mal insonorisé.. Les animaux on l'aire malheureux et ou sans vie. Imaginé les voix et les cris humains toute la journée.. Pour un "zoo" les aquariums/ enclos / espaces sont beaucoup trop petit... AUCUN écosystème est reproduit, malgré les tableaux explicatifs sur chaque espèce et leur pays d'origine qui expliquent leur habitat naturel. L'espace est conçu pour l'humain et non pour les animaux. L'espace achat est plus important que le bien être des reptiles... Je comprend qu'ici on sauve quelques animaux.. Mais la protection ou le bien-être nest pas une priorité. Il est impossible de croire qu'une plante en plastique aide a reproduire l'écosystème naturel pour les reptiles... Lors de notre visite en aucun temps nous avons senti que ces animaux recevaient de la bonne attention.

My least favourite park in all of the St. Catharines / Niagara area. Small, very muddy, and filled with debris. Granted, the mud goes part and parcel with the time of year, but this park offers nothing else to relieve the view - no trees. It's a good 'inner-city' park, but if you're driving save the trip and go to Burgoyne or Fireman's.

This was a test for my dog, she hasn't really been socialized in the past so I'm doing the best that I can to socialize her I will definitely have to go back. although I only found one garbage can in the park and that was outside the dog park that's where I had to go to put my empty coffee cup.

Covid protocols well maintained and super polite staff. Love it here and lots of space. Love to see different reptiles.

A good mix of reptiles from across the world.

Kids had fun. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. The animals were active and that's all we could ask for. The place is well kept. There is a little water on the ground but to be expected considering the conditions that need to be maintained.

Why is everyone so snobby here? I just want my dog to run around without being attacked by large dogs while their owners just look on doing nothing. Also, the wood chips have stabbed my dog in the foot twice causing bleeding, I wont come back until it's grass. Burgoyeon woods it is!

For anyone interested in reptiles, this is a great place to visit. The enclosures are really well done and there is multiple chances per day to view feedings. Many species that you would not expect to see or species that are unfamiliar. Venomous and non-venomous species of snakes are part of their collection as well as a great variety of lizards, turtles, tortoises, and frogs. Also crocodiles, alligators, African grey parrot, and tarantula! Feeding time for the crocodiles was exciting. Our grandkids loved our visit there.

The other dogs attacked my dog for no reason and I got kicked out for it I will never bring my animal to this park again the people who bring their dogs here don’t train them and they are vicious towards other dogs *update* my dogs neck is bleeding and full of holes going to vet tomorrow about it and putting in complaints with animal control

Always lots of dogs but too much dirt and not enough grass. I have to wash my dog whenever wr go.

I will not let my pure bred chocolate lab go there. Tried it when he was a pup (8 months at the time) he was attacked by 2 dogs while the owners looked on and did nothing. We pass it in our walks hence this Google map thing comes up. People I have spoken to also talk about kennel cough, some people not controlling their dogs resulting in the former dog being attacked. Dogs need to run to but I rather run or bike with my beloved dupe.

Even though we've had a lot of rain recently, I was surprised at just how muddy this park is. It was like a swamp. The city should do something about that. Other than that, it's a nice park for the dog to run in

I just brought my two dogs here and it was a nice great big fenced in area for them to run! The other dogs were friendly and playful, owners were easy to talk to and shared that most of the time if a dog is getting out of hand or being too much, the owner will leash them up and remove them from the park. Happy to hear it! It was covered in snow today so I didn’t have any mud to deal with. It’s a great leash-free park!

Not a huge fan of dog parks. Very sad that other owners cannot pick up after their dogs but it is what it is.

I love going to this dog park and so does my fur baby! I’ll admit that the ground gets a bit muddy on one half after rain or in winter when the snow melts but the people are great. The majority of people are very responsive to their dogs and break up any fights that happen quite quickly (it’s a dog park so they’re bound to happen occasionally). They’re friendly and happy to chat and share knowledge. In the summer and early fall there is a water spigot that you can get water from. They turn it off once it gets cold so the pipe doesn’t burst so bring water just in case. Basically my only complaint is that the gate latch isn’t always lined up to close easily but the community comes together and fixes it if the city doesn’t come to fix it quickly enough. I absolutely recommend coming here as long as it hasn’t just rained! Your fur kid will thank you for it!

I had my son's birthday party here today and it was a great experience. We all enjoyed ourselves and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Nice little park. Need to avoid after rainy days, due to the plethora of deep puddles. Unfortunately not all dog owners pick up after their dogs either, so you have to watch where you walk.

Clean and well maintained

I think most of these reptiles are rescues some interesting animals

First time visiting and it was great! Definitely worth visiting. Great winters day activity. The staff were friendly and the lady who did the animal talk and feeding was really knowledgeable. My son loved it. Great gift shop too. We've been to the Vaughan one but this one is so much better. A really clean environment, lots of animals to see and staff that were happy working there. A really nice outing.

Very good place for kids. They have a great numbers of reptiles there. I spend some good time with my daughter.

A great time spent at Reptilia Whitby. My kids learned a lot about the different species of reptiles. The snake feeding and the Q and A sessions were very interesting. The staff are very keen to answer any questions you may have. I will definitely return with my boys. Highly recommended!

The kids love this place, but it is extremely hot in there I couldn’t stand it honestly!!

Great place to take the kids.

Lots of fun for the whole family, this location has a great maze & play area for kids!

Nice dog park. Has alot of trees for shade so the pups don't get too hot if it's warm out really clean !

Kids, hubby and I loved it here. Great place to spend the day.

Bought my tickets on Costco.ca and it was still expensive, for what it was. Theatre and outside was not open. If it wasn't for the small park and feeding it would be a two stars.

This was fun for some kids not others. Depends on their interests. The feds were fun but 2 hours between on a sat made it hard to be present for more than one event.

Overall a great place to take your dog off leash just watch out for rainy days!

Very large facility with many different species clean and new.

Very small enclosures for large animals like alligators. It's a torture for animals and we humans must stop using animals for our entertainment.

Fun experience for the children. They enjoy seeing the different species of Reptiles but due to the Covid there was no shows and no engaging activities from the staff. It would have been nice to see the Reptiles in action, the Crocs in the water but most was sleeping or hiding. The indoor playground is closed. The outdoor ponds are dirty and unkept.

Please fix the uneven ground and people need to know their dogs temperment before just releasing off leash. My dog was bit yesterday. Hes okay but this person just got their dog and didnt know it was aggresive. Why was it off leash.

People and dogs are friendly, but can be very muddy.

What to say about this place?...it would be nice if the city actually cared about it. They did bring new mulch which is good but I've had to call for the garbage to be dumped(they did 1/5 of it),as the winds carry the dog feces smell across the one entrance. I'm not sure how involved the city is on paper but considering there is almost no where to have dogs legally off leash they should be more concerned as they mandated the regulations to begin with. That being said I frequent it often(almost unusable after a rain). Most of the dogs I've encountered in there are quite well behaved...every now and again one or two can be trouble but the owners have always took charge and walked the doggy out.

Our dog made so many friends it was great. Some people however seem to know everything about dogs and want to tell us how our dogs should behave. But overall it's great. Highly recommended

Friendly locals here!

I'm happy I have a place in our neighborhood to take the dog to an unleashed park but for the amount of dogs it's a small park. Also, there's not enough people who clean up after their dog.

It's a great park for your pup to run around and be social work other dogs. It would be nicer if it didn't turn into a mud pit any time there was a little moisture (doesn't bother the dogs, just makes clean up a lengthy process)

Have smaller chihuahua dogs, and they don't have a large and small dog section. Those with poorly trained canines have tried to make a snack out of my "rat dogs" but if you have smaller dogs, and go when it's not busy, it's usually a fun experience!

If you have a dog I would recommend this place, the only downside is if you have a pitbull they can't go in

The area is nice. There's a splash pad and playground nearby for kids, the dog area is completely enclosed and the community garden between them, when it's in bloom, looks amazing.

Great location, a lot of different displays to see, very nice play area with 2 mazes, a rock climbing hill, slides and a small cave to explore. There is also a very nice outdoor picnic and play area. Definitely recommend visiting here

The park really is not useable in this weather

Needs furnace

First time here. It was adequate but muddy. Parking on the road could be dangerous if you have dogs that bolt!

Not the greatest. The grounds are rather chewed up and mulched. Little rough on the paws.

Awesome park! Great people and friendly people.

Good bunch of dogs today. My babies had fun.

It was a nice park. There was a dog that just I believe shouldn't have been there he was to aggressive. It was fine though non of the dogs got hurt

My dog Jax loves it there, it is really a great place for him to play and learn to co-mingle with other dogs.

Needs a refresh of mulch. The gates don’t open and close well. The garbage is overflowing with poop bags. These are more complaints aimed at the city.

My dog loves it here

I regularly come here to get feeders for my reptiles. The ladies on the phone and front desk are always incredibly kind, knowledgable, helpful, and a highlight of my day to talk to whether it be over the phone or in person. Their feeders are also always great quality and they get in a really decent selection. I usually get silkworms though occasionally will pick up frozen rats and crickets for a friend of mine.

Great dog park but not many pet owners pick up after their pet.

Enjoyed our visit here. Followed all COVID 19 protocols. The kids enjoyed the reptiles on display. We also ended up spending more time at the play area. Highly recommended. Plan for 2-3 hours.

They have a great selection on live feeders for reptiles. I come here to get butterworms, silkworms, and waxworms mostly! The last couple times I got the feeders they were always in the best quality you can get compared to other shops in town.

Loved this place, saved the day on a rainy summer day. Can't wait to be back. Make sure, that you're there for the feeding, it's really interesting. I enjoyed that we could get close to most of the animals, it was a real hands on experience for my daughter.

Well maintained

I really love this park. You can have some alone time with your pup during week days, noonish during the weekend the park is usually a bit busy, which can be fun :)

Great place for dogs!

Nice people and good dogs. A little muddy but a pretty good off leash park.

Great park. Always lots of dogs. Wish it was grass instead of woodchips but thats ok.

Great size, fun agility tunnels, safe gates to enter and exit. I love the size as it's large enough for doggos to run freely, yet small and spacious enough to keep your friend within sight at all times. There are also large tunnels for those that wish to train, and I love the smaller fenced section between gates so you may enter or exit safely, as this keeps remaining dogs inside. Should anyone slip by cheekily, this fenced section between gates acts as a handy fail-safe that keeps your friend from potentially running out altogether. Some visitors aren't fond of the woodchips over grass, but I believe this helps with mud, keeping the park accessible even during rainy weeks. Safe and fun space to socialize your friend and I look forward to frequenting the park. :)

Great park...great people...great dogs! Buddy loves it here:)

Good location, alright park. There is water access.

Best community of dogs

It was ok too many big dogs should have separate fir small dogs

We went really early in the morning and there wasn't anybody else there but it was a nice size and I liked how it had the double gated entry/ exit.

Some owners dont care if their dog is biting other dogs. Would be better if their was a small dog side.

Kinda lack luster. Takes about 20 minutes to see the whole thing. Ver expensive for what u get.

It's new and things are still getting setup still, but they have a great space. The playground is surprisingly great, with cool mazes. They have a great outdoor space for picnics.

Very cool. Kids had fun. Just very quick and $17 for Adults is way too much. Should be dame price for everyone. Not likely to go back anytime soon due to the pricing and quick experience.

Great place, found out so many things that I didn't know about reptiles. Also has a great play area for kids.

Awwsome. Jess was great

Great Zoo keeper and private show. Jessica was so knowledgeable and entertaining. The kids were entranced.

A quick lap around the exhibit and it's over, the Crocs were the best display for me, even so it was hard to be too enamored with the place. An ok way to spend an hour and learn about the crawlers, swimmers and slitherers amongst us.

(Translated by Google) Very sad place. Only plastics plants and too much littles spaces for the poors animals. All animals are sorry. They have no space and they live in enclosures that don't even mimic their natural habitat a bit. (Original) Very sad place. Only plastics plants and too much littles spaces for the poors animals. Tous les animaux font pitiés. Ils n'ont pas d'espace et ils vivent dans des enclos qui ne reproduisent même pas un peu leur habitat naturel.

If your kid likes reptiles they will love it.

For the dogs. Typical wood chip run. Decent sized. Regular patrons are generally friendly. All sizes and shapes of dogs and humans alike.

Amazing...wY better than Vaughn.

Great customer service from the staff here. Always ready to help.

Great curbside service! Brianna was very friendly on the phone!

better than Vaughn

Really love this reptiles zoo, spacious and save enough. The playground structure is closed, but this is reasonable at this days. The washrooms are open.

Doggos

awesome spot to bring the dog to play

"Birthday Party" What a terrific place! The kids really enjoyed themselves. Our host was very enthusiastic and fun. Even been inches from a giant crocodile?
