Edisto Island Serpentarium, Edisto Island

We went here for a field trip with our class. It was a great experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They also were very eager to teach what they knew about the reptiles. The snake show is fun.

A great and educational place for aspiring herpetologist, animal lovers, and kids. It had a plethora of native and exotic species in a fluid walkthrough. They also have presentations at designated times to educate and offer unique experiences with these animals. It offers an wonderful, educational and safe way to see these beautiful and interesting animals. For a reptile lover and keeper like myself, this is a must go to place.

For the price, it was a small place. I wonder how many snakes escape their "pens" from the trees. I think they should be cut back further. There were open steps that any child could climb and walk across the top of the crocodile pen. The concession stand was out of almost everything.

Great place for families with children, indoor and outdoor exhibits, well kept and decent facilities. The restrooms were clean, and there was a large indoor area that had air conditioning. The smell was not overwhelming inside. They also offer a snake talk, which takes about 30 minutes. They have a nice covered area, close to the snack shop, convenient for bottled water, Gatorade, soft drinks and cheap food. Very informative talk and helpful, then you get to touch a snake. Worth it! You can also view the alligator feeding, it is fun to watch and there is some information about the gators. The pits are all filled up with turtles, gators, nonvenomous, and venomous snakes. It's fun to try and spot them all! Overall, if you skip the gift store you can make it out of this place fairly cheap, and have a great time with your family. I gave 5 stars because it was definitely worth the trip, the information was great, and the facilities are well kept and enjoyable to the whole family.

We had a great first time visit. Nice clean place, friendly employees. It's a nice quiet place to walk around and learn about reptiles and such. Price is not bad at all. We enjoyed it.
