The kids loved seeing and hearing about the reptiles and amphibians. There isn't a huge amount to see, but it was worth going.

My daughter had a great time at the fairy event and looking at the reptiles. The employees are really nice! Especially Ariana who was very sweet!

Had a blast today! Went to a birthday party and it was awesome. My girls had a blast. Def will be back to bring my son as well at some point. Located across from the infantry museum on Lumpkin road. Really cool place to check out. The kids got to sit on stage in the auditorium for a special show for the party and got to see reptiles and learn some cool info!

Amazing place for little kids. I took my son (5 years old) to the Reptile Show this morning and he loved it. Great variety of specimens, dinosaur fossils, the bee keeping was fascinating, and there was plenty of hands-on to do on site, too. Staff was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time.

My girls enjoyed the reptiles, especially the alligators! Closest thing to a zoo in Columbus, GA.

My grandsons, two and four enjoyed all that oxbow Meadows offered today. It was a real treat! Alligators, turtles and tortoise, snakes, lizards, fish and they absolutely loved the activity rooms!
