Reptile World Serpentarium

We visited here while we vacationing in Orlando. This place was very informative and you get to see a like venom extraction show. It is amazing to see these men with these venomous snakes. After the show which is roughly 30 minutes, the guy brings out a snake and goes around the room and lets whomever wants to hold it do so and you can take pictures. For the money which was 8.00 per person I found it well worth the money and the gentleman who owns the facility very nice and personable.
You would never know this is here if you don’t google it, it is a small facility but very clean and fun.

One of the true hidden gems in Orlando. For 8 bucks and 2 hours you get to see a ton of some of the coolest snakes in the world with at least four of them in a live venom extraction show. That show lasts about 30 minutes and is the obvious highlight of the visit. I have not seen the place crowded so you will likely be watching the show with only a few others and can hug the glass to get only a couple feet away.
Besides the 50 or so mostly venomous snakes on display, they also have 4 alligators, a Nile croc, turtles, iguanas and few of the larger lizard species.
My dad took me here as a kid and I never forgot the experience, so I just took my own son there and hope it is as memorable for him. Give this place a shot as it truly is an awesome hidden gem.

I’ve been here several times and have always been happy. This is one of the best attractions in the area. It’s inexpensive, fun for kids, and educational (don’t tell the kids lol). George is not only knowledgeable about what he does, but is clearly concerned with the well being of the animals both in his care and those in the wild and their dwindling habitats.
The venom shows are amazing… you actually get to watch him (behind glass) hold and «milk» venom from Cobras, Rattlesnakes, Coral snakes, and more. Very cool stuff!
If you want a break from the theme parks this is the perfect way to take a day off from your vacation schedule. Enjoy!

Smallish attraction just far away from Disney to make it inconvenient to most. Well worth the time and money to see the venom milking demonstration. You may never get another chance to be that close to venomous snakes not in a cage. Seeing the cobra with hood was quite an experience and memory.

Lots of SNAKES! Which my son LOVED! The venom show is awesome and really keeps the kids’ attention. The man that runs it really knows his stuff! There are lots of turtles to feed too. My only qualm was the restrooms, avoid them.

Great experience. I’ve never thought I’d touch a snake until they wrapped it behind my neck. Great for people of all ages.

I had a great time at the Serpentarium today. I rate it 3 stars based on a comparison with other tourist attractions in the area; however, depending on how much you love snakes you may think it is better than 3 stars.
First thing to know when planning a trip to the Serpentarium is if you are not there for the snake show — it may only take you about ½ hour to tour the place. (and not worth the price of admission which just increased $ 3.00 per person — to $ 8.75 per person)
Therefore it is a MUST that you plan your trip. The place is closed on Mondays and also the entire month of September (according to their brochure — I don’t see on the netsite where it says they are closed in September — so if you are here in September you may want to call before trekking out there)
The snake show is held at noon and 3 pm … PLAN YOUR TRIP AROUND THIS SHOW!!! It is very educational — and well worth the cost of admission. First you are given an introduction to the snakes which you will be seeing, and taught about snake milking, and the production of anti-​venom. and depending what questions are asked you may learn lots more — feel free to ask questions. After all is said — then comes the exciting part — you get to watch them milk the snakes. They milk quite a few snakes (go ahead! don’t sit!!! walk up to the glass so you can get a good view).
They have a couple birds «in the park». I’m saddened regarding their caging and lack of toys and things to keep them happy.
They have some gators — including a huge one that I believe they said is 40 years old. He runs along the enclosure following the gal that feeds him … that was kind of fun to watch.
They have several iguanas which are very cool to look at. They have turtles … and of course They have tons of Snakes —
All the animals in their care look healthy and, with the exception of the birds, seem to have nice enclosures. The enclosures are clean and well kept. and they even have a resident dog who may grace you with a visit if you smile nicely at him.

One star for a crappy misinforming website.
Website says open every day except holidays and Mondays. Tried to take my son there for his birthday (A Thursday) and they are closed. Person who I dealt with was very rude and expected me to know this information. I did check the website after I got home and found the same WRONG information.
Update your website and I might consider redoing this review.

The most interesting man in the world doesn’t shill Mexican beer. His name is George Van Horn and he runs the Reptile World Serpentarium in Saint Cloud, Florida. Based on the previous Unilocal review, which said you could see this place in all of 30 minutes, I had low expectations for my visit here, but I was blown away. The venom show is the most spectacular thing I have ever seen, and I have seen quite a bit of spectacle in my day.
If you come here, make sure you schedule it around one of the venom shows, which happen daily at noon and 3pm. I could paint a picture with words, but it’s better to see it in motion. Go to Youtube and type in «Reptile World Serpentarium,» and you’ll get an idea of what to expect. It’s creepy, terrifying, and mesmerizing all at the same time. Simply talking to him before or after the show is worth the cost of admission, as he recounts stories from over 50 years of snake-​handling. He milks 10+ poisonous snakes a day with his bare hands, which is just unbelievable. A must-​see if you are in central Florida and looking for something unusual to do. Bring a camera!

If you kid is a fan of snakes and reptiles this is a must see attraction. While not a big facility, it is one of the older tourist attractions in the area. The attraction had about 25 different snake tanks. The best part was the amount of cobras the facility had. There is also a turtle pond with some big alligator snapping turtles, a small alligator pond with a 4ft and 7ft gators, and some iguanas. You can spend 30 – 0 minutes at the attraction to see it all. There are venom extraction demonstration, but we missed them (supposed the best part of the attraction).
