Back before social media brought this place so much attention, it was a great store. Not anymore. They need to focus on the animal care instead of selling tickets. Ants everywhere, crawling on the reptiles, their food was covered in them. The tanks were disgusting.

Awesome experience, my kids loved it they couldn't get enough. Really nice place for a party or private viewing if you wish to do so.

Excellent place to visit. My boys have been coming here since they were babies. There is so much to see and the place has expanded. Alligators are super cool especially the albino ones. The owner is a really nice man and his staff as well. I would recommend this place to anyone who has kids... It's fun

I had 3 turtles, 3 african ciclids & 2 plecos that I couldn't take with me because my wife & I were moving to texas... So I called Prehistoric Pets...These people that work here are a lifesaver...They took all my aquatic animals with no question...They also let me & my say our good bye's by putting them in the water... I had all my aquatic animals since the were babies... Thank You PREHISTORIC PETS...

Of course! Actually, if you happen to get there on a SUNDAY (super sunday they call them for no reason) MOST LIKE LIKELY, they will be filming HATCHLING CUTTING! You can TOUCH an actual SNAKE EGG, BEFORE its cut. And AFTER, YOU GET to go to go to the other room where a bunch of tame small snakes are, and you can HOLD THEM!!! Jay, Tim, and the crew, are ALL ABOUT EDUCATION!!! So, GO AHEAD and ASK EVERY QUESTION YOU GOT! No matter WHAT IT IT!! EVEN TRY TO STUMP THEM!!! It's a store & Zoo!!! Reptiles of ALL KINDS!!!
