点评:This place is an absolute gem. I was in Kilkenny for a few days with my 5 year old, staying in the Newpark Hotel. I looked up some things to do in the area and came across the reptile zoo. I am SO glad we went. The tickets were very reasonably priced and we had an absolute ball. My Son LOVED it. The demonstrations were a massive hit with him, as well as just being able to wander around at our own pace for as long as we wanted. There was a great variety of different snakes, lizards, tortoises, and even alligators/crocs.
The demonstrations were incredible for me too, as I did something I never in a million years thought I would do. I am absolutely terrified of spiders, but I pushed through my phobia and actually HELD ONE. The things we do for our kids, eh?? I can't remember the chap's name who was doing the demonstrations, but even though he said he was just an intern, he didn't seem like it. He was so knowledgeable, and I guess his calming presence helped me to face my lifelong fear 😅. I can't believe I actually held a tarantula, was a massive deal for me. I wanted to show my Son that they aren't so scary, and I didn't want to pass on my fear to him. I hope I succeeded!
Great zoo, overall great experience, we will definitely be back! 🕷️
翻译:这个地方真是个宝地。我带着我五岁的孩子在基尔肯尼待了几天,住在纽帕克酒店。我查了一下附近有什么好玩的,偶然发现了爬行动物园。我很高兴我们去了。门票价格非常合理,我们玩得非常开心。我儿子特别喜欢。动物园里的动物演示非常吸引他,而且我们还可以按照自己的节奏随意逛逛。动物园里有各种各样的蛇、蜥蜴、乌龟,甚至还有鳄鱼。
动物园里的动物演示也让我惊叹不已,因为我做了一件我以前从没想过会做的事情。我非常害怕蜘蛛,但我克服了恐惧,真的抓住了一只。这可是我们为孩子们做的好事啊,不是吗?我不记得做演示的那个人叫什么名字了,虽然他说自己只是个实习生,但看起来不像实习生。他知识渊博,我想他那平静的姿态帮助我克服了一直以来的恐惧😅。我简直不敢相信我竟然真的抱了一只狼蛛,这对我来说意义非凡。我想让我儿子知道,狼蛛其实没那么可怕,而且我不想把我的恐惧传染给他。希望我成功了!
很棒的动物园,总体来说很棒的体验,我们一定会再来的!🕷️
