Clyde Peelings Reptiland

I had to drive to my warehouse today to pick up and an order. When I woke up this morning, I decided since I would be so close to Clyde Peelings Reptiland I would pack up some snacks and get an early start for a visit.
Reptiland is about 2 hours north of our home.
It is a small zoo specializing in, you guessed it, reptiles and the like.
Audrey and I made it just in time to enjoy the reptile show, where we learned about dinosaurs, which is the now theme for the park for spring.
We then traveled around and visited the turtles and tortoises.
Then, we enjoyed some time in the butterfly house.
To say that Audrey LOVED the butterflies would be an understatement.
She yelled, Butterfly, quite a few times.
She was also energized by the kindergarten class visiting the butterfly house during our time there.

The other kids energy, coupled with hers, made it for a fun show.
More than once a butterfly landed on her hat( which I never caught on camera)and it excited her little friends.
Then, we made our way through the reptile exhibits.
Our last stop was the Dinosaur exhibit. There, we found animatronic dinosaurs, incredibly lifelike. They moved and roared.
Since Dinosaur Train is one of our favorite shows on PBS, Audrey was excited to see each dinosaur and talk to it. Never scared.
It took just 1 hour to make it through Reptiland, perfect for a toddler and parent, and kids are FREE under 2. My ticket was $14.00
I am excited to schedule many trips to share with you our family and friends for summer. This was our first stop.
