    I was on the edge of my seat!
    This was waaaaay more awesome than I expected it to be. I’m generally ambivalent toward snakes but a friend wanted to go. They have a surprisingly impressive collection of snakes with great information. The entire team was very knowledgeable and helpful. We witnessed and learned about the venom extraction process. (We were on the edge of our seat holding our breath!) They also brought out two beautiful non-venomous snakes and taught us about them while taking time to let the small audience touch or hold them. They weren’t rushed, it was a very relaxed experience. To be honest, I left really kind of liking snakes and seeing them in a different light. There were of course a good collection of children and the team was very patient answering all their questions. (Btw, the parents had just as many questions as the kids!) 10 out of 10, I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone.

    A must do
    Very informative and pleasant staff. It was probably the most interesting site we visited during our trip to Daytona. The best time to visit is during the time they are doing venom retrieval. The times are listed on the website. It is a must do when visiting the area
