Nice experience - It was great to see the snakes close up and to learn so much about them. It was a great way to spend some time while it was raining heavy

Snakes and Amphibians - The room was very dim they didn't have the enclosure lighting on during the tour. Learned a few facts about the many snakes and amphibians of Costa Rica. There was only one lizard to be seen to the dismay of my 7 year old who was looking forward to seeing different reptiles aside from snakes. Guide was good.

Just about average - The tour was about 30-35 minutes and a guide takes you through a room (Herpetarium) which has a bunch of snakes and a few frogs of Costa Rica. The reason I took my 5 year old to this tour was for her to see all the reptiles and amphibians of Costa Rica, since there is no guarantee who can see them in the wild in one of the night tours or walks. We could check the box that she was able to see all of them, but the guide was not very engaging and could have done a better job at explaining things. He made all the snakes and frogs sound so scary and talked about how poisonous and deadly they are and how many people and kids they can kill. Not fun for a 5 year old to hear. It wasn’t like our group was big and he was catering to the other crowd. It was just 4 of us and he could have done a better job at making it fun and more kid friendly. I think the tour was quite overpriced for what it is.
