About Reptilia
Canada's Largest Indoor Reptile Zoo
Reptilia Zoo & Education Centre is dedicated to reptile education, conservation awareness, and responsible animal care. Through interactive exhibits, educational programming, and community outreach, Reptilia works to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of reptiles and amphibians.
With more than 75% of Reptilia’s animal residents being rescues or surrendered animals, we believe it is our responsibility to extend our circle of compassion to species that may not look like us, but are no less deserving of care, respect, and protection.
