Welcome to the world-renowned Reptile Gardens in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Reptile Gardens is a must-see family attraction no matter what your age. We have something for everyone, so bring your birthday parties, family reunions, boy or girl scout troops or any gathering for that matter - group rates are available! We maintain the finest collection of tropical plants and reptiles in the world. In fact, we have more species and subspecies of venomous reptiles than any other zoo or park anywhere!
