Do you have a fear of spiders? We are sharing some facts about spiders to help you overcome your fear or phobia. #spider #fear #thereptarium
We can't wait to see you at The Reptarium! Bring family and friends to see our collection of animal ambassadors - snakes, alligators, tortoises, lizards, geckos, and more!

WHERE IS THE REPTARIUM LOCATED?
The Reptarium is in Southeast Michigan, and the address is 45559 Van Dyke Ave, Utica MI 48317.

WHEN IS THE REPTARIUM OPEN?
The zoo is open for General Admission ($10 per person) Fridays (4-8 pm), Saturdays (4-9 pm), and Sundays (3-8 pm).

DO CHILDREN NEED TO PAY FOR GENERAL ADMISSION AT THE REPTARIUM?
Since COVID-19, The Reptarium has made significant changes to ensure that our reptiles, staff, and guests are safe. We are now only allowing a limited number of guests inside per hour. AT THIS TIME CHILDREN UNDER 2 YEARS AND AGE ARE FREE.

DO I NEED TO PAY FOR GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS BEFOREHAND ONLINE OR CAN I PURCHASE WHEN I COME TO THE ZOO?
Because we only sell a limited number of tickets per hour, we do ask that customers pre-purchase their tickets online here.

If you are in the area and would like to visit, you are always welcome to knock at the door or stand in the check-in line and ask a staff member if there are any additional spaces available for that or a later time-slot.

WHAT IF I WANT TO SPONSOR AN ANIMAL AMBASSADOR AT THE REPTARIUM?
We are so appreciative of those who choose to sponsor an animal ambassador at The Reptarium. Your sponsorship goes to the direct care of the animal ambassador that you select.

The name or organization of your choice will appear on their cage for the time sponsored and will go on a sponsorship plaque that will hang in the Reptarium. Please allow up to 14 business days for your sponsorship plaque to be made.
$100 per month or $500 per year to sponsor a Reptarium animal ambassador.

DO YOU OFFER SPECIAL PRIVATE TOURS FOR SCHOOLS OR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS?

I FOLLOW THE OWNER BRIAN BARCZYK ON YOUTUBE; WILL BRIAN BE AT THE ZOO DURING GENERAL ADMISSION?
Brian's schedule is constantly changing, and we can never guarantee when he will be at the zoo. We know he appreciates everyone's support, and Brian does try to be there as often as he can.

I’m still terrified of spiders but only smaller ones for some reason but don’t have an issue with tarantulas I’ve had quite a few over the years and handle them with no problem. True spiders give me the creeps but I’ve been desensitizing myself by keeping multiple species of spiders because I honestly love them and enjoy watching them and observing them eat and love the variety of species. Yea I have quite a few different species now and they all hunt different, web different, and look and act different which is my favorite part so hopefully soon I’ll be completely over my fear of small spiders 🤞🏼

Bruce is the educator. Noah couldn't educate on wiping ones butt. He can educate us on how to be a not funny idiot.
