It was great. The tortoise and turtles are very active and has interaction with the little ones. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to provide us some interesting facts about these little (and not so little) mystical creatures.

Our toddler enjoyed a lot while interacting (petting, feeding, taking selfies 🤳) with the tortoises and turtles here 🐢! They have a huge number of them. Take note that you can buy the food 🌱 in there if you want to feed the animals. Also don't forget to have a look around their museum! A must attraction to go to if you have small kids who are very eager to explore the 🌍!

My young boy loved it! It's a small but cosy place. We get to see a variety of different turtles, did some feeding and even interacted with the 1-2 turtles that are walking around in the open space. Will recommend for family and kids!

Should maintain more and wash up them more.esp those in tank should provide more scrubbing of their shells and also heater for them . Those at the pond site, some of the turtle neck are injured with open wound and bleed little . Other than that, all are very good and staffs are very friendly

Excellent place for children and adults to learn and interact with Turtles and Tortoises. There are also food available at the counter to purchase for feeding the turtle and tortoise 🐢. A very unique and educational family bonding activity.
