National Reptile Zoo Kilkenny Ltd

National Reptile Zoo Kilkenny Limited is a specialist wildlife attraction dedicated to the conservation, education and exploration of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Based in Hebron Business Park, Kilkenny, the zoo welcomes visitors seven days a week from 10 am to 6 pm, offering a flexible experience that can be enjoyed in an hour or stretched over a full day.

The zoo’s core offering centres on interactive animal talks held each hour, where knowledgeable staff invite guests to touch, hold and learn about a diverse collection of snakes, lizards, turtles, scorpions and spiders. Complementary facilities include the Explorer’s Mess café, a well‑stocked gift shop with quirky reptile‑themed merchandise, and ample on‑site parking (with special arrangements for campers). Regular themed events – such as camouflage workshops, STEAM‑focused metamorphosis sessions and seasonal celebrations – enhance the educational value for families, school groups and science enthusiasts alike.

Through its engaging programmes and indoor, climate‑controlled environment, National Reptile Zoo provides a safe, entertaining day out for all ages
