Zoology Zone Science Center is a nonprofit reptile and amphibian science center in Hurricane that runs a hands-on summer day camp for children ages 6 to 11. Campers get up close with snakes, alligators and other animals while doing experiments, crafts and STEM activities, and the week ends with a family nature hike. The center houses over 100 reptiles and amphibians and operates as a rescue.

★★★★★Cheslea BrownGreat place that offers some handling of reptiles and so informative. The owner is great and just a cool place to explore.
★★★★★jordan searlsWe had an awesome time at the birthday party today. I loved how the zookeepers still took the time to show and talk about other animals around the exhibit after the party. Great staff. Great environment. Very thankful for this place.
★★★★★Amanda PWe booked a party at Zoology for my son’s 5th birthday and I couldn’t be more pleased! Staff is extremely nice, polite, and helpful as well as knowledgeable on the different reptiles they have. We absolutely loved getting a first hand show of some of the reptiles and the kids even got pictures with some! If you have a kiddo that loves reptiles this is the place to go for a party or just a day trip. We will definitely be back :)
★★★★★Jonathan OrbachMe and my family of all ages thoroughly enjoyed this spot! The staff clearly love their animals and it shows! Great hands on stuff and very inexpensive!
★★★★★Amber GillenwaterWe attended a homeschool field trip at Zoology Zone. It was a great experience! The staff members were wonderful, and we had so much fun. The owner was very knowledgeable, and he taught us so much about science in a couple hours. The zone had many hands on activities for small children, and my older son enjoyed the hurricane simulator. My kids loved the experiments and all the reptiles.
