  5 Stars across the board! My kids and I ventured to LegaSea to check out the animals as part of our homeschool day. It was a bit of a hike from our hometown but it was worth it! Clean facilities, amazing staff support, and the interactions with the animals was top notch. We learned so much and I truly appreciated how friendly and educating the staff team was as my kids peppered them with questions throughout our time there. Highly recommend for a real-hands on experience with all these incredible creatures. My kids especially loved holding the snakes, the fish spa, and engaging with the sting ray tank.

  Absolutely love this place! The staff are amazing. They're happy to answer any questions, and they make sure everyone gets as much hands on time with the animals as they like, as someone that grew up watching Brian Barczyks YouTube channel, it was awesome seeing his dream come to completion, as well as getting to see and hold some of the animals I grew up watching on youtube! This hands on- with exotic wildlife experience is one of a kind, and a must see for anyone coming to Michigan. Brian would be so proud of Lori and the crew for making his dream come true

  We visited for our daughter’s 16th birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. This was our second trip to the Reptarium but our first time experiencing the LegaSea Aquarium. We’ve been following the aquarium’s progress since the very beginning, so finally seeing it in person was incredibly exciting. Our private tour exceeded every expectation. My daughter picked the binturong encounter, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the entire day. Stitch was so interactive and fun—we absolutely loved spending time with him. We spent hours (truly, hours!) exploring both the LegaSea Aquarium and the Reptarium. It was exactly what our daughter hoped for, and it made her birthday absolutely wonderful. Jay, Mike, and all the employees — but especially Camilla — were fantastic. They took the time to educate us and talked with us like we were friends, not just annoying customers lol. The stingray encounter was amazing and ended up being one of our kids’ favorite experiences. My son absolutely loved the fish spa, too! There are so many fun things to see and do there — it’s impossible to get bored. We would absolutely recommend 💯 making time to stop in at the LegaSea Aquarium and the Reptarium! We really felt like a true VIP while we were there.

  Amazing place to visit. Very interactive. The staff are amazing and there is so much to see and do. I never dreamed a reputation would make my top places to visit but this is a must see. My son and I spent the whole day and plan to go back with my partner. We did the VIP tour package which honestly was worth the price. My son got to hold or touch so many reptiles he couldn’t stop smiling. We ended our tour with the encounter with The capybara encounter and Jave was so awesome! However it was Brillo who ended up being our star of the day. Definitely don’t skip this if you are ever anywhere even remotely close. It’s a unique experience that shouldn’t be missed

  Absolutely fantastic experience today. We participated in a private birthday for my niece and we can't say enough good things about Beth and the Reptarium! She was amazing, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and wonderful with the kids and adults alike! Five stars for her and that portion of our experience! We also greatly enjoyed our visit to the LegaSea portion. It was great to be able to see a surprisingly wide variety of animals, as well as interactive exhibits and the ability to meet and handle some animals! The only critique we had was that we would have liked to see signage on each tank/enclosure with information on the animals inside it. We found ourselves asking "what is this?" Numerous times during our unguided exploration of LegaSea. We loved our time overall, and will definitely be back! One more big thank you to Beth for her time and such an amazing experience!
