About

The Isle of Wight Reptilarium is a new attraction set in the brick arches of Fort Victoria. The building has been themed into four distinct zones, each one housing species of snakes, lizards and insects from around the world that you would find in those zones in the wild.

There is a desert room, rainforest room, turtle temple and nocturnal room. The nocturnal room is a darkened night time room so you can watch the nocturnal creatures exploring their habitats.

With 33 exhibits in total, we advise allowing up to 2 hours for your visit, with our hand stamp system you can revisit as many times as you want on the same day which enables you to take in the other attractions fort victoria has to offer, enjoy a walk on the beach or stroll in the forest and then return to see if any of our inhabitants you were unable to spot have awoken.

Our turtle temple is a dedicated terrapin sanctuary providing a permanent home for unwanted pet terrapins that would otherwise have to be euthanised.
