Sensory Reptile Room

Explore our Exo-Terra Sensory Reptile Room, where you can find a range of beautiful reptiles. 

The Sensory Reptile Room is available for FREE to members of the community 7 days a week.

How does our Reptile Room help those with mental health and special educational needs? 

  • It provides a place of sanctuary for those who require a quiet and calm environment.
  • It has been designed to help individuals with sensory disabilities to explore our wonderful rainforest like reptiles, while also being able to navigate themselves around with ease.
  • The low lighting and colours to induce calmness, helping people to reduce anxiety and nerves. 
  • The low level rainforest sounds add a measure of relaxation
  • Research shows that looking at nature and animals can help reduce blood pressure, reduces muscle tension and pulse rates in elderly people improving their mental and physical wellbeing.
