It is really incredible to be a partner to Reptile Gardens in their efforts to continue to create lifelong memories for their visitors and great lives for their animals! It's an honor to have helped envision this new facility with them. Of course, we didn't do this alone - our longest partner out there on this project has been SECO Construction. While we miss Neil, Ethan is definitely opening (and building!) new doors! We pulled in a few rock star design partners to help - CONTXT Architecture & Design, the Alberston Engineering division of RESPEC, and Precision Mechanical. Thanks Team!
This team understood the mission at Reptile Gardens to make Damon's Tortoise House a great place for the four legged animals, and a fun place to visit for the two legged animals. The care and understanding that the staff out there has for what provides true quality life for their animals is unsurpassed. The story that led to this new facility is both tragic and uplifting. We look back to remember our lost friends and look forward to create something that that honors them and creates opportunities for new growth. That's what this facility will be - a new chance for us to learn about these incredible creatures, all year round, while they are able to live comfortably in an expanded facility built for them first.
Watch for the grand opening in 2027 - we don't want to miss it. Neither do you!
We can't say enough about how much we admire Reptile Gardens and their staff. The deep care they have for the animals, grounds, and visitors inspires us every day. Working with you all is a true honor.
