The Reptile Centre is currently closed.

We understand that our visitors are keen to get back to their favourite places, but our top priority is to keep everyone safe. As you might expect, the coronavirus guidelines mean some things need to be adapted and things will be a little different, but we aim to re-open in summer 2021.

The New Forest Reptile Centre houses a unique collection of all the native lizards, snakes, frogs and toads, including the adder, the only venomous species of snake living in Britain.

Please note the centre is not open all year round. For more details please refer to the visitor information.
