"My 8 year old niece and I had an absolute blast yesterday on our private tour of The Serpent Center! Husband and wife team Deena and Willy blew me away with their kindness, professionalism, hospitality, expertise and passion.
The first thing I said to them walking in was “I’m terrified of snakes” but they welcomed us regardless and quickly and made me feel at ease.
Deena and Willy both went above and beyond in several ways to give my niece a personalized and exciting experience that made her feel incredibly special; truly VIP treatment!
They are located just an hour from downtown Columbia in the small town of Vance. I felt we really got great value for the cost of the private tour and give them a 10/10 recommendation!"
