4.1/5)Discover more about British reptiles and 
amphibians and how they are being conserved in the New Forest.
Specially created display enclosures allow you to safely study these animals.
We have the only collection of all the native lizards, snakes, frogs and toads, including Britain's only venomous snake - the adder - and rarest lizard - the sand lizard.
In addition to reptiles and amphibians, the New Forest Reptile Centre is home to 'A Date With Nature in the New Forest' which affords an opportunity to see birds of prey close up on nest cams This project is a collaboration between the RSPB, along with the New Forest National Park Authority, the Forestry Commission and Carnyx Wild.
There is also a self guided trail through the forest and woodland picnic area.
The New Forest Reptile Centre is open from Easter until the end of September from 10am – 4.30pm.
