What is the Zoology Zone Science Center?

The Reptile House & Rescue's Big Expansion!

Since March 2022, The Reptile House & Rescue has transformed a former women's clothing store into a "rescue zoo" in the heart of the mall, attracting over 25,000 visitors so far! Our focus on rescuing and rehabilitating animals has enabled us to give them a voice, using their stories to teach visitors about both the animals and the science behind their care.

Our recent growth has presented us with an exciting opportunity to create a premier educational facility, the Zoology Zone Science Center, in the former Commons building at Valley Park. This state-of-the-art immersive learning center will elevate the region's educational offerings and establish Valley Park as a must-visit destination.

What Is The Reptile House & Rescue?!

Education is Key!

Our overarching mission is to kindle a passion for science and conservation through education. We aim to achieve this by providing immersive, experiential learning opportunities, utilizing our animals as interactive educational ambassadors and incorporating hands-on science experiments. Our cutting-edge science center is designed around these same principles, with a focus on immersive, interactive learning experiences.


At the core of our educational philosophy are two guiding principles: first, to ensure that our guests have fun while learning, and second, to encourage accidental learning through hands-on experiences. This approach sets us apart from other educational institutions and allows our guests to fully engage with the subject matter.


Our commitment to education extends beyond the classroom walls. We enjoy taking our guests out into the natural world, exploring the local environment and wildlife, and discovering real-world applications of the concepts we teach. By providing engaging and memorable educational experiences, we aim to inspire a lifelong love of learning and a deep appreciation for the natural world.

Donate Today!

For the Community, By the Community!

Our goal to make Valley Park a true destination location is not just a goal for our organization, it is a goal for our entire region! We need the help of local businesses, business-owners, local and regional leaders, and community residents to build the Zoology Zone Science Center for generations to come!
