I want to apologize in advance for the pictures you are about to see. I left our camera battery at home and didn't realize it until we were 4 hours away. I had to use my outdated cell phone!
If you have ever traveled I-95 South you've come across Pedro's South of the Border! It is an enormous tourist attraction and to call it "cheesy" would be an understatement. It's that hidden gem, that total tourist trap, but worth the bucks you spend on it! We decided to shell out the $16 at Pedro's Reptile Lagoon. It was a great way for W.A. to burn off some steam after being strapped in the car seat for 4 hours, with another 4 still to go.
Every alligator, crocodile, and snake was behind a double chain link fence or double pane glass. There were also sea turtles in aquariums and a huge tortoise at the end of the exhibit. It was a winding path of reptiles and no where but straight to go. So we just let W.A. do his thing.
The most exciting part of this lagoon was that there were TWO green mamba snakes. If you aren't educated on snakes, the BLACK mamba is the most poisonous snake in the world. The green mamba comes right behind. I am NOT a snake lover, but I had to admit even these snakes were beautiful creatures. It was also nice to learn about these snakes from their owner, a Tanzanian man who was right there on duty.
Another perk was that we made it during feeding time for one of the smaller snakes: gross, but totally a "boy" thing.
Pedro's South of the Border is a great place to break up a long trip with a toddler. I wouldn't make it a final destination!
Cheers!
