Reptile Zoo News!

Hi Everyone!

So it has been a while since we’ve shared some Reptile Zoo News, and now is as good a time as any, because we’ve got lots of great offers and exciting things happening around here right now!

FREE TEA/COFFEE FOR EVERYONE IN JANUARY

Yep that’s right, beat those January blues with a visit to the Reptile Zoo and receive a free cup of tea or coffee with every adult admission! We know its miserable out there and if it’s not frosty it seems the wind is wrecking the place so why not visit us? Don’t forget we are a fully indoor Zoo so no matter what the weather is like, we’re always open AND lets be honest, who doesn’t like something for FREE :)

Ps, We also have FREE wifi!

SENIOR CITIZENS/OAPS SPECIAL OFFER

Attention all OAP’s/ Senior Citizens we have a great new offer just for you because we know that its not just little kids that love to visit our Zoo but you do too!

Every Wednesday throughout January and February we are offering OAP’s a special discounted admission of just €6 each!

So why not visit us on a Wednesday for just €6 and still receive your FREE tea or coffee, we also have copies of the Kilkenny Reporter newspaper for you to read and take home!

OUR TEAM IS GROWING!

As you may have seen on our blog over the past month or so, we have been on the lookout for someone new to join our ever expanding team!

We had tonnes of applications and this week we whittled them down to about 20 people or so, and our interview process has begun! We will be contacting our chosen candidate on Monday afternoon and as soon as they are settled in, they will do a guest blog post to tell you all how they are getting on!

AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME!

The Reptile Village Team love partnering up with the young people of Ireland for projects and fund raising initiatives and this year will see the launch of our very own Zoo Ambassador Programme!

I can’t give away too much about it as we’re not quite ready to launch it just yet, but what I can say is if you think you can raise money for conservation, become a vital member of our team and would love the chance to go on a herpetology expedition in a tropical jungle somewhere, then keep your eyes peeled, more info coming soon!

COMMUNIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS

This year we are fortunate enough to once again be very busy for the Communion and Confirmation season, BUT that’s exactly why we’re mentioning it here!

We don’t want you to miss out and we are booking up very quickly so if you are thinking of having the Reptile Zoo team visit your home or venue for your child’s big day, please get in touch ASAP as we don’t want to disappoint!

VALENTINES DAY COUPLES OFFER

Okay lads now don’t panic, V-Day is still a few weeks away (February 14th for those of you that may be unsure) but we are offering couples a special TWO FOR ONE ADMISSION OFFER on February 14th, 15th and 16th so why not have a date with a difference?

Michelle and Michael Wedding

Valentines Day will mark the second wedding anniversary of our Yellow Foot Tortoise Michelle and Michael and we are happy to report that they are still as madly in love as ever!

That’s all for now folks, but be sure to check out our next blog post in the coming weeks and as always if you have any questions or would like to make a booking please let contact us on info @ reptilevillage.net or by phone on 056 77 26757!

Santa is Coming to the Reptile Zoo!

We are very excited to announce that Santa and Mrs.Claus will be in the Reptile Zoo on Saturday December 14th from 12-5pm!

Christmas 2013 Poster

Santa will be here to see all the boys and girls and find out what they want for Christmas, he has promised us that he will bring small gifts for all the children that he will meet here in the Reptile Zoo.

Mrs.Claus will also be on hand to tell some stories, there will be fun face painting, a colouring competition, tea/coffee and refreshments for the bigger kids as well as all the usual animal encounters and trips into our tropical walk through enclosure!

The best part is, there is no extra cost, and that means more value for your money!

Christmas is Coming!

Christmas is Coming!

Okay now before you panic, we know Christmas is still 7 weeks away but we wanted to share some of our gift ideas with you, perfect for those of you that are unsure what to buy for family or friends and if you’re looking for a unique gift!

Looking for a unique, educational and affordable gift that will help an animal out too? Why not ‘Adopt an Animal’ in Reptile Village Zoo?! For just €25 you can adopt any of our animals and receive a fun information pack, poster and postcard about your chosen animal as well as a 20% discount card to use when you visit!

We have put together a list of animals that are on the IUCN Red List, which means that they need our help to preserve their species in the wild. Check out the list here:

https://reptilevillage.net/web/adopt-an-animal/

Remember you can adopt any animal in our Zoo and your adoption fee will go directly towards the upkeep of your chosen animal, helping us to provide him/her with all the food and care they need!

Your name will also be displayed on our ‘Wall of Adoptees’ to show our appreciation for your support!

For more info check out the link above or email [email protected] or call 056 7726757.

If animal adoption isn’t for you, then maybe a gift voucher is! Gift vouchers are available in any amount and can be used as payment for entry to Reptile Village Zoo or in our gift shop!

Vouchers for annual membership make a wonderful present too, it’s the gift that keeps on giving! Annual membership allows the member up to 12 visits in the 12 month period!

Child Membership costs just €30

Adult Membership costs €40

Family Membership (2 adults and 2 children) is only €120 which compared to normal admission prices is a saving of over €200!!

Vouchers for family passes or child admission are also available too, making a Reptile Village Gift Voucher accessible to all budgets!
