Fantastic experience: It was amazing! He is so knowledgeable, the presentation was awesome for both kids and adults, and they had an amazing variety of reptiles on display. Got to hold a snake, see an inland taipan AND a mangshan, and he talked with us for a while after on things to do in Salzburg. Cannot recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: For all those who love reptiles, amphibians and arthropods (or even those who are just curious), I wholeheartedly recommend booking a tour of Welt der Gifte with the excellent Dr. Nils, an expert on everything poisonous. It's an engaging, hands-on educational tour for all ages, where you can learn the true value of substances and creatures that may seem scary at first. 10/10, please visit!
