About
Snake World is a small reptile park off the A5 near Norton. Visitors often pair it with a trip to the nearby lion park. It suits families and anyone curious to see venomous snakes up close, behind glass. The Google profile now also carries the name Grilling Road Hide Out, so check what is running before you drive out.
The guides get the warmest words. Several visitors found them knowledgeable, and they enjoyed getting to hold a small snake. One visitor held a chameleon too, and there are turtles as well as some very large pythons. A few people call it a pleasant way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.
The upkeep is the recurring complaint. Reviewers mention dirty glass, empty enclosures and displays that have not been refreshed in a long time. One upset visitor found tanks with very little water and said the animals needed more care. Even the positive reviews say the snakes deserve better conditions.
It is rated 4.1 from about 150 Google reviews. That is fair for a short, hands-on stop, as long as you go in expecting a modest set-up.
