I visited the snake park in Kerala last week and I had a blast. The park is well-maintained and has a variety of snakes from different regions. I learned a lot about their habitats, diets, and behaviors from the informative guides. The highlight of the visit was the snake show, where the handlers demonstrated how to handle venomous snakes safely and humanely. They also explained the importance of snake conservation and how to avoid snake bites. I was impressed by their skills and courage. The snake park is a must-see for anyone who loves nature and wildlife. It is a fun and educational experience for all ages.

While the park is called a Snake Park, it also showcases collection of fish, crocodile, lizards and few other animals. The park is really well maintained. Please note that this is not a fully fledged zoo. One can spend a nice 30 to 60 mins here.

Snake park with a few other animals like monkeys, crocodiles, iguana, emu etc. Children will love visiting thus place.

'' Snakes , reptiles 🐍" world’s most beautiful, fascinating, and ominous creatures. Definitely you love it !!

It is a great place to visit with family. Like a mini zoo. There is an opportunity to learn about different types of snakes. There is also a nice aquarium. There is still a lot to improve. The premises are not very clean. Rest stations should be added. Daily maintenance seemed to be lacking.

Really Really Worthy!!! Kids and family can enjoy it a lot! And they have a 12D theater which costs 100 rupees per person which is also good! Everyone can spend some quality time with family and friends.

The Parassinikkadavu Snake Park was established by Social activists lead by Hon. Ex-minister of state, M.V. Raghavan on January 8th, 1982 at the site purchased from Kerala Government. This snake park is an offshoot of Pappinisseri ‘Visha Chikitsa Kendra’ intended for Snake bite treatments. The Pappinisseri snake bite treatment centre was established in the year 1964. This is a centre for curing patients of snake bite using the combination of Ayurvedic, Allopathic and Traditional practices. It was quite common that people bringing the victims of snake bites used to carry the snakes also, as alive, killed or hurt in many cases. Such snakes played a vital role in treatment since the treatment for snake bite differed for Vipers, Cobras, Kraits etc. It was easy for the physicians to provide immediate treatment once the snake is identified and the symptoms are tallying with the particular species of snake. The abundance in number of such captive snakes was a practical problem for the founders of the snake bite treatment centre. Understanding the magnitude of these incidences and to expand the research activities later in 1982 Parassinikkadavu Snake Park was established under the leadership of Sri. M. V. Raghavan the then President of Pappinisseri Visha Chikitsa Society with a noble intention for the conservation and protection of reptiles especially snakes and also to provide awareness for the protection of Wildlife and environment. The founders got inspiration from Sri. Romulus Whitaker, the famous conservationist and Herpetologist who was instrumental for the establishment of Snake Park and Crocodile Park in Chennai. Providing a practical opportunity to create awareness about the ecological significance of Snakes was the biggest motivation for Social activists of this region for establishing this Park. More than 50 lakhs people visited this Park during the last decade. This park has turned out to be significant education centre for students and general public for last 34 years. .
