This post is probably the hardest post we'll ever have to make. While our hopes were to go further, our lives changed and circumstances made this impossible to continue. With saddened hearts, we will be closing the doors on Wild Willy's Reptile Zoo beginning June 1st.
We first wanted to allow time to talk with our staff and volunteers and then reach out to all of our customers who had encounters beyond the month of May, as we had to cancel those events and get everyone's refunds sent. Now that we have done that we want to announce to all of you. If you have an encounter booked this month, in April, or in May we will still be honoring those encounters. If your encounter was canceled then we've already spoken to you and refunded your booking.
We couldn't thank you all enough for all of the love and support over the last 8 years! Saying goodbye is hard, but our focus has to be on our family as we are dealing with some extremely hard circumstances. Family first and we hope you all understand that. An even bigger thank you to our staff and volunteers over the years who have helped us make this business what it was. We couldn't have done it without you all! You're forever part of the Wild Willy's family!
We pray blessings on each of you and wish you all the very best! Thank you all, God bless, and goodbye from the Wild Willy's Reptile Zoo Family!
