Full description
Have you ever dreamt of talking to snakes, arachnids and other exotic animals, just like Harry Potter?
Chanel the tarantula, Nagini the python and other charming creatures are waiting for you amidst the greenery of Cascina Norbiato, in the province of Padua, to help you discover their world during this one-hour experience. Your guide will explain how to interact with them and, at the end of the visit, you’ll be able to take plenty of souvenir photos!
It’ll be an unusual and original adventure – the perfect opportunity to overcome any fears and make some new friends!
What we will do
Please arrive 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Cascina Norbiato (PD).
Our guide will be there to welcome us warmly into her garden! The experience will begin with a general introduction, during which we’ll be given a simple explanation of how to handle reptiles and how to approach them. Afterwards, we’ll have the chance to meet the python Nagini and other creatures such as geckos, bearded dragons and corn snakes ( depending on which animals the organiser is looking after at the time) .
We’ll also get to observe the ever-so-charming tarantula, Chanel, as she rests in her terrarium and admire the shell of a giant snail!
At the end of the tour, we’ll relax with a soft drink or a coffee (included) , and anyone who’d like to can take an amazing souvenir photo with Nagini the snake or another reptile. Those feeling particularly nostalgic can even take home a piece of snake or tarantula skin as a memento of this experience!
The activity will last a total of 1 hour.
