Once you exit the Mountain Parkway at the Slade exit, there is a Rest Area. 

Turn into the Rest Area.

Immediately after turning into the Rest Area, turn left on L&E Railroad Place.

Once you turn left onto L&E Railroad Place, continue past the caboose and the left side of the Visitor Center and follow the slight curve. 

Once you round the curve, you will see a bridge over the creek to the right. 

Turn right and go over the bridge.

Once you cross the bridge, the Kentucky Reptile Zoo is on the left.  

After turning left you will see our gravel parking lot and a small beige building (our gift shop).

Enter through the gift shop and enjoy your tour!
