The Reptacular Ranch Foundation is dedicated to inspiring curiosity, compassion, and respect for animals and the natural world. Our mission is to provide underprivileged communities with meaningful, hands-on experiences in life sciences—allowing children and families to learn about, interact with, and develop an appreciation for a wide variety of species, from reptiles and amphibians to arthropods, parrots, and farm animals, including camels.
Located in the heart of the Angeles National Forest, our ranch offers a unique opportunity for urban families to reconnect with nature, experience outdoor education, and build a deeper understanding of the world’s diverse ecosystems. Through interactive learning and animal encounters, we strive to make environmental education accessible, engaging, and unforgettable for all.
The purpose of The Reptacular Ranch Foundation is to bridge the gap in access to life science education by providing underprivileged and urban communities with immersive, hands-on animal experiences. Through interactive learning opportunities and direct engagement with reptiles, birds, amphibians, arthropods, farm animals, and camels, we aim to spark curiosity, encourage empathy, and foster a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.
Our foundation exists to create an inclusive space where children and families can explore, learn, and connect with nature—right in the heart of the Angeles National Forest—promoting environmental awareness, conservation values, and the joy of discovery.
