About Gifttierhaus e.V.
The Gifttierhaus in Eimsheim in Rheinhessen calls itself the zoo of venomous animals - a reptile house built around snakes, spiders and other venomous species, run by a registered association. Its stated aim is to teach rather than thrill: to show how varied and how worth protecting these often misunderstood animals are, to break down prejudice, and to explain venom, habitats and conservation.
It runs guided tours. The house has been closed for a thorough overhaul and states on its own front page that it plans to reopen in the middle of 2026, which is why it currently publishes no admission prices or opening hours.
Visitors can park in the designated parking area near the entrance of the zoo. Parking is free, making it convenient for families and groups. It is advisable to arrive early during peak times to secure a good spot.
