Established in 1997 as the Creepy Crawly (CC) group, CC intially conducted their tours only on Sundays. The CC docents introduced visitors to the reptiles in the exhibits and took them for a behind-the-scenes look at the reptile and insect holding areas.

In early February 1998, the CC tours were stopped and replaced with discovery stations, which displayed am array of specimens such as skulls, skins, teeth and horns. The display stations at the Reptile House became a popular draw as visitors crowded round to view and touch the various animal specimens, which were carefully chosen to highlight the fascinating features of animals.
