Reptile Adventures on the Double

Looking for family activities in Frederick, Maryland that don’t involve folding laundry or bribing your children with snacks? Then climb aboard Reptile Adventures on the Double, a truly spectacular vintage London double-decker bus tour that mixes city sightseeing, laughter, and live lizards into one gloriously chaotic day out!

Your adventure begins in Downtown Frederick, where our enormous yellow double-decker awaits, gleaming like a misplaced banana among the cobblestones. Once aboard, you’ll be greeted by our Clippie (that’s British for “guide with excellent posture and an unpredictable sense of humour”), who will lead you on a scenic and slightly unhinged tour through Frederick’s historic streets. Expect fascinating local stories, spontaneous singalongs, and the occasional warning about what not to feed an iguana.

The second half of this grand voyage, the bus makes a dramatic stop for a live reptile show with Wolfe’s Exotic Encounters in Frederick! You and your brave offspring will come face-to-face with snakes, turtles, lizards, and other scaly ambassadors of chaos, each guaranteed to produce shrieks, laughter, and at least one “Mum, can we keep it?” moment. Educational? Absolutely. Sensible? Debatable. Unforgettable? Completely.

So if you’re searching for things to do with kids in Frederick, fun Maryland family tours, or a Frederick double-decker bus ride that includes actual reptiles, history, and humour, this is your golden ticket.
