Fondation Zinsou

Reviewed By 70ava - Beijing, China

modern, informative, free and good guiding. It was easily worth the 1.5 hours we spent there. Have a look at their shop and furniture covers - extremely colorful

Temple des Pythons

Reviewed By Boguszooo - Krakow, Poland

The temple is rather small, but they do have a room full of snakes - I would estimate 30-40 pythons of various sizes. You can safely take them in your hand and make the obligatory photos with the snake calmly resting on your neck (or in your hands). Its definitely a must-see when you are in Ouidah!
