Scales Expo can be more than a family outing. It is also an easy friends-day plan for adults who want something different this weekend.

Scales Expo comes to the South Florida Fairgrounds at 9067 Southern Blvd. in West Palm Beach on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14, 2026. The show is open Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM.

This post is written for friend groups, couples, animal lovers, and adults who want a casual daytime weekend plan. Whether someone is already searching for a reptile show in South Florida or simply looking for a different weekend plan in Palm Beach County, Scales Expo gives them a clear reason to visit.

Why this is a good fit for friend groups / adults

A walk-through expo gives friend groups something to explore at their own pace. It is casual, easy to talk through, and more memorable than another standard lunch-only plan.

  • Invite friends who like animals, oddities, photography, or local events.
  • Walk the vendor floor and compare favorite animals.
  • Make it a daytime plan before dinner or nightlife.
  • Use the ticket link to coordinate the group ahead of time.

Creators, educators, and animal people make the weekend more memorable

The Scales Expo site also highlights a meet-and-greet style experience with creators, educators, and local reptile enthusiasts. That gives the event another reason to appeal beyond traditional reptile shoppers: visitors can ask questions, take photos where permitted, and connect with people who spend their lives around reptiles and exotic animals.

Before you go, check the official Meet & Greet page for the latest guest information and any updates.

How to plan your visit

Tickets are available for one-day and two-day admission. The official ticket page lists general admission options for adults and children, including free admission for children 5 and under. Families, first-time visitors, and reptile hobbyists can choose the pass that fits their weekend.

Quick guest reminders

Scales Expo is designed to be safe and family-friendly. Before attending, review the event rules. Key reminders include no outside animals, children should be supervised, and guests should ask vendors before taking photos of animals, displays, or booths.
