Have you seen the movie, We Bought a Zoo? This is very similar. It's like a farm with exotic animals. You walk through a 1.5 mile trail. It takes about an hour or longer. More

About 6 years ago, we discovered this little zoo. My children are now 13 and 17 yrs old and we travel to MB,SC every year and the one thing they constantly want to do, is to visit this zoo. It is very hands on and friendly. Some people have posted about the cages being old - however, they didn't remark... More

We enjoyed our day spent at the zoo. Unlike many large zoos, you can get pretty close to the animals here and get really good photos. More

Its a small zoo but has some cool animals. It is definitely more older fashioned and has some antique items that are usually not found at a zoo or are even zoo related but neat. Paths are dirt so I would not wear sandals as we did. It is descently priced, we rented one of their wagons which worked better... More

You walk through the "gift shop?" and smell all of the snakes and birds locked into cages and head out to the first cages of animals which have no bedding or grass just mud and some... More

We had a wonderful day at the zoo. Animals are upclose and ready for treats. Everything was in great condition along with the animals. I was hesitant at first because of some of the bad reviews but went anyways and was very happy. We spent a few hours at the zoo and had a blast! Any bad reviews are people... More
