This is a MUST GO. For adults, or adults and kids. It was my husband and myself and our two girls 8 and 9. We got there around 11 and were straight away amazed because Peacocks were just free roaming around! So cool! Then, we were so surprised at how cheap the admission was, even when adding a souvenir cup... More

An excellent zoo and was very reasonably priced, the staff was very friendly. The general location of the zoo, in relation to the beach tourist venue is great. It was very noticeable as well as notable, that many small children were enjoying themselves, feeding the animals and seeing rare and unusual animal species up close and personal. Waccatees' rural and... More

Before we got to the zoo, my son told me that he was tired of going to zoos and would rather do something else. I told him to give it a try and be nice, because his sister LOVES animals. Once we got there, my son realized that he could feed most of the animals. He ended up absolutely loving... More

Soo many different animals on an up close nature walk and ability to feed most of them. Hidden gem and a great place to take kids.

We took our grandson here a couple years ago. The entrance price was very reasonable. Many of the animals can be feed by hand, so get a bag of peanuts when you start the tour. This zoo is not your normal zoo in that it has a lot of different animals. Many species of birds, plus pigs and other animals... More

If you're someone who wants to complain about animals in cages...don't go here. If you are someone who wants to see a wide range of animals and get a lot of information about them...don't go here. But if you are someone like me...who has two small children, needs a family friendly activity in a nice shady place, and wants to... More

We always make a visit to the Waccatee Zoo when visiting Myrtle Beach. The zoo is small but nice and a reasonable price for Myrtle Beach. My biggest complaint about the zoo is that the animal enclosures are incredibly small for many of the animals. There is plenty of space where they could expand but they continue to keep the... More
