Animal Forest

Time to brush up on your history because this place is full of it I thought I was just coming to a place to see animals but I was in for a surprise this place has a museum ,beautiful gardens, a outside zoo,a African cemetery, old battlefields with canons and bunkers also a dock where the ships used to import and export goods and my personal favorite is the house where u can plan a wedding and eat outside on the patio all at the same time this is an excellent place to bring your family just be prepared for a whole day of walking unless u rent a bike from the museum but still great place to visit

Animals are too far apart so you have to do a ton of walking and aren’t allowed to take drinks inside with you, some exhibits were closed due to COVID but that was understandable. Lots and lots of big writing spiders everywhere.

Enjoyed spending time with my family here because I don't get a lot of time to spend with my loved ones, but........ I'm sad to say that these poor animals were suffering from malnutrition to say the least. All of the wolves looked as though bugs were eating their poor ears up. One of those babies was missing the tips of it's ears. One of the bears (that was laying against the fence) had a chunk of hair missing from its back left leg. He or she obviously had some sort of infection from the looks of the wounds. The otter & birds water was disgusting. The puma was very skinny & sickly. I do understand that all of these issues happen naturally in nature, but that's just the thing..... These caretakers are to mimic natural habitats while also making sure these sweet babies are well taken care of & whomever is responsible should be down right ashamed. I won't be returning until something changes & those animals get the proper care & love they need & deserve.

This is a really good place to bring kids of you want to test out going to the zoo. It's smaller and mostly shaded. My kids love going. Plus, you can walk around the rest of the park and take in all the historic site areas too.

A beautiful place, not too many animals but it fulfills its purpose, showing the history and animals exist there in thr past. Nice to walk it, beautiful trees and it is a good way to bring kids close to nature. Tickets are not that expensive and they totally worth every cent. After that, go to folly beach and you had an amazing day.
