Gramma Roses Petting Zoo
Zoo
👍👍 This is not your normal petting zoo. Imu's, kangaroos, Patagonia cavys, a pony, tortoises, snakes, birds, black swan, Llamas, chickens, tarantula, geckos, bunnies, birds and so much more. Linda, the owner, is the sweetest person you could ever meet. She loves her animals and shares them with all. Y...

Prehistoric World
Zoo
👍👍 So I do have a few negatives, I'll start with those-r I truly wish that prehistoric zoo had a full size venue rather than being cooped up and scattered in small buildings. This makes it very hard for families like mine (6 people) to walk around if anyone else is inside, and borderline dangerous for...

👍👍 Enjoyed our visit to the farmyard! Cheri is such a sweet woman and the animals are great! Like the website says, dress accordingly. This is a farm in the country and operates as such.

👍👍 This private zoo was simply outstanding. I heard about this place from a friend of mine, and I just had to take a private tour. I am an animal lover, but have never seen exotic animals up so close. And I never thought I would get that close to a skunk. The owners are most meticulous people you can m...

👍👍 I am the coordinator of a dog meetup group in Upstate South Carolina. I heard about this place through a friend and decided our group should go check it out because they allow on-leash dogs.
