They do offer a military discount, which was a nice bonus, and you can purchase food throughout the park to feed different animals. My daughter's favorite part was getting to feed the monkeys -- such a fun hands-on experience for kids. There are so many opportunities to interact with the animals up close and really enjoy the experience. The Siberian tigers were HUGE and absolutely beautiful. They also had giraffes and so many other animals that we honestly didn't even get to see everything in one trip, so we'll definitely be back. They also offer a truck tour around the property, plus there's a playground area for the kids to enjoy. It does get pretty crowded, so I definitely recommend going early, but parking was plentiful. If you have children and you're looking for a fun family-friendly experience near Charleston, I highly recommend checking out Bee City Zoo.

I felt sad walking through most of this zoo. I believe the intentions are good but the execution…read morejust isn't quite there. I will start by saying all the animals appeared to me (non-animal professional in any way) to be healthy. In general the whole place just seemed a bit ignored as far as being maintained often. In the reptile room many of the enclosures had wallpaper peeling off, information that had been written on the glass was scratched/wiped off, and it overall didn't look very well kept. Some of the monkey's had lots of space and and some just had small, mostly concrete, metal cage enclosures to move around in. The bigger animals (tigers, camel, giraffes, etc) also had considerably small enclosures for the size animal they were. The penguin's and otters' little pools were barely filled with any water so swimming wasn't an option if they wanted (it was a pretty hot day) and had gross water. They weren't big enough pools for you to convince me they can't be drained and cleaned regularly. The penguins and otters also had lots of concrete for their habitat. The lack of enrichment was also really disappointing to see for most all the animals. It seemed like the patrons were the only enrichment most of them got to look forward too. Maybe this is a bit ridiculous but it annoyed me that Christmas music played at the excavator activity...its March. Again to me just a lack of attention to details. Overall it seems like they are trying to do the things for the animals but at a very bare minimum standard. The gift shop seemed to have the most investment into it of the entire park. Do better for these animals please, most of them, as your signs indicated, are endangered.

When I arrived just over an hour before closing, I was told that their various exhibitions of bird-related activity were already done for the day. Nonetheless, I was charged full price if I wanted to come in, an eye-watering $25. I've seen other places charge less under such circumstances, but that's a lot for an attraction regardless. The main reason I said yes was the veterinary clinic I passed on the way in; I have a soft spot for both medicine and owls. Having arrived, I meandered through several sets of cages where birds sat awaiting to be observed. Some of the birds were on the mend from various injuries. A wide variety of species were present; not just those local to the immediate surroundings. You couldn't expect to find more and more interesting birds in a place of this sort. The wiring around the birds does interfere with viewing, but given the size of the claws on some of those birds you definitely wouldn't want to have lax security. Overall the place was clean with well-maintained facilities; at least I could see the money was actually being spent. I was told that also had a plan for a massive bird evacuation in the (entirely likely) event that a hurricane might threaten this coastal facility. I did happen upon a smallish raptor of some sort getting some early falconry training while on a rope leash. Apparently some of their birds are bred and trained specifically for "educational purposes". Large birds are charismatic and interesting wildlife, and the sounds and sights were worthwhile. I wish I could have learned a bit more about the veterinary operations (as a human doctor, it is not entirely clear to me what you could realistically do for a bird).

I recognize the major sacrifice farms such as this one make to care for animals especially ones in need, but could you please please please reconsider using a nocturnal animal for daytime festivities? Aside from it being disturbing to watch the animal suffer, it was hard to explain to my children why a company who takes care of animals were allowing this nocturnal animal to be in such a gruesome environment.

I did purchase a pumpkin but the large ones were way more expensive than I'm willing to pay for something I can buy for 3-4x less. With that said, I like this place and I'll be back.
