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

We go to a lot of Zoo's when we travel, cause we love animals. This one is a good one. Well kept grounds, animals looked good.

Reasonable price for a great zoo. Take your time to look at the animals. It reminded me more of a wild life refugee than a zoo. My daughter said it was her very favorite zoo. (she is 21) I would go again if we were in the area. Our 3 year old granddaughter loved it. Lots of variety of animals... More

I'm not sure the other posters were at the same zoo. A friend and i went on a lark one afternoon in late Feb. and found it really nice. The place was very clean, on the grounds and in the enclosures. The animals looked comfortable, they were up walking, swinging or otherwise doing what animals do. I am so used... More

Waccatee zoo was a blast! My boyfriend and I spent all afternoon there. We enjoyed feeding the animals. We did feel bad that the bigger animals seemed to be in small enclosures. It's a really fun place and cheap

I am reading some of the reviews from people who loved this zoo and commented on how well kept it was and animals treated like pets etc... and I'm in shock!!! Did I go to the same zoo??? I thought the zoo was disgusting and there were sick animals in almost every enclosure. The enclosures could not possibly meet any... More

We went to this zoo while in myrtle beach and were disgusted by the animals living conditions. (incredibly small cramped cages, garbage & rubbish everywhere, water not seemingly available for most animals). Please do not take your families here and support this animal cruelty.

so many animals much more than you would expect, it was a family run business and most animals are treated as family pets, unlike a traditional zoo this is more of hiking through the woods and seeing the wild life although yes most have to be cagged. Certain times of year you can see the egrets nesting and that is... More
