Reviews of Animal Forest (Zoo)

Jayme Bean

Animal Forest was a great part of Charles Towne Landing. The animals had wonderful habitats and the informational signs were detailed and really interesting. The animals all appeared happy and had enrichment and ample space. Animal Forest is worth the admission to the park alone.

Sweet history and walks.

Jeff Hughes

Great way to see animals in natural habitat

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.

A Small Zoo, you can see Bison, Bear, Deer, Bob Cat, Goat, Pig etc. Kids love to watch them.

Mike Bador

Charles Williams

Friendly staff. Good exhibits. Nice gift shop.

Summer is not the best time to go, all the animal hiding escaping the heat. Any other time of the year on the other hand, is awesom.

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.

Just some kinds of animals. Big forest but few animals.

It was a great visit but most of the animals were hibernating under the shade and I do not blame them because it was hot but overall a great experience will definitely go back.. make sure to take insect spray

Small but interesting, all indigenous animals

Adam Lorenz

Tanarra Mason

Beautiful scenery!!

We walked through the park a couple of times since out hotel was close by. We walked in the early morning when the park was empty to get some exerciser. We really enjoyed the evening and as the sunset the mood was stunning.

Emma Marques

Very child friendly

Part of the broader park, this is a small but nice zoo. Really well shaded and accessible for the kids. Worth a visit.

Brittany Smith

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.

Tommy Tucker

Cool place to visit for young and old and everyone in between

Jermaine McKnight

First time going since Hurricane Hugo devestated this place in 1989. I went in looking for a duplicate of what I remember. The forest is much better now, but needs the snakes back!

Cool animals, bald eagle

Kimberly Hudson

We love the Animal Forest at Charlestown Landing. We get to see native animals up close in a natural setting.

Francis Havlin

Brought my three girls and they loved the walk.

Alicia Parendo

Great walk, animals are fun to see. I can get in my 10,000 steps walking through the animal trail then a,little more. Makes walking easier when the surroundings are beautiful.

Kimberly Rogers

This is a wonderful little zoo right in the heart of Charleston. All the animals are indigenous to the area, which makes this a small history lesson in addition to a zoo. They have an outdoor classroom for school groups, too. Very nice little park, my kids loved it.

Luther Smith

We love the elk. He is majestic.

Ryan Phelps

Beautiful place that we didn't thoroughly get to enjoy like we wanted because nature in the South is scary!

VITA Leone

Really nice place for the day to go

Danielle Lynam

The walk is nice. Only saw a couple animals, a lot of exhibits were closed and the ones that weren't, the animals were hiding. Not much to do about that though. Great scenery.

R Colbert

Good way to spend time with family

Nate Oliver

The otter was great

Nice contextual exhibit of local flora and fauna that you wouldn't ordinarily get a chance to see.

Paul Mccormack

A great place for families and couples to stretch legs and learn a little
