Decently large Zoo. It was under construction when I went and so I didn’t get to see all of the zoo under the time constraint I was in. The map is semi confusing but I still enjoyed the animals they have.

Wilmington NC - small roadside zoo. Went years ago when I lived in Wilmington (2011-2015). I enjoyed it. Loved the first time most because they had a giraffe named Jack who would come to the fence to greet you if you called him. Then he got replaced ...

Georgia aquarium is another place that has the hype but doesn’t live up to it. It’s a decent size aquarium but average in animals. Took my nephew and we made it through super quick. The shows were good though. So my thoughts are if you are already in...

Zoo’s that aren’t worth it

Zoo’s that will upset any animal lover and Zoo’s/Aquariums that just aren’t worth the hype.

Gives every meaning to Road Side Zoo. If you want to show the abuse of Joe Exotic this is the place. Bhagavan “Doc” Antle owns this “safari” and is being ran by his son and daughter.
