There are so many activities to choose from in the Myrtle Beach area that it can be confusing which entertainment options to choose from. Being that it has been so unusually cold out we were just about to give in to check out Ripley's Aquarium when the sun started shining this weekend and we decided to enjoy some outdoor time and go to the zoo instead. Alligator Adventure was better then we expected and so glad we choose it for our family trip. We were so impressed by the exhibits! Not only did they seem well planed out, but the exhibits were easily accessible for our toddler so she could run from place to place to see things without needing to be lifted up - a very unexpected bonus prize! This "zoo" had more alligators and crocodiles then you could ever imagine, in such varied species as well. There were typical American Alligators in floating ponds everywhere you turned, endangered Chinese Alligators, and rare Albino Alligators too! The variety of crocodile species was a treat, but the most incredible was Utan, the King of the Crocs, who is believed to be the largest croc in captivity in the United States weighing over one ton and length of 20feet! He was so impressively massive! There were snakes, flamingoes, monkeys, parrots, lemurs, kangaroos, tortoises, and many other animals to see as well and more info can be found on the park website
here. So glad we took the trip to see these wonderful animals, especially because our tiny tot had a blast! I highly recommend it for bringing kiddos if visiting North Myrtle Beach... we even got to
pet a small American Alligator too - super cool!
