The experience of a lifetime! Educational & Entertaining. I can not say enough wonderful things about this adventure. You may think its a bit pricey but it is worth every penny. You walk away with an experience like no other. I will definitely be going back again next year.

There are not enough positive words to describe how fantastic this experience was. We flew down just for this experience and it was worth it. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget! Don't think about it just go! 

Better late than never for this review? My husband and I visited Myrtle Beach Safari on June 11, 2015. We were absolutely amazed at the animals -- all healthy, happy and well-taken care of -- and the team of people who introduced us to the animals. The team was fabulous -- friendly, informative and TOTALLY dedicated!

Absolutely the very best attraction that I have done/experienced in Myrtle Beach!
