![]() The height can be a fear factor and the way the harness is attached to the top of the course can make it harder for smaller kids to reach in order to move around the course. It was a good ropes course for the price! I do recommend having a parent or older sibling go up with a younger child if they're new to ropes courses. I even tried out the ropes course within the zoo (requires shoes w/ heel strap) which was priced at $7 for non-members. Animals included monkeys, gorillas, lions, tigers, snakes, birds of all kinds, goats, alpacas, bears, otters, tortoises, penguins, tropical fish, jellyfish, sea turtles, koalas, sloths, and so much more. The prices were fair for adults at $26 for how big of a zoo it is! There were some of every animal including giraffes you can feed, a kangaroo exhibit you can walk through, and sea lions you can stand next to. This was an amazing experience! The $5 parking is worth it if you are wanting to go to the botanical gardens/splash pad first or last on your visit. For adults the Brew at the Zoo is one of the best attractions around. They are fantastic and highly recommended. Please visit during the Halloween and Christmas events. More fans through out the park would add to the already amazing atmosphere and help create some more much needed cool zones through out. South Carolina (especially in the midlands) can get very hot and humid during the summer months and that heat can make visiting the park a less than pleasant experience if you are not use to the heat down here (heck even if you are □). If I was going to provide a critique, I would recommend more fans through out the park. The expansions keep coming and continue improving and evolving this Zoo into one of the best visits you and your family can make. They are very, attentive, and provide excellent service every time we are there. The staff do a great job of keeping the zoo very clean and safe. The layout of the zoo flows very nice to ensure you can enjoy each stop to see all that it offers during your visits. Riverbanks Zoo & Garden is fabulous! We absolutely love it here and have been visiting regularly for 10+ years. Please just announce it at the beginning, while your kissing up to the tour groups. Very rude to be honest and disrespectful of the talent. And yes in a small theatre they can see YOU. But the performers were great even though I know they can slightly see the movement around from the white shirts. It made the experience not as great as it could have been. I have also been a performer and still am and we love when the audience reacts and looks like they are having a good time. When the performers were LOVING it and asking people to get up and participate. And when the audience wanted to participate, the staff was telling people to sit down. Well they did not at the Buddy Holly show and it was very distracting to see the staff running around telling people to put their phones down. I’ve been to many many shows and performances of all types and they ALWAYS announce at the beginning of the show if you are allowed to take photos or videos. The theatre nazi’s will be chasing you down and literally almost running across the theatre to tell you to sit down or put your camera up. But beware, you are hot allowed to have “too much” of a good time. The theatre is a cute one, all good seats, and most of the staff is friendly and helpful. The asphalt roads are in poor condition, but consider all the good features, as well as the great price for staying overnight, it balances out to FIVE STARS. The restrooms/bathhouses were tidy, clean, well stocked and warm.Įxtensive improvements to walkways near and around the lake, retaining walls, and newly installed benches and swings were everywhere. It was clean, employees were very helpful, accommodating, and friendly. ![]() We stayed in the park 3 days recently in our RV and really enjoyed the freshness of the well maintained campground. Croft State Park: greatly increase and improve the trails signs!!! Without functional signs it is now harder to determine where the trails are. This is all good with the exception that their work has obliterated sections of many trails. Additionally, Croft has been very busy with woodlands maintenance, evidence of forestry mulching is extensive, mulching deadwood to reduce risk of out-of-control forest fires. No big deal, but irritating consider the careful effort we made to follow the trail. By the time we returned we'd liked well over 4 miles. With map in hand, and referring to the map dozens of times, a year ago my wife and I went on a 1.5 mile hike (well defined on the paper map). They are so bad that they will deter hikers who have experienced just how poorly marked the trails are from hiking in Croft as much as they might wish to. I'll start with the negative, which possibly should reduce this review to 4 STARS: the trail signs are terrible.
