Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia is home to more than 2,000 animals and a colorful botanical garden. Visitors can feed giraffes, watch penguins, and cross a treetop rope bridge.
It is one of the most loved zoos in the Southeast, famous for its hands-on animal encounters. Families come for the sea lions, the aquarium, and the pretty gardens beside the river.
From lions and elephants to koalas and flamingos, there are over 2,000 animals to meet.
Kids can gently feed the tall giraffes and watch playful sea lions splash and dive.
The botanical garden across the river bursts with flowers, butterflies, and shady walking paths.
