If you’re looking for something fun to do with the family this summer, don’t overlook Riverbanks Zoo & Garden in Columbia.
Between the animal exhibits, giraffe feeding, educational demonstrations, playgrounds, splash areas, the botanical gardens, and the Saluda Skyride, there’s enough here to easily make a full day out of it.
I’ve visited several times, and it’s still one of my favorite family-friendly attractions in South Carolina.
Have you been? What’s your favorite exhibit?
