There’s an animal park in the upstate that gives new meaning to the terms “interactive” and “hands-on.” Hollywild Animal Park just outside Spartanburg, South Carolina is home to more than 500 animals, most of whom roam freely around the property. This engaging and fun park is one that everyone in South Carolina should visit at least once.
Hollywild Animal Park has evolved over the last four decades from a few grazing animals on a private farm, to a full-scale animal sanctuary where visitors can have a hands-on experience with many different species.
If you haven't visited Hollywild Animal Park yet, the regular season ends on October 23, 2016 and starts back up in March 2017. But don't worry - there's a special event in the meantime.
Walk through Santa's village, enjoy a bonfire, meet Mrs. Claus and much more! More information on this seasonal holiday event and pricing can be found here.
