Saturday we took a trip to Hollywild, which is an animal park north of Greenville. The name Hollywild came about because many of the animals are movie and TV stars! As we walked around the park, each enclosure had a list of appearances for the animals, many of which we had never heard of. A lot of the park is like a petting zoo where guests have a chance to interact with and feed the animals.
While Drake is still a bit young to take in all of zoos or animal parks, he is becoming more interested with each visit we make. This trip, he was especially interested in the horses and the peacocks.
The park also takes guests on a safari ride through a 70+ acre area where the animals are roaming free. Our safari was a bit delayed because Baby Girl, one of the buffalo, had escaped when the gate was opened for one of the other safari buses.
Baby Girl was finally corralled again and we were off! When I was little, we used to go to a animal park in Texas where they had a safari, and I was expecting something similar. I remember that park being more African animals and while this had some, there were also deer, cows, and horses.
