We took a trip to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia recently. My wife and I had been wanting to take our daughter for a while, and we decided that this past Saturday was as good of a time as any to go. Our daughter is learning more and more about animals, and she’s getting good at recognizing them, and the sounds that they make. So we wanted to take her to see some of the animals up close.
Riverbanks Zoo In Columbia Is Just Up The Road
My wife and I have been to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia a few times, and we always had a great time. We wanted to share that with our daughter. From our house in Grovetown to the zoo was a little less than an hour, so it didn’t take long to get there at all. Once we got inside, we got right to it. We wanted to see some animals!
Thankfully most of the animals were out where we could see them. I think the lions were the only ones who weren’t out. However, we were able to see bears, tigers, giraffes, zebras, kangaroos and a whole bunch more. They also have an aquarium, a monkey exhibit, a sea lion tank, and a reptile house at Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia.
There are also other little attractions like the splash pad over in the botanical gardens. They also have a petting zoo area, a ropes course, a merry-go-round and lots of other cool stuff. There are even places to feed some of the animals.
Our daughter is almost two and I think she enjoyed herself as much as she could. We will definitely have to take her back when she’s a little older. And with the zoo being so close, that definitely won’t be a problem.
