Bee City Zoo is hosting Teacher Appreciation Days on Wednesday, July 10 and Thursday, July 11, 2024. All teachers will receive free admission, and everyone in their group will be admitted at a discounted rate of $7 per person. Children ages 2 and under are free. This special event celebrates teachers and promotes community support.
Bee City Zoo is a hands-on interactive zoo that allows guests to get up close, pet, and feed some animals. It’s a favorite of ours! Guests can hand-feed monkeys, ringtail lemurs, alpacas, deer, goats, sheep, and pet bunnies. They will also encounter wallabies, antelope, tigers, snow leopards, serval cats, cavies, as well as many farm animals such as miniature horses and donkeys, turkeys, chickens, pheasants, and much more.
Guests can purchase food to feed certain animals. Please note that animals cannot be fed food from home, as this is a federal violation. All animal food must be purchased at the zoo. Additionally, guests have the option to book a Private Animal Encounter while at the zoo. Giraffe feeding schedules vary daily so check the website.
Bee City Zoo began with a love of honeybees and a passion for educating people about their importance. They offer a variety of honey and beeswax products, including pure raw honey, creamed honey, honey mustard, honey butter, beeswax lotions/skin creams, lip balms, soaps, candles, and many beeswax figurines. Bee City Zoo is dedicated to educating the public about the significance of honeybees, the art of beekeeping, and the process of harvesting honey.
You have the option to pack a lunch or purchase one at the Bee City Cafe. If you plan to dine at the cafe, please check its operating hours online before your visit. Picnic tables are provided for those with packed lunches, or you can choose to eat at your vehicle. Don't forget to bring your own water bottles for the day!
Givhans Ferry State Park is just 5 minutes away from Bee City Zoo, providing another option for your day visit to the area. If you enjoy camping and want to stay overnight, there are sites available for reservation at a fee, along with cabins for rent. Situated along the Edisto River, the longest free-flowing blackwater river in North America, Givhans Ferry State Park offers activities such as kayaking, trails, fishing, and seasonally, tubing.
