Special Memories Zoo

I've heard of the Special Memories Zoo in Greenville from more than a few people. I've been meaning to take the kids there but always forget about it. This morning turned out to be beautiful without a cloud in the sky so into the van we jumped and away we drove. What a great place! It is privately owned and operated, everything is paid for by the admission to the zoo. When we walked into the zoo to pay we met Mowhawk, a 5 month old Spider monkey that was just as cute as can be. We found out he gets fed Similac formula, goes to bed in a playpen at the owner's home at 10:30 every night and wakes up crying to be fed by 6 am! Just like a baby! Avery just loved it! Special Memories also has probably the best petting zoo I have ever seen! They had baby lambs, deer, bunnies, kitties, wolves, turtles, pigs, cows, alpacas, just tons of animals. Carter really cracked me up though. I didn't really know how he'd be in there, but after a few minutes I set him down and he was off! I think he made it a goal to touch every animal there at least once!
