Riverbanks Zoo & Garden not only serves to protect rare and endangered wildlife and wild places, but also safeguards a number of South Carolina’s significant historical landmarks. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973, Riverbanks’ 170-acre site has a deep-rooted history dating back to the early 1800s with South Carolina’s textile industry and the Civil War. Today visitors can view structural remains that reveal this rich past from several vantage points within the Zoo & Garden in addition to feeding the Giraffes and interacting with the animals at Riverbanks farm.

And now I’m about to give you a lesser-known secret regarding Riverbanks Zoo.  I know a way you can get in for F-R-E-E.  

Not only do they understand plants and animals, but people.  They somehow know that we’re getting cabin fever - and for the months of January and February, you can get in for FREE on Fridays!

This is from their website:

Combat those winter blues with Free Fridays. Residents of Richland and Lexington counties receive free admission to Riverbanks Zoo and Garden on Fridays during January and February. Bring a valid driver’s license for proof of residency.

Sounds like a fabulous time to me!  See you on Friday!
