One of the highlights of our visit to Myrtle Beach was a day at Alligator Adventure. The initial impression one my get of a place with this name is a roadside attraction, but Alligator Adventure is actually a small zoo with a large number of animals in spacious enclosures, mostly alligators and crocodiles, but also a good number of reptiles, birds, and some mammals from all over the world. It helps to visit with an 8-year-old gatorphile and absorb his enthusiasm, but I think it was a fun place to visit and learned a bit about the animals. Another highlight was the animal demonstrations where we go to touch and hold a small gator, turtle, and a ball python.
