Brookgreen Gardens Brookgreen Gardens is a unique melding of art, nature, and history. http://www.Brookgreen.org

Brookgreen Gardens is a National Historic Landmark with the most significant collection of figurative sculpture in an outdoor setting by American artists in the world and has the only zoo accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums on the coast of the Carolinas. Named by TripAdvisor as One of the Top Ten Public Gardens in the US and one of the Myrtle Beach area’s most dearly loved attractions, Brookgreen Gardens' combination of art, history, and zoo touches the heart and teaches the mind. Boat rides turn into history lessons, a butterfly house becomes a conservation class, and an Enchanted Storybook Forest engages children’s imagination.

Watching the Lowcountry Zoo and Floyd Family Farm animals is always time well spent!

And we’re pretty sure the Spanish Goats might be top of many guests (and zookeepers) list. They’re curious, playful, and just plain fun. But for our animal care team, watching is also an essential part of the job.

Observing how each animal, moves, plays, eats and generally interacts is important to note in case changes occur that may need extra attention.

Which animal is your favorite to watch?

Get inspired this pumpkin season 🎃

As an AZA-accredited zoo, we love shining light on SAFE species, especially the programs we take part in. We're proud to highlight the North American Monarch and American Red Wolf—both SAFE programs include a focus on recovery and population growth.

We carved our own pumpkins using the AZA SAFE species-inspired templates, and you can join in! Choose your species, grab your carving tools and give wildlife a place on your porch. Help spark a conversation about the species behind the design—you never know what impact your pumpkin might make.

Big bad wolf? Let’s rethink that!

This National Wolf Awareness Week we want to highlight the importance of wolves in the wild because they deserve a better story. Wolves help keep a balanced ecosystem by regulating prey species and strengthening local habitats.

Seeing wolves in the forest isn’t scary, it’s actually a sign of a healthy ecosystem. It’s when we don’t see them anymore that we should be fearful.

Here at Brookgreen, we are part of the SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) program to keep this critically endangered species from disappearing. Your ticket purchase, membership, and donations all aid in allowing us to continue to do conservation work across the Zoo and Gardens.
