Charles Towne Landing, Charleston
Charles Towne is where the first permanent English settlement can be found. It was founded in 1670 and displays animals that were native to the state at that time in their animal forest.
The animal forest is a 22 acre natural habitat zoo where you can find animals like alligators bison, bobcats, foxes, cougars, bears, elk, wolves, white tailed deer and more.
There is even a life-sized replica of a coastal trader vessel called the Adventure. You can tour the landing site as well and watch archaeologists work at the site. Past discoveries that have been found there were of household items and artifacts, vineyards, ceremonial centers and camp sites.
Bike trails and walkways provide a different view to the area, putting you right in the midst of everything. You can even rent a bike if you haven't brought your own, or roller skate or jog. People have even been known to have a seat right in the middle of it all and have a picnic. Prices are entirely reasonable and they're open daily so you can decide whether to go early morning or any other time during the day without feeling as though you've missed something.
