Only about 90 miles from Charlotte, Spantanburg’s Hollywild Animal Park is home to over 500 rare and exotic animals, many of which have appeared in movies and commercials (no autographs, please). Visitors can hand feed and have personal contact with many of the animals, as well as participate in the “Outback Safari” guided tour of free-roaming animals. There’s also a gift shop, a concession stand and picnic shelters.
