We had the coolest time at Charleston Sloth and Exotics!! Henry and Heather are super personable and knowledgeable about their animals and you can tell how much they really love what they do. If you’re expecting some big fancy op, that’s not what you’ll get here. And I wouldn’t change a thing. You will get one-on-one time with each of the animals and a hands on experience that you can’t get at a zoo or other facility. Henry and Heather answered all of our questions and let us handle the animals at our own pace. Walking the anteater and cuddling the opossums was the highlight of the trip/year/decade . We’re so thankful to have stumbled upon CSE and will def be back!

Heather and her husband were extremely personable and helpful for our tour at Charleston Sloth and Exotics! We did a custom tour for a proposal in our tour group and they were extremely flexible, generous, and involved to help us make it special. The animals are tremendously taken care of and are such a joy to meet and interact with. I would recommend this experience to anyone- children, those with disabilities, adults, locals, tourists, etc. The tour is great for all ages and is such a learning experience!

We greatly enjoyed our time. We had plenty of time with each animal. We were never rushed. Henry and Heather were very knowledgeable and were obviously passionate about caring for all their animals. It was well worth the trip for all of us. Would strongly recommend going if you love animals.

I loved it. It was perfectly timed to 90 mins. Very casual and very intimate. They separated the group into two for some distance which was nice. Seriously a one of a kind experience. Never in my life did I think Id be able to be so close and personal with these exotic animals. Photo ops, hugs and feeding time for everyone. Worth the money. The owners were kind and easy to talk to.

Excellent guides, kid friendly, and great photo ops! Our 4 kids had a great time and it was a fun morning experience before we headed to the beach. The possum was our favorite :)

We left after 15 minutes. The small sheds where the animals were kept in cages smelled horrible inside. Even the kids were grossed out and wanted to leave. If you want to walk an ant eater on a leash in some dirt and look at animals in tool sheds inside a cage with no windows then pay the money. Otherwise I would not recommend to anyone. Only positive was that our money hopefully went to at least feed the animals.

Wasnt what we expected.. it was just 2 sheds in the middle of a field. Very tiny sheds at that. The animals were cool but for 120 for 3 people its way overpriced just to hang out in a shed and walk in a small field. I will be honest about the environment, they said they are up to standards but honestly was just a shed with a poster up for the sloth to make it look like a rainforest and possums were in the same shed. I mean 5 people could hardly stand comfortably in these sheds. I am glad we could see these animals and especially the sloth but I wouldnt spend that much money again. The photos that are attached to the site is not what it actually is either

This was an incredible experience that I wouldnt trade for anything!! It is not everyday that you get the chance to walk an anteater and hand feed a sloth. Henry and Heather are an incredible couple who open their home up for us to share the joy of their animals. They offer a very unique tour of all the animals they own, they provide a great educational experience, and so wonderfully take care of their animals! I couldnt recommend this experience enough!

This place is a dream come true! I don’t really have a bucket list, but if I did, petting a sloth would be on it. And feeding Sydney the sloth and petting him was everything I could have ever dreamed of.That said... the owners are clearly very caring of the animals on premise, with custom enclosures, custom diets, and the collaboration with various conservation programs.They have two wonderful anteaters, a lot turtles, a big tortoise, some other critters, rescue greyhounds, and of course the sloth.We went as a group and found the costs to be reasonable as it supports the programs they contribute to, and felt the time and information conveyed during the tour was wonderful.

This place is so fun and cool! Its a really good place to surprise your significant other with or a birthday present for kids. I absolutely lives all the animals and the couple who run this are so friendly and nice. I had to reschedule my appoitment for personal reasons and they were very understanding and helpful. This was a wonderful experience and me and my husband absolutely loved it! I would definitely come back here and would 100% recomend it to everyone!

Had such an amazing time! Got to knock a major item off my huns bucket list for her 30th birthday and the kids loved it as well! Diving to catch the rabbit after it escaped took me back to my childhood. The interaction with the animals was amazing and the staff very friendly and welcoming! You can tell they really love what they do! We will be back for sure!
