Chestatee Wildlife Preserve & Zoo

I think the owners have a great idea but unfortunately this is not a very well run place. It feels like a struggling business walking through some of the empty displays, and some cages that seem over populated. . I think this has a lot of potential if someone can really clean this place up and add some more displays and possibly educational activities for kids. My kids did enjoy feeding the zebras and donkeys, and they absolutely loved talking to the hilarious 🦜 !

The absolutely best sanctuary/petting zoo I have ever visited. We loved the Sloth, horses, donkeys, camels and bears.

We were in town for a few days looking for some new adventures and this came up- it was an awesome experience getting to see all different types of animals- the staff was super friendly- but be smart and wear tennis shoes because I did not realize the terrain was a little rough and ended up breaking my sandals- but family friendly and reasonably prices for sure!!!

I have the best time every time I visit! I have been visiting with my family for quite some years now, and the preserve is always improving :) Everyone is always very nice and helpful! We recently visited to celebrate my birthday.

I can’t say enough about this beautiful place all of these angels get to call home. My daughter and I enjoyed meeting the wonderful people as much as we loved their (obviously adored) animals. This sanctuary is run by, hands down, some of the best people I’ve ever met in my life, and it’s reflected in their well behaved, calm animals. We’re already excited to be back, we actually didn’t want to leave. 🥹🤍 We also highly recommend you meet Flash and his girlfriend, the sloth couple! ;) They are hilarious and adorable!
