Zoo Atlanta

Huge zoo, very clean and well maintained. Lots of sections separating different types and regions of animals and species. Most animals were active and playful when we visited. Plenty of restrooms in every corner of the zoo.

There’s a wonderful children section in the zoo. There’s petting animal, carousels, train ride, playground and tree climbing. Carousel and train require separate ticket, $3 per person.

It takes about 2-3 hours to fully explore the zoo. There’s a cafe and bunch of small vendors around the zoo. The gift shop is pretty nice, got lots of zoo specific merchandise.

Cool place. We went mostly because of the pandas (who were adorable) but seen lots of other amazing animals. We really liked all the bamboo. There are multiple places to get food from which is also great. Lots of merch to choose from. We read lots of interesting information about the animals, including some that were really educational.
We found that some animals have rather small places for themselves (like the bald eagle, but the “big cats” could benefit from more space as well).
Many tablets in the reptile house didn’t work so we had no idea what animal we were looking at (or what we should’ve found as many of them disguised themselves too well).
I think it would also be practical to add signs with numbers to the various areas of the too to make orientation easier. It’s too easy to miss certain zones unless someone consults the map all the time.
Overall we had a great time and it seemed like the animals are well cared for.

Zoo hits hard for its size. The pandas are the last in the US and they always put on a show. Giant otters were super cool to see. I was very pleased even with the higher admission compared to other zoos I have been to recently.

Came here with my family for the Illuminights Chinese lantern festival for the first time and had a wonderful time! It wasn't crowded at all and I enjoyed the numerous refreshments around the zoo. The lanterns were breathtaking and I was surprised at how many there were. I would definitely recommend going to the festival whether it's solo, with family, or on a date. You will not regret it!

If you're an animal lover, this is an absolute paradise! They've created a beautifully maintained haven, perfectly suited to cater to the interests of every type of animal. The level of detailed information provided about each species is truly impressive. The Zoo staff are not only friendly but incredibly passionate about their work. I was especially thrilled to see their commitment to a Zero plastic policy throughout the property.

You can easily lose yourself in the wonders of the Zoo for an entire day. The kids were over the moon with excitement! The Zoo also offers a handful of adorable gift shops, delightful eateries, and immaculate restrooms. And don't forget, there's a wonderful park nearby waiting to be explored! This place is an absolute gem!

Wild Animal Safari - Pine Mountain, Georgia

Visited here for my daughters birthday because she loves animals. She had the best time of her life. We rented a vehicle so we could travel at our own pace. I would recommend renting a car, very long lines for the buses.

On the vehicles there are bars on the windows so the animals can’t stick their heads all the way in. Do not drive your own car, if it is an option.

It took us about 2 hours to go through the entire ride. We ran out of food by the end because we couldn’t tell any of the animals no. Definitely worth it, if you’ve never been.

Our tour guide, bus driver, I think his name was chase? Or Jackson? The Canadian guy... Super cool, hilarious, great with kids, & was full of interesting facts and a lot of knowledge. The 1 hr drive thru was full of animals. Our favorite part was the giraffe. 1 bag of food lasted us through the walk about feeding the goats & the Safari. The walk through portion with the small zoo was pretty neat, and very small. The lady in the gift shop also had a sense of humor, had patience with all the small children in there running wild in the toy section, and was very nice. I will say, $5 for 1 jerky stick, $8 for a magnet, was a little pricey in my eyes, but that's just me squeaking.. it was a good time, and I can't recommend the bus driver tour guide from Canada...

Awesome for a trip with the family! I recommend getting there close to when they open and getting a ride on the bus early. The information is good and the drivers are amusing.
After the ride through, the food court has a nice if limited selection so it's a solid option.
The walking park is short, but we enjoyed the walk through before we took one last ride on the bus tour before leaving.
It was a great day trip and the whole family enjoyed it. I'd absolutely go back again.

We had a marvelous time for my wife's birthday at Wild Animal Safari! They have so many animals and they're all incredibly friendly. Would highly recommend taking the kids here, or even just go on safari by yourself with a real nice camera. Make sure to buy extra animal food. We bought FOUR bags and ran out of feed before we even made it halfway through the driving tour.

We absolutely loved the Wild Animal Safari! Our family of 5 rode on the free bus tour and I think it's the best way for everyone to enjoy it. I love that 99% of the animals are able to roam freely on the 300 plus acres (might be more than that!). The ones that are not free are animals you would not want loose. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the young lady who gave us our tour. Our kids really loved being able to feed the animals and pet some of them too. Definitely worth a visit!

Creation Kingdom Zoo

This Zoo was a very enjoyable experience. The animals were very active and healthy. We enjoyed interacting with them and found the grounds clean and natural. There are hills and requires a good bit of walking but trails are well kept and easy to follow. Great place to take kids to learn about animals and nature. We had a great time and recommend this zoo highly!

This place is awesome. I would recommend bringing your family. The workers here are extremely friendly. The selection of wildlife to see is good as well.

Please do NOT let any of the negative reviews on here stop you from checking this zoo out. I have been to so many zoos in my life and this is truly one of my favorites. I have been here 4 or 5 times now within the last year. It’s not huge, but it’s perfect. I have brought my stroller every single time that I’ve come to this zoo and yes it may be a little “hard” to climb up some of the spots with a stroller but it’s great exercise and well worth it. My favorite part of this zoo is how it’s very “hands on”. I LOVE getting to feed the primates and it’s neat getting to feed the hoofed animals too. And of course Tucker the giraffe is the absolute best. He’s so cute and full of personality and I love that you can get up close and interact with him. I went today to this zoo with my husband and daughter and we had such a blast! Parking was great and the staff was great and the bathrooms have always been clean, I love the little hand washing station  outside of the bathrooms! Oh and the gift shop is great too. I can’t say enough about this zoo, I truly love it and I’m so thankful that I’m only an hour away from it. Can’t wait to visit again. 😁

We absolutely love visiting here! This was our first time bringing our daughter and she had a blast! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and plenty of animals to keep you entertained. Thank you all!!

Great little zoo,  enjoyed being able to get close to animals and my kids really enjoyed the experience.

Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary

What a wonderful place to visit for adults and kids. The old Game Ranch had really gone downhill. The new owners have done a fabulous job of creating beautiful homes for happy animals. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.  We bought cups of lettuce leaves and carrots and had so much fun feeding the animals, especially the beautiful deer. There’s a very friendly turkey who will follow you around too. We spent 3 whole hours there and it was so much more fun than the zoo. Would definitely recommend.

I love coming here with my kids so we can see all the amazing animals. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. We were excited to see the bears and the wolf cubs on our most recent trip. Love all the work this family does to make the sanctuary an enriching experience.

We had a great time here. Wonderful staff and the sanctuary is neat with good signage and walkways. You can feed many of the animals and the space is so open and natural. Pet a deer while feeding it, lots of firsts including a peacock taunting a serval. Highly recommend

Had a FABULOUS experience. Have been wanting to see sloths in person for years and finally got the opportunity through the sloth encounter with Sid and Sue. We were able to feed and touch them while learning so much about them with their guide. Beside the sloth house, Marvin wanted attention and is the absolute cutest/sweetest. Just wanted to be petted like a dog.  Loved all the exhibits. The “baby” wolves, coyotes, rabbits, Alpacas, cow, donkeys, etc. we loved it all! The staff were really kind, helpful and knowledgeable. We went during the weekday (early afternoon) and we saw one other person so a great time to go.

Fantastic sanctuary for children and animal lovers!

All of the animals are rescues who can no longer be introduced into the wild and are very comfortable around people. Turkeys and peacocks are on the loose and all the animals (bunnies, goats, alpacas, bulls, bison, etc) were VERY happy to be fed with the purchaseable treats.

We went on a rainy day and it was still such a memorable time!

Gulf Breeze Zoo

Great zoo to visit. Senior and military discounts available.  Cafe on the grounds, rest rooms also.  Ride the train around the Safari park, 10 minutes.  See some of my photos.  Have a good time!

So much fun for a small zoo   I. Lots of cool and unique animals and a wolf I've never seen. We got to feed turtles, camels and fish. The Galapagos turtles are stunning. The ring-tailed lemurs are so much fun to watch. They also have close encounters with the rhino, the hippos, and the sloths as well as other animals for an additional cost.  They have a really cool walkway built above the animals so that you can really see them and a train that runs every hour and goes around the whole park.  The gift shop is a good size, with lots of picnic areas too. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The staff was very nice, answered questions and made us feel welcomed.
Will gladly go again.

We had a great time at the zoo. There are plenty of exhibits, everything from birds, turtles, hippos, lions, cheetahs and giraffe. You can feed some animals, giraffes, birds, goats and turtles. There are numerous bathrooms and wide paths for strollers. There is even a small train that will take you through some of the zoo for viewing at a distance. Enjoy your time at the zoo!

Absolutely worth every dollar for families.  Our kids had a blast.  Highly suggest feeding the animals.  Make sure to save some food for the Scottish Highland cows. We ran out before them and they’re so sweet. You get close encounters with animals as well. No tigers but cheetahs and lions are present. Very cool park.

This was a great trip for our family. Our 2 year old enjoyed all the animals, open area, and especially the trail ride. We easily spent 2-3 hours looking at everything and could have stayed longer.

Bear Hollow Zoo

This is a sweet little zoo in Athens, and free! I recommend going when the weather is good (not too hot, not too cold!) because we went when it was a little chilly and saw about two animals. My kids were a little disappointed, but now we know! Good for a stroller with paved walkways.

Beautiful place with seemingly very happy animals. Well thought out design and it's free to visit. Very peaceful and quiet, and the enclosures were nice too. The otters dragged a small pool into the pond and used it as a boat it was funny. Like having your own personal zoo Atlanta without people breathing down your neck the whole time! If you're in Athens, give this a visit.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place for a family day. It's free to come and see all the animals and there is a spacious park area with a lot of picnic tables and a playground. I was impressed with all the benches to stop and rest, water fountains and wheelchair accessible all throughout the park and little zoo. Love this gem of a place.

Very cool small zoo, definitely worth a walk.  We saw animals in every cage, which is not always the case with zoo's. And it's free!

Great little community zoo. A cool little gem in the heart of Athens, and a fun place to take kids. Not a big exhibit, but still fun. Free of charge, but open to donations via their Amazon wishlist, QR code available at the park. There is also hiking, a pond, playground and community pool near by and a dog park currently under construction. Certainly worth a visit.

Lake Hartwell Wildlife Safari

Fell in love with this place! Very affordable for a heck of a lot of fun and memories. We paid $10/adult (2 adults), $20/rental car (we didn’t want to use our cars), & $5/feed (2 bags of feed) — totaling out to be $53 with tax.

We enjoyed that we had control of our time in the safari and saw so many animals. They were ALL nice and well mannered. I would definitely recommend bringing some water to stay hydrated and watch out for the animals when you are pulling off.
We also enjoyed their petting zoo!! Animals were very sweet.

Enjoy some of our pictures!! Will definitely come back with family and friends.

Amazing!  We had the best time!  Mr. Joe drove our bus through to feed the animals ... he was entertaining, knowledgeable, and told us things we wouldn't have known if we'd gone through in our own vehicle.  My recommendation is to buy 2 bags of feed for each person in your party so that you have plenty to share with the animals!  You have so much fun feeding them that you don't realize how quickly you are going through the pellets.  Great time ... we will definitely be back!

This place is AWESOME! Super fair priced. For 2 adults and 1 kid the drive thru safari, the budgie cage and 2 bags of food was less than $50. Definitely well worth it. The animals are super friendly and hilarious to interact with. You definitely won't leave without a few laughs. The ostriches are the funniest when feeding. It's a great attraction in Hartwell. I'm eager it see it continue to grow! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful family adventure! Our grandsons loved it! Lots of hungry friendly animals. The parakeets were a great bonus! We will definitely visit again😁

I decided it was worth the hour and a half trip that it would take to see if it was as good as it appeared. I was absolutely NOT disappointed! The staff are kind, informative friendly and had enthusiasm for their job. The animals are well cared for and loved. They have several different options for taking the tour. One included a bus or using one of their rental cars (which I highly suggest). You also have the option of using your own vehicle. This is an excellent choice if you would like animal slobber all in your vehicle as the animals come right up to you. The person that created this park, definitely had a love of animals in mind. I cannot wait to go back!

Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary

We had a wonderful time at the sanctuary. We loved feeding the goats,  ducks and geese. It was a nice relaxing afternoon and plenty of birds, pigs, donkeys and more to see. Staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. We will come back!

Just discovered this sanctuary! There's even a cool outdoor amphitheatre for performances and concerts, and an event room great for children's birthdays. Will look at having an event here. My partner and I spent an hour amused at all the different kinds of parrots with personality - curious, hilarious, talkative. I learned that cockatoos live 80+ years and are like toddlers, loving affection and attention, so it's wonderful these rescued birds have a home here! There's goats, emus, donkeys, pigs, and more.

A great place to go for a stroll with my wife and be around animals. We met a number of wonderful staff and volunteers, caring for the parrots, goats, pigs, and other creatures. It is enjoyable just to see animals relax, play, and get into shenanigans. A sanctuary for rescued animals.

Jennifer gave us an amazing tour of the sanctuary and told us about every single animal there. Such a beautiful place to stroll with your family or loved ones! They even have an amphitheater, party room, and many picnic areas where they encourage you to bring your own food and snacks :)

We love taking our 3 year old to see the animals and birds. The volunteers have always been so nice and engaging. We recently met the new Operations Director and a long time employee named Linda. They both seem like lovely, caring ladies. I was blown away by the improvements that have taken place, since our last visit. It is a hidden gem, go check it out!

Georgia Safari Conservation Park

Local newspaper updated exciting news, park to open in early 2024 with a Giraffe Barn featuring hotel suites with windows for viewing the giraffes. So cool!

Doesn't exist. There are some safari trucks you can see from the road, but there's nothing here still.

Just a heads up, this doesn't exist and has been "coming soon" for almost 10 years and zero work towards that direction. Seems like a land grab scheme of some sort to me

This place DOES NOT Exist . Drove hours with 3 year  old to be disappointed.  These people should be ashamed. They do not answer there call

Love the vision for education and community outreach!

Zoo Boise

This zoo is amazing! You get to see animals super close up regardless they are roaming outside or getting cozy inside! It’s not massive, you don’t have to walk forever between animals or look forever trying to find out where are they hiding, but all animals look happy, healthy and well cared for! The type of animals they keep here are also quite unique! The decoration of the zoo, educational set up are so interesting too! We only had one hour time to check it out this time, but all 3 of us agree that next time we are in Boise we need to spend a day here!

Not a very big zoo, but also very small places where the animals have to live. I’ve been here this year in October. The people working here are very friendly. Great communication and very friendly.

The animals don’t look very happy, but there are some great animals to see. Most of them were inside, 50% I could not see with my own eyes. They did not have much space. The bear is a $5 fee to feed it and see it.

We were finished with watching in about 1-2 hours.

It’s a new stop for on the road, but I don’t know…

This is a fun zoo. It is on the smaller size. We were able to walk the entire zoo at a slower pace in about two hours. The exhibits themselves are dated, but you can see most of the animals up close. I don't know if it was just bad luck, but it seemed a higher than usual number of animal exhibits were temp closed for one reason or another. Overall, it is a fun trip that you can easily do in a short period of time and get to see some interesting g animals.

Fun time. Plenty of shaded area along the path to help with the heat! Cool kids play area giant giraffe slide and little animal statues to climb. Giraffe feeding was fun! Seemed like a quarter of the animals were either no longer here or just put away. Good value for your buck! Monkeys came in clutch like they always do with a good show! Clean bathrooms and overall clean zoo!

A small but good zoo to watch many animals like bear, tiger, giraffe, wolves, zebra, hornbill, monkeys, foxes, panguins, Sara's, lion, vultures, hyena. It takes 1-2hours to visit.
