Is there dog kennels available in the Safari?

Hi Candice. Yes, we do have dog kennels at the Pine Mountain Safari, Wild Animal Safari. Check in at the ticket building. Hope you have a great visit. www.animalsafari.com.

How ethical is this place? Meaning were the animals healthy, treated well, in nice living conditions, etc.

Seems like it. In the walkabout, each animal had a shaded area so they can hide from the sun. Some even had air conditioned room for them to go inside. They all had little play areas in their cages as well. As far as the actual safari, the animals… more

Loved everything !! Super nice employees! Efficient service, great animals ! Especially loved our tour/bus driver "Jack" He was so informative about the animals and had great jokes!!

So much fun !!

Two toe the Giraffe

My kids loved it. It wasn't to pack the staff was friendly also our tour driver Jack was amazing

If you live in Georgia and haven't visited the Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, GA. This is your sign to go. We had an unforgettable time here. I purchased my tickets in advance and choose to rent one of their vehicles. We arrived and hour early and walked around the walk-about. We checked in and feed the kids and waited for our car to be ready. As we drove through the park, we encountered bisons, emus, zebras, and many more. The highlight of the trip was watching my kids face light up when one of the animals walked over to be feed. Some things I recommend: - use the restroom before your drive - bring water - Rent their vehicles *** - wear gloves to avoid slobber *** - bring clorox wipes to wipe down the chairs and inside of the rental cars before getting inside *** - a camera to capture all the memories

A Family Hit! We had a blast exploring the wide variety of animals. The price was totally reasonable, and driving through the safari with my family was a highlight. Letting the kids feed the animals was a super cool experience - they absolutely loved it. We're definitely planning a return trip!

Wildly entertaining! I'm glad we did it. The kids had a blast and so did my husband and I! They had a nice assortment of animals and loved that they had lions. The giraffe looked so sad though, lol.

Overall, it was a nice outing. I took my kids there a few weeks ago. I was SOOOOO happy I could drive my own car, because those busses and vans looked dirty and HOTTTT (since they didn't have windows)! Lots of deer and bison; limited giraffes. My kids were scared to death of the ostrich that came to our window! I wish we'd bought more good though. Whatever you do.....don't buy the tshirts! I bought a L for me. After 2 washes, its now a S! $24 wasted! And such a cute design! Can't say I'll go back...but, one less thing off my Atlanta-to-do list!

Saw this safari on TikTok and decided to take my little cousins here and it was so much fun !! It was fun interacting with these animals, very unique experience.

We have been to wild animal safari twice now. Both times have been so much fun. First visit was a few years back. This year we decided it would probably be a good idea to buy a season pass since we hope to visit more often. After this second visit we know for sure we will be back. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Even if they didn't know the answer to something they would reach out to someone for an answer for us. The animals were so pleasing to watch and look at. We didn't have enough time to walk around with a little one so we will make sure to give ourself enough time next time and to buy plenty of food for our animal friends I would recommend to anyone.

Feeding the animals

My Honda Civic Sedan became the Honda Civic Safari when we spent the first half of the day at Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, GA. A unique experience where you drive through and feed the animals through your car window. So a couple pointers to remember if you go: 1. Keep calm. You will get slobbered on. 2. Car windows all the up or all the way down. You gotta commit. 3. Don't feed the ostriches by hand. Trust me, just don't.

My babies had the time of there lives thanks for the experience we are coming back very soon captain jack

You don’t have to travel far to experience hundreds of exotic animals from around the world. Just 50 miles south of Atlanta creatures roam freely throughout this 500 acre park.

Description

Just north of Pine Mountain, GA off Hwy 27 you will encounter one of the most unique experiences of your life. Animals! Exotic animals! LOTS of exotic animals!

An up close and personal adventure!

Wild Animal Safari features two different ways of seeing these exotic animals. The Serengeti Adventure is a 3-mile drive through section where you will have a chance not only to see, but also to feed and touch animals from around the world. Designed to embrace a natural open setting, the drive will bring you face to face with animals such as giraffes, zebras, buffalo, camels, a rhino and many more. You have the choice of touring through in your own vehicle, a rental van, or the guided tour bus (seasonal).

What’s a liger?

Once you have finished the Serengeti Adventure, take a casual stroll through The Walk-About, our walk-through section featuring bears, hyenas, alligators, monkeys, and even ligers. What’s a liger? You’ll have to come and see for yourself.

Your ticket is good for the whole day, so take advantage of the opportunity to see different animals on each trip. Take a break in between trips and visit the Safari Café for a bite to eat and load up on themed and animal related gifts in our gift shop, The Outpost.

Fun For The Whole Family

Summer family week getaway.

Children’s Summer Activities

Live music: every fri, sat & sun, the full event calendar, where to stay, where to dine, lagrange through a child’s eyes.

LaGrange has something to offer kiddos with all sorts of interests including nature, adventure, culture and physical activity. The extensive options keep the whole family engaged and entertained all while staying close to your desired home base .

Great Wolf Lodge

Great Wolf Lodge is as good as it gets for child-friendly fun—and mom and dad too, for the record! 93,000 square feet of pure amusement, toddlers, teenagers, parents—all—will have the time of their lives exploring all the waterpark has to offer. Kept warm at 84 degrees year-round, Great Wolf is always an option. Four-story interactive water treehouses, lazy rivers, water basketball, thrilling waterslides, wave pools, floating lily pads and more await you in LaGrange.

But more than just a water park, check out the indoor climbing wall, extensive ropes course and bowling, among other attractions. With activities suitable for your youngest and your oldest, book a family suite and enjoy all Great Wolf has to offer.

Wild Animal Safari

Come and experience 3.5 miles of animal adventure. Wild Animal Safari’s drive-through park allows children to see 75 species and over 450 animals from their car window. Camels, zebras, giraffes, along with other remarkable species, roam the park. You will begin to wonder if you are still in Georgia at all! Using your family’s vehicle or one of the park’s rentable “zebra vans,” spend the day greeting exotic friends. Purchase a bag of grass pellets on-site for the animals and you will have no problem enticing the furry friends to your vehicle. Not close enough? Say hello to other animals face-to-face in a complimentary “park walkabout” after your safari ride.

Biblical History Center

Biblical History Center allows you and your little ones to travel back in time and experience Ancient Middle Eastern life right here in LaGrange. Extremely interactive, the museum invites you to have a taste of daily life in Biblical ancient Israel. Archaeological replicas and hands-on exhibits and tours give children a look into the authentic experience.

Biblical History Center makes history come to life for children, allowing them to have fun while learning about another culture and period in time. Children are able to bake bread like their ancient counterparts would have, sit in an authentic goat-hair tent (like nomadic shepherds) and spend time wandering through a replicated village—but the fun doesn’t end there! Four archaeological pits are available for children to learn about archaeology, while one is filled with dinosaur remains and fossils. The pits are based on actual archaeological findings, ranging from the time of the Exodus to the second century AD. After each “dig,” the young archaeologists are given a certificate to remember their time at the center.

Extremely kid-friendly and educational, Bible History Center is an outing on which both parents and children can agree.

Southbend Park

The urban Southbend Park is complete with a dog park, skatepark, large playgrounds and open green space for kids to roam and make their own. Due to a generous donation from Callaway Foundation, Inc. and a grant from the Tony Hawk Foundation, the skatepark is impressive to any type of skateboarder, amateur or professional. The skatepark portion is available for all types of wheels—BMX bikes, scooters and inline skaters are all welcome to test out the terrain.

For the non-skate enthusiasts, Southbend Park still has more than enough to keep your little ones entertained. The extensive playground area provides free child entertainment right in your backyard. Located right on our urban trail system, The Thread, the park is a great place to ride bikes or take a walk. Take advantage of an afternoon outside together, pack a picnic and enjoy lunch in the sun or under the shaded pavilion!

West Point Lake

Spend a day in the great outdoors and make new memories with your children without breaking the bank. The lake is built-in fun for children of all ages. Check out Highland Marina to rent kayaks, canoes or paddle-boards together. All around the lake, campgrounds, small beach areas and fishing piers are at your disposal. Pyne Road Park is a recommended stop or starting point for your lake day. The park provides a swimming dock, easy access to the shore, and both shaded and unshaded picnic areas. Not to mention camping areas if a day just isn’t enough to do it all.

Make West Point Lake your own. Explore nature trails, swim on a warm summer day or spend the afternoon fishing. Multiple campgrounds are available to grill out or picnic or even sleep under the stars. Check out Whitetail Ridge Campground , Holiday Campground (which has an available playground, along with basketball and tennis courts) or Pine Mountain RV Resort (equipped with a swimming pool, bicycle rentals and a game room). With on-site rentals, traditional campsites and RV site options, if your child is a nature-enthusiast, West Point Lake will be right up their little alley.
