Important Wildlife Festival Update: Weather Adjustments

Due to predicted inclement weather, we are making changes to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all attendees.
  • All animal encounters and educational activities will be moved indoors or under shelter to keep you dry and comfortable.
  • Parking will be at Chicopee Baptist Church, with shuttle service provided by our amazing partners at Hall County Schools. The shuttle will take you right to the Nature Center entrance and run continuously for easy return trips.
  • Show your ticket to board the shuttle.
Rain or shine, we’re ready for a fantastic day with animals!
