    ‼️‼️ UPDATE: new board has taken over and completely ruined this animal sanctuary. She's just letting the animals die ands is stealing the donations!! Shut them down or give back ownership to those who really care Stopped here since it wasn't too far out of the way of our original route but I am so happy we did! This was one of the cleanest, best kept sanctuaries I've ever been to (including other sanctuaries, zoos, etc). The animals look so healthy and they have SO much space to roam around, play and enjoy themselves. I love how natural their habitats are kept so it isn't too artificial for them (unlike some other places I've been to). The volunteers and workers here are also so kind and welcoming. I talked to Danielle (the volunteer coordinator) throughout my time here and she was absolutely amazing! She was so informative and it was a pleasure getting to talk to her about the animals, their care, and other information relating to the sanctuary. I also had a lovely conversation with Wayne about Liberty the tiger which was a very nice experience. Overall, I learned a lot more than I would have otherwise if I had just walked through by myself without asking any questions, so I am very happy about that. Though the admission is free, really try to donate all that you can to this wonderful animal sanctuary. Especially with COVID and the financial backlash from that, this place deserves all the generosity possible.

    This place is so cute. As soon as we arrived a peacock was casually strolling around the parking lot. The kids loved feeding the animals. My kids want tk volunteer here now. I wish they served food instead of just the vending machine so we could stay longer.

    The idea and concept of this place is amazing, way beyond 5 stars. May the creator of Heaven and earth, The LORD bless yall to continue shelter and provide healing for these animals. However, the bears, lion, tiger, baboon that we were hoping to see were distant or hiding; that's okay. At least they are safe. The birds were some of most amazing colors: yellow, white, green, pink, blue, black, etc..

    We loved our visit. The grounds were clean and well kept. The animals all looked well taken care of. It shows that they actually use the donations to help keep the place up. I truly appreciate it the self-guided tour being free but highly recommend you donate to the animals. The story of some of the animals were interesting and it's nice to have a safe environment for them.

    So much more than the pictures show. Such a wonderful place to take the kids and have a day of family fun!! We love to go at least once a month to check up on the animals and feed them. Beautiful trail, sweet and caring volunteers, gift shop inside, nice playground and swing area. Just all around good, free fun! Do not forget to donate what you can! It will help to take care of the animals and with keeping the sanctuary beautiful 🥰

    I don't know how to feel about this place. It's so nice that there's an area for the animals to retire but some of the circumstances they came from were sad such as drug raids or struggling zoos. It's awesome that they're able to provide the self guided tour completely free. I suggest you donate whatever you can. The animals seem very well cared for. You're also able to feed many of the animals with the grass in the area. There are picnic tables to bring a lunch also. There's also vending machines and clean bathrooms inside. This is located near Tanger outlets so be prepared for TRAFFIC!

    Noah's Ark is a great place to take the family. The sanctuary is beautiful. Lots of grassy areas and flowers. They have picnic areas if you want to bring a lunch. The peacocks run free, and they like to pose for pictures. The animals living at Noah's Ark are rescues, and they can't live in the wild. Some of them were rescued during drug raids, some were surrended from struggling zoos, and others come from research labs. You should definitely check this place out. Free, but donations are appreciated.

    My family and I first time at Noah’s Ark. Nice spacious parking lot. Beautiful peacocks walking around the parking lot. It appeared to be mating season for these beautiful creatures. Not a big fan of the picnic tables being right in front of the parking lot. We didn’t get to see all the animals this time. The kids wanted to play in the playground more than see animals. We’re hoping next time we get to see more animals. The service was good in the gift shop. I’ll definitely update the review when I get to have the full experience. Overall, so far, It was fun and all that matters is that the kids enjoyed their time there.

    We went to Noah's Ark for a school field trip and my first graders really enjoyed their time here. They loved walking around and seeing all the animals up close and reading their stories. They liked hearing about how they ended up there.

    This place has a good variety of animals to see. Its a great place to explore for all ages. My three year old especially loved the bears and big cats! We didn't get a chance to explore the whole sanctuary since it began to rain but we loved what we did get to see and we will definitely be back!

    We love coming here as a family. It's free but they accept donations of cash and fruits/food for the animals. The animals all seem healthy and not depressed like some zoos. It's also mostly shaded which is great in GA summer heat

    Love that this place is near my home. We can go and take a walk enjoy seeing the animals. Have a picnic, or eat lunch at a table. Like that there is a playground there and 6 swings.

    Great place for the kiddos to run around and see different animals. We saw cockatiels, macaws, a black bear, a grizzly bear, horses, ponies, goats, a cow, ducks, a swan, emu, ostriches, a lioness, and several gorgeous tigers. There is a picnic area, and while the zoo portion is only open from noon to 3pm, entrance is free. There is a donation box, which I am totally behind donating to. I believe there is also a playground, but in times of COVID-19, we steered clear of it. I suggest checking this place out, especially if you have kiddos that are getting a bit of the cabin fever.

    This is an awesome sanctuary. You can see how much the staff loves the animals. All the animals look so happy and healthy. A true heaven on earth. My #1 place to visit south of Atlanta.
