We are excited for your upcoming trip to Oatland Island Wildlife Center. Here are a few tips to make the most of your visit.

  • P​lease do not yell at or tease the animals, tap on or hit their exhibits or throw any objects. 
  • Respect all fences and boundaries. They are there for your safety and the safety of the animals.
  • There are many factors that affect the center’s environment, including weather and animal health. Consider checking our social media channels or website prior to your visit to be aware of any changes in the daily schedule or exhibit closures. 
  • The exhibits and trails are self-guided. However, if you are interested in booking a tour for your group, we have many options available. Please click here for more information. ​
  • There are restrooms available in the Tony Cope Education and Visitors Center and near the Georgia Barnyard. 
  • Remember, you’ll be spending the day outside! We advise that guests bring plenty of sunscreen, cold water, bug spray, good walking shoes and a hat. 
  • Water fountains and a refillable water ​bottle station are available in the Tony Cope Education and Visitors Center. 
  • There is a drink vending machine located near the Georgia Barnyard exhibit. Snacks and a limited assortm​​ent of drinks are also available for purchase at the Gift Shop located inside the Tony Cope Education and Visitors Center. 
  • We love animals, but for the safety of ours, we do not allow pets (leashed or unleashed, dogs, cats, etc.) onto Oatland Island Wildlife Center grounds. Only trained and vaccinated service animals are allowed on property.
