North Georgia Wildlife Park Nativity Play Canceled This Year

Announcements, Community
LIVE NATIVITY PLAY CANCELLED THIS YEAR
As COVID cases continue to rise in our area, the have decided to cancel our annual Live Nativity Play this year. The play involves the children of zoo employees, and we want them to be safe, as well as the people who would attend. The area where the play is held is not conducive to social distancing, so in an abundance of caution we have decided to forgo this part of our Christmas Celebration this year.
The nativity scene itself will be available to view and photograph for our guests who are visiting the park. Other activities, such as our regularly scheduled activities, Santa and the Starry Night tour will be held as planned, as they are much easier to maintain social distancing.
Thank you for your understanding. Merry Christmas!

LOTS OF SMILES AT NORTH GEORGIA WILDLIFE PARK & ZOO

Community

When we began offering our “Social Distancing Drive Thru
Zoo” experience at North Georgia Wildlife Park & Zoo, we
really did not know how people would respond. We have
been overwhelmed buy your response! Literally thousands
of families have driven through our zoo over the past two
weeks, and we have received so many generous
contributions to help us with the ongoing costs of operating the zoo and feeding our animals.

Perhaps the most gratifying thing for us has been the comments we have
received. Our guests have told us over and over, “Thank you for doing this!
Thank you for providing a safe experience for our children. It’s so nice to be
able to get out of the house and do something fun, while still practicing social distancing.”

 

But the best thing has been the smiles on the faces of the children! Their
excitement at seeing the animals has made the “Drive Thru Zoo” worth all the time and effort.

 

So, thank you to our zoo family, friends and community for your continual
support. We love you all and will continue to pray for you during the coming days.
