This is a wonderful place for displaced and unwanted animals of all kinds, with a loving crew who works hard to ensure they are healthy and happy. I took the WOW tour which gave me access to areas not available to the general public. We were accompanied by a volunteer who gave us background on each of the animals we visited and she made sure we remained a safe distance from the fencing. We could pet domestic animals like cows and goats through a wood fence, but there was no contact between us and lions, bears, etc. The workers have set rules in place to protect us and the animals.
If you are going to look at the animals and support their cause then go. If you are going just to take photos of some of the larger cats it's not a good setup because of multiple fencing between you and them.
REQUEST: I witnessed several families with children enjoying the walk through the property and was shocked that they allowed the children (some young but mostly teens) to taunt the animals, yell, beat on fence, and scare the animals. Many of these rescued animals came from horrible abuse by their previous owners. Noah's Ark has lovingly worked to help them adjust and get back to as 'normal' as they can be. Please keep this in mind when you visit and treat the animals and volunteers with care.
Parking is free. There are lots of public areas that are free, including a playground and a nice picnic area. They have a beautiful welcome center but for some reason none of the inside restrooms were open; there were several porta-potties outside on the property.

Barnstormer's Grill at Candler Field Museum serves excellent food and provides a fun atmosphere. It is located just off the airstrip so you can watch planes take off and land. Often you will see people flying in for a delicious meal. The menu is varied so there is something for everyone.

Went to the 2018 Camping World Truck Series Race and Xfinity Race (double header). The speedway is a great place to watch racing! It could use some updating and seating can be a bit cramped, but it is a great overall experience. Tips: Bring a Cushion, binoculars, and Earplugs! I used binoculars to watch the pit road activities. It adds a new perspective.

My family and I visit this outlet mall at least 5 times a year, of course during the holidays, back to school, but sometimes on the weekday, that's the best time to go, the shops are uncrowded and you can sroll the entire place in less than an hour, its big, but not too big, bust, but not too busy. Only drawback is the traffic getting in and out. if you can be patient, it is worth the drive!!!

Really enjoyed my visit to Jailhouse Brewrey. It wasn't quite what I expected, but I enjoyed sampling the various types of beers. It's not really a place for kids under 21, so adults only is best because they do not serve food. It's worth the ticket price!

I've done quite a few escape rooms and this was by far the best one I have done! It was very challenging but so much fun! The location is cool too because of all of the shops around. It's definitely a place I would recommend visiting! Also, the owners are super nice and fun! Definitely worth more than 5 stars!
7. Pure Horse Play

We went here for a family day of horseback riding and definitely they are super friendly, very safe environment, and very customer oriented. The staff was great on indicating which horse will be better for each one of us and providing the basics of riding. Now, on the down side the riding equipment, saddles and stirrups, need to have better maintenance, they are pretty worn up. One of my stirrups broke halfway of the riding time, no big deal, since I am kind of used to be on a horse, but other customers could have really got scared. Also, I thought the trails would be longer, total time on them was probably around 25 min, out of the entire hour we had booked.

Went to see this show yesterday and had a great time. The kids put on a wonderful show. This was definitely a show to see for the entire family. Our little kids had such a good time. The highlight of the show was when we got to meet the cast. Our littles got to give hugs and take pictures with the kids in the cast and loved it.
