Tours are on a first come, first served basis at 9 a.m., 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. daily.
Raptor shows return at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. for an educational and entertaining experience showcasing various birds of prey in action. Café 7 will be open every day 11 a.m.–4 p.m. beginning this weekend, with extended hours on weekends coming soon. Enjoy delicious food with a modern twist like fried green tomatoes, shrimp and cheese grits, grilled trout with Georgia peach salsa or house-smoked barbeque.
