Atlanta, GA

So my coworker says to me this morning, did you know Georgia has a huge Kangaroo conservation center?

I said, No, but immediately wanted to know everything she knew about it. So now…I share my new found information with you. If you’ve ever been there or end up going — please tell me how it was.

Located in Dawsonville, Georgia - the Kangaroo Conservation Center is dedicated to the preservation of kangaroo species through captive breeding and public education. Currently exhibiting over 300 kangaroos of 9 species, the Center has successfully bred and cared for over a dozen different species of marsupials in the past 24 years.

All visitors to the center must be atleast 6 years old.

Tour options, dates, and times vary seasonally
