Here is your chance  to experience Behind the Scenes. 
North Georgia Zoo is home to a large variety of animals.  Many of the animals spend their time behind the scenes for a variety of reasons. Many of the animals are working as animal ambassadors and going out to schools, parties and other events. Other animals are in the process of their training program that involves daily interaction and positive reinforcement. These animals are preparing for movies, commercials and waiting for their claim to fame! Our animals have been used in Vampire Diaries,  Coma, Tony Danza and  more! Of course there is always the nursery which is the favorite. These  animals simply aren't ready to be part of the zoo tour but are starting their interaction with people so they do love to visit!

Tours are offered once a month depending on availability and interest in the tour.  When tours dates do not fill up or reached capacity,  alternate dates and times are set up.

Note: While we can guarantee lots of great interaction and visiting with lots of amazing animals, we cannot guarantee which ones. Animals in the nursery grow up and new ones move in, animals in training switch out daily and these are  wild animals so if they do not want to come out and visit we do not make them.
