 Tour a Working Farm |
362 Stringer Road Atlanta, GA 30015 United States +1 770 345 5591 http://www.caglesdairy.com |
Few area children's attractions can touch the sheer excitement offered by this working dairy farm. Guests ride along on a tractor-pulled hay wagon as it makes the daily rounds of this 19th Century farm, stopping at the farmhouse, outbuildings, cattle barns and grazing fields. Kids are given a chance to try their luck at milking and feed the animals by hand. The tour takes about 90 minutes, and covers the entire milk production process from cow to cereal bowl. Free milk is even provided at the end of the tour. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Country Retreat |
4940 Steele Road Atlanta, GA 30365 United States +1 770 968 0934 |
This farm is not far from downtown Atlanta, and offers a sweet retreat from city life. Trail rides, picnics, and many other activities are offered on this 100-acre estate, which features both farmland and woodlands. Perhaps the most popular events are the moonlight hayrides, offered nightly throughout the year in fair weather. Executive retreats, company picnics, and private parties can all be accommodated, and for the brave of heart, 15 acres have been set aside for camping. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Non-profit wildlife caretakers |
712 LG Griffin Road Atlanta, GA 30212 United States +1 770 957 0888 http://www.noahs-ark.org/ Noah@Noahs-Ark.org |
This non-profit organization rehabilitates all sorts of wild and domesticated animals that have met with misfortune, from horses, birds, pigs and sheep to bears, monkeys, cougars, and wolves. It also brings together children and animals so they both can learn to provide unconditional love, service and a future of hope to each other. Visitors are welcome at the animal center throughout the week for guided educational tours. However, inclement weather or special events may alter tour times, so it's best to call ahead to confirm. Although tours are free, donations are appreciated to help the center continue its important work. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Georgia wildlife up close |
4525 Highway 78 Atlanta, GA 30047 United States +1 770 972 6643 http://www.yellowrivergameranc... info@yellowrivergameranch.com |
Located just off the highway, this ranch is a convenient treasure trove for animal lovers. More than 600 animals call the ranch home, including many species indigenous to the area, such as white-tailed deer, buffalo, black bears, prairie dogs and goats. In all, more than 25 species are represented, although the number changes from year to year. A mile-long trail winds through the children's petting zoo, and special events like Sheep Shearing Saturdays usually draw crowds. Review © 2007, Wcities |
