One of the best things to do in the Tybee-Savannah area. Seeing animals in natural surroundings is a thrill. The wolves are spectacular as are the panthers. Lovely forests and terrific trails make the experience all the more fun. And the Halloween Hike is WONDERFUL–not too scary for little ones, but a scary part for bigger ones. Do not miss this family attraction.
