I went with my husband and children. The kids loved the animals (mosquitoes excluded). It is not easy traveling with a regular stroller (they do have jogging strollers and wagons for rent for $5). The boardwalks and railing could use quite a bit of care and updating. The area that walks out over the marsh was beautiful to look at... More

This is a nice 2 mile walk, easy to do and the pathways are well maintained. There is only a minimal amount of animals to see so if you go expecting a zoo like atmosphere, this is not it. I understand they are owned by the school district and it sorely needs patrons to help keep it up. They need... More

Nice walking destination during great weather. You get to enjoy natural scenery typical of the area. See animals up close. Children especially love it. Check for special events and festivals. We are locals and our children love going over and over.

This small zoo is a nice walk and a great family adventure for those staying in Savannah. Let's be honest, Savannah is more for adults so kids tend to get bored after a while. A little day trip to the oatland wildlife center to see the gators, the wolves, the petting zoo, and some of the other fun inhabitants will... More

Walking trail was well maintained. Able to see many animals. Some animals in cages ie eagles, bison, some in nature, alligators, small snakes, and some in natural habitat. They had farm animals the children could pet

We visited Oatland Island Wildlife Center with our two year old and infant during a weekday. It is easy to get to and well marked along the highway. The driveway up to the center is very long, but once you get there it is awesome. It was only $5 each for my husband and I to get in. No charge... More

I brought the family here for a nice walk on the trail. Included on that walk was experiencing the animals indigenous to the area. It's a nature preserve, that rescues injured and endangered species. Very well maintained, and the placards are helpful, in case you are not familiar with that particular creature. Great for the family.

What a deal for $5! The Oatland Island Wildlife Center was a great way to spend an afternoon in Savannah. Even though it was a steamy Georgia day, most of the property is located in the shade. We saw all sorts of animals up close, our favorite being the wolves and the armadillos. This would be a great place to... More

Definitely worth a stop for both kids and adults. Great 2 mile leisurely walk through shady woods with stops along the way to see all the plants and animals. We went in the afternoon after a morning trip to the beach, so was good to be outdoors but out of the hot sun. Beautiful long boardwalk over the marsh! Only... More
