Enjoying a Day at Noah’s Ark

Founded by Jama Hedgecoth, the original Noah’s Ark opened in 1978 in Ellenwood, Georgia. Named for the biblical Noah’s Ark, which represented a vessel of safety in the midst of danger, Jama’s Ark was built to shield children and animals from today’s floods of abuse and neglect.

The care of wildlife can be a lengthy and complex process depending on the species and the extent of injuries. If injuries are so debilitating that the animal cannot be released, it will stay at Noah’s Ark for the remainder of its life in as natural a habitat as possible.

The current facility of Noah’s Ark is in Locust Grove, Georgia sitting on 250 acres, training administration building, nature trails, and countless natural habitats for more than hundreds of animals on site.

Noah’s Ark is open Tuesday – Saturday from 12:00pm – 3:00pm, weather permitting.

Cost is $5 per person. Holiday Closure dates are Tues, Dec 24 – Wed, Dec 25.
