The Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn, GA is a rustic wildlife ranch. Walk along the mile-long trail and encounter hundreds of animals - mostly forest and farm animals. You can feed many of them, t00: everything from the typical farm animals like goats and sheep to deer! Feeding deer from your hand is unforgettable.
Other animals you will see are black bears, a mountain lion, owls, foxes, buffalo, donkeys, and pigs. I have great pictures from our multiple trips to the ranch, so don't forget your camera.
Check the calendar for all the fun events; there is something going on almost every month of the year. You can see Georgia's own groundhog, General Beauregard Lee, all year - but you may want to visit him on Groundhog Day to find out how long winter will last. Spring time brings baby animals, and May 23, 2009, will be sheep shearing day.
The Ranch is definitely rustic. The habitats range from completely natural to large cages, which are not as aesthetically pleasing. You'll hear the donkeys braying wherever you are - it's hilarious!
Yellow River Game Ranch is open every day except major holidays. Under 2 is free; 2-11 costs $7.00; and 12 and up costs $8.00. There is a coupon in the Entertainment Book. The hours are 10-5 M-F and 9:30-6:00 Sa/Su. The last ticket is sold one hour before closing.
Good to know: You can bring a lunch to eat on picnic tables, but you would probably want to wash your hands with more than hand sanitizer before eating. Close to the entrance is a Sonic, which is great for a cold drink after a long hot visit with the animals. You'll walk through a very tempting gift store to enter and exit the Ranch. You can bring food to feed the animals, but YRGR also sells it very affordably. Carrots, saltine crackers, and peanuts are best.
