Story

Bear Hollow is a facility of the ACC Department of Leisure Services. Since it's creation in the late 1940's, the zoo has undergone many changes having started as a private collection of wild animals, which had been donated to the Athens zoo. Currently, the zoo contains only non-releasable native wildlife housed in natural habitat exhibits. The zoo is always growing and changing thanks to community support through volunteers and donations,yet it always remains committed to conservation through the education of its visitors. By educating the public, by allowing even one person to forge a lasting connection with an animal, Bear Hollow helps motivate people to protect wildlife and the habitats that they depend upon.

Bear Hollow relies heavily upon donations and the commitment of many volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering or helping the zoo in any way, please contact us!

Mission

Our mission is to help the community understand our place in and reliance upon natural systems through interpretive education and the use of Georgia's native wildlife.

Reviews
This is a cute, little, public zoo open to the public. You don't pay anything to go in and walk around. All the animals are rescues and seem well taken care of. The enclosures looked tidy. The zoo walkways were clean, and they were playing Jack Johnson in the background. It was an overall enjoyable experience.

The coolest little park zoo. Free and has a few really neat animals. Great little stop for the kids or just a relaxing day out. Self guided tour.

Great place for everyone. They have injured/rehabilitated wild animals that cannot be reintroduced to the natural environment.
