Wild Adventures reveals details of new children's attraction

By Luke Cloherty    21 Sep 2018

Wild Adventures theme park in Georgia, USA is building a new children’s area, which is set to open in March 2019.

Featuring six new rides and an immersive wildlife experience where visitors can get close to native Georgian alligators, the new area will sit near the main entrance to the theme park.

The six new rides are called Okefenokee Express, Flying Gators, Turtle Twist, Swampwater Snake, Hoppin’ Gator and Okefenokee Friends and are all aimed at families and young children.

Meanwhile, Alligator Alley will offer visitors the chance to feed an alligator and the netted Gator Crossing Rope Bridge will be suspended above it, offering bird’s eye views of the creatures.

The new kids’ area will lead into Alapaha Trail, where guests can walk through a Georgian swamp, encountering exotic and native species including the park’s largest alligator, Twister.

“With this new area, Wild Adventures is providing an amazing place for families to experience together,” said Molly Deese, Wild Adventures vice president and general manager.

“It is really important to us that, as soon as they enter the park, families have an experience that results in memories worth repeating.”

In another bid to attract more younger visitors, the theme park is offering a free admission program for children between the ages of 3-5. Beginning this month, parents can register children for a pass online that can be used for visits until the end of the 2019 season.
