This new, all-ages experience highlights some of the most beautiful and misunderstood animals of the Southeast: our native snake population. Participants can have a hands-on encounter with our non-venomous and a close-up view of one of our venomous animal ambassadors. Guests will learn about the extensive conservation efforts for snakes and other wildlife on Jekyll Island, tips for identification and safe encounters, the importance of them to the ecosystem, and how you can help ensure these unique animals remain safe in our environment.
