The Haven Zoo, Lavonia

About The Haven Zoo

The Haven Zoo in Lavonia, Georgia provides a permanent home for displaced exotic, native, and domestic animals. Visitors wander the zoo grounds and observe nearly 100 animals living in educational habitats designed to inspire conservation awareness. Group tours lasting one to two hours guide visitors through the farm environment while discussing the animals and conservation issues species face worldwide. The zoo offers farm school programs and preschool classes where children engage in biology lessons and learn about the challenges and joys of working with animals. School groups, home school field trips, church youth groups, scouting groups, and corporate team events can schedule unique tours tailored to their needs. The facility operates as a working farm, so visitors should wear comfortable closed-toe walking shoes. The nonprofit zoo is managed entirely by volunteers and relies on community support.
