TROUP COUNTY, Ga. — Officials with Wild Animal Safari announced that they are reopening their park this Saturday.
The drive-thru safari received damage after a tornado blew through Troup County back in March. During the storms, two animals, one of which was a tiger, became loose inside the park but were quickly recaptured.
Like many parts of the county, the safari is recovering from tornado and flooding damage. Five people in Troup County were injured during the severe weather and an estimated 80 to 100 homes were hit with damage.
The safari was initially slated to reopen Friday, but "unforeseen events" have pushed the date to Saturday, officials said.
The safari will reopen at 9 a.m. April 15. Wild Animal Safari is at 1300 Oak Grove Road in Pine Mountain.
