Visitor Testimonials

Thank you for being there and doing such great work in conservation.  It has been a number of years since my first visit, and today I took my 15 yr old grandson -- he loved it too.  My wife was heartbroken that she had to work today and not go.  The entire staff is knowledgeable, pleasant, and obviously excited about their work.  What a treat.  Paul, Lisa, Lori, and Kelly in the "show and tell" were fantastic.  And Nicole at the gift shop made the experience a very pleasant one.  The knowledge and experience and experiences, as well as a love for wildlfe, come through loud and clear.  I have been in conservation for my entire life as soil scientist, and erosion and sediment control professional, and respect all the fantastic work you do.  I remember meeting Debbie some years back at a conservation meeting, and told her then what a great job you do.  If you can (and I am sure you do) make an impression to just a few folks, it is worth it to our world and all of life on it.  I know how difficult it is trying to get people to understand not to dump material down storm drains in Marietta.  And, of course, the many staff personnel who are "behind the scenes" are just as important to the entire operation.  They are as appreciated as those who are "out front".  Thanks again for a great day!

On Friday, July 4th, 2008, my family and I paid a visit to the Kangaroo Conservation Center and we were so delighted at how wonderful this place was! We were so happy to see such an amazing place that was clean, well-organized and well-run. The people working there are wonderful and exude such concern and honest respect for these animals! They do an amazing job with presenting their mission of conserving these gentle animals as well as educating the public on the importance of the commitment it takes to properly raise wild animals. I have always had a deep respect for all creatures and it is great to see that these folks do too! I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Our visit to the Kangaroo Conservatory was extraordinary!  Thank you, thank you, thank you for waiting on us---you are phenomenal *******!  I can't thank you and the staff enough for our wonderful experience, the children thoroughly enjoyed everything.  I'll be sure to have them express how they loved the visit.  Some of our children had the pleasure of going to Australia last year, they stated that they learned much more about Kangaroos on the field trip.  I am so excited about the conservatory being in Georgia that I have vowed to schedule a family trip this summer.  Thanks a million *******!  The Kangaroo Conservatory is definitely on the field trip list for next year.
Sincerely, RaShella

Hello - We really enjoyed our tour of your beautiful and well kept Kangaroo facility on May 22nd.  Your animals appear so content and well cared for.  The attached picture is one of a few I was able to take.  I was wondering if you would be able to tell me which kangaroo this is so I can put a name to that handsome face.  This was taken at the front pen area near the kangaranger, left side closer to the wallaby pen with the bamboo.  Thanks for a beautiful day and lasting memories.

I thought it was one of the best field trips I have ever been a part of.  My son can't stop talking about it.  Thanks!

THANK YOU!  We visited you recently and so enjoyed every minute.  Each staff person was knowledgeable and gracious and we learned so much.  What a treat to see the interaction between staff and kangaroos.  Priceless.  Suggestion:  a gold plated kangaroo charm for the gift store.
We loved every minute with you.  Thanks again.

“ Just wanted to tell you what a marvelous day we spent with all of you at the Kangaroo Conservation Center on June 22^nd. You are doing a wonderful job and we wish you much success in all your undertakings. It was a true pleasure to see all of those beautiful kangaroos on our trip thru the fields. We did see MORE than we had seen in Australia. Thanks again for one of the HIGHLIGHTS of our trip.

“My kids and I attended the tour on Saturday morning and I felt obligated to tell you how outstanding we thought the tour, the facility and the staff. My kids are always arguing with their cousins from Philadelphia as to comparisons between it and Atlanta for attractions and activities. My kids really feel that they are one up on Philadelphia because of the Kangaroo Conservation Center. They cannot wait to return again. Thanks for a great experience.”
– Jack, Georgia

“ I want you to know that the other evening I saw a box turtle attempting to cross a busy highway. I made a quick U-turn and went back to move the turtle safely off the road, but in the direction it was heading. I might not have been so diligent had it not been for the education I learned at Kangaroo Conservation Center about protecting ALL wildlife. So, your efforts are making an impact, incrementally, and every day.
– Betty, Georgia

“To all Staff: We enjoyed the visit immensely and recounted it several times to family, grandchildren, friends. We found your facility to be top-notch in cleanliness, construction, design and interesting/educational. The kangaroos were lovable. Go Roos!
