A Wild Family Reunion Adventure at Zoo Atlanta fueled by @gas_south!

Nearly 290 family members came together. (including five families who traveled from Florida, Virginia, Indiana, Tennessee, and Alabama) for a day filled with wild adventures, big hugs, belly laughs, and plenty of animal magic! 📸 by @amandacokerweiss Our families got up close with incredible animals and enjoyed some of the zoo’s favorite attractions from feeding giraffes at Twiga Terrace and riding the Endangered Species Carousel to hopping aboard the Norfolk Southern Zoo Train and making new furry friends at Outback Station. 📸 by @cassandrayoung 📸 by @cassandrayoung One of our favorite parts of every Family Reunion Adventure is reconnecting with our Bert’s Big Adventure families! And this reunion? It was filled with so many exciting updates, sweet milestones, and wonderful moments worth celebrating! 📸 by @cassandrayoung Raynel, who joined us on our 2016 trip, showed us his super cool standing wheelchair, which helps him incorporate physical exercise into his day. We love seeing our kiddos find new ways to pursue the things that bring them joy and keep them moving forward. 📸 by @cassandrayoung Peyton, who joined us on our 2019 trip, is building an amazing online community through his love of video games. After a late night of gaming, Peyton reunited with Bert and Kristin and completely amazed her with how much he has grown into an incredible young man. 📸 by @amandacokerweiss Savanna Hall was the perfect place to kick off our wild day! Our families gathered across two levels and terraces overlooking the African Savanna, where three incredible elephants welcomed us. 📸 by @amandacokerweiss We surprised Sky, who joined us on our 2025 trip, with the most decadent chocolate cake for her 8th birthday! The whole room erupted in happy birthday cheers as we celebrated this special milestone with her. 📸 by @sarahesther 📸 by @sarahesther Each kiddo received an adorable lion wearing a Bert’s Big Adventure t-shirt, along with @gas_south sunglasses, ready to take on their wild day! 📸 by @amandacokerweiss 📸 by @amandacokerweiss From little ones riding the zoo train to co
