We’re the owls from Georgia Southern University’s Center for Wildlife Education with a few words of wisdom before FROGWARTS takes over Georgia State Railroad Museum and Savannah Children’s Museum this Sunday, Oct. 25.

NO LEVITATING. Owls are the only ones doing that around here, us and the actual Quidditch pros. Keep your feet on the ground and brooms under control.

Magical forecast: Our nature connections tell us Savannah will have beautiful fall weather, with sunshine and temperatures in the low to mid-70s this Sunday. You're welcome.

Museums open at 11AM: Not our usual opening time to allow for festival setup. Don't blame us. We're owls.

Your train time is NOT your arrival time: Have a 1PM train ticket? Excellent. You can arrive when the gates open at 11AM and enjoy the festivities until 3PM.

Free parking. There's a free parking lot in front of the museum.

Here's what your ticket includes:
• Train rides and handcar rides
• Teddy Bear Hospital
• LIVE OWLS (obviously, the best part)
• Reptiles
• Quill writing, charms, candle-making
• A walk-in inflatable right whale from Tybee Island Marine Science Center. Become a whale wizard.
• STEAM activities with 18 community partners
• Model trains and more wizardly surprises

Wands are important: Custom-made wands are available for $12.

Food trucks will on site with provisions for sale.

Train rides can sell out. Get your tickets now through the link in our comments.
