Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo recently opened a new exhibit featuring its newest furry residents. The park debuted its Sloth Barn on Sept. 2, 2022, allowing visitors to observe sloths in an immersive experience. While guests are not allowed to hold or pet the sloths, the exhibit offers the unique opportunity to see the friendly animals up close while walking through the exhibit.
