Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, Gulf Shores

Love everything about this zoo. It's very close to home and my 5 yr old daughter enjoyed it. There is a nice variety of animals and the setting is fairly intimate. It's an easy walking facility with a lovely gift shop and a sit-down restaurant, that is reasonably priced. We spent 3 hours here which was perfect. I opted for the family annual membership, which was a great deal if you plan on visiting more than 2 times a year. I can see at least 6 visits a year in my future. I think fall/winter weather is perfect for this venue.

We had an amazing experience at the zoo! Came during the holiday break in late December, and most of the animals were out and in close proximity to guests walking around. Loved the up close experience. Giraffe feeding was very neat, there were also sloth encounters and a kangaroo encounter. Highly recommend this zoo!
