Attraction

Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo

1204 Gulf Shores Parkway, Gulf Shores, 36542, AL

Cuddle up with a tiger cub, hold a baby kangaroo, and laugh at the leaping lemurs at this intimate and interactive Gulf Shores animal haven. Featured on the Animal Planet Series, “The Little Zoo that Could,” the attraction offers many hands-on opportunities for visitors to learn about residents, and inevitably take home a newfound appreciation for the animal world. Book animal encounters (fees vary) in advance, and be sure to bring a few extra dollars for zoo-animal snacks; feeding the residents is a highlight of any Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo visit. Coming soon: a new hurricane-proof location situated four-miles north, slated to be the first fully green zoo in the U.S.
