Early morning with showers before we arrived, the animals were active, staff friendly, and a lot less folks. However, some animal activities were delayed during our visit with potential lightning. Still, it was an enjoyable time for our group of 4 adults & 2 young children.

Always a must when in Gulf Shores!

We have never been to this zoo, and it sure is the “Little Zoo that Could!” We are on a family vacation with 4 children 5 and under. They all had fun and were so excited to see all the animals. We arrived right at 9am and all the animals were ready to show off!

We even got to watch the keepers interacting and providing enrichment which was such a cool experience. You can tell the workers loved the animals and are really dedicated to the care and treatment of the animals.

It took us around 2-2.5 hours to go around the whole zoo so it won’t be a full day trip, but it will definitely be a wonderful stop to make on your trip to Gulf Shores!

While visiting Orange Beach decided to visit the local zoo. What a great place, helpful employees who did a lot of explaining of animals feeding. It was a great walk. A great day. All the animals are very interesting and especially loved the herb garden..

I’ve been bringing my children here since they were little and now I’m bringing my grandchildren. I love our little zoo. It’s not too big and by the time the kiddos are wore out, we are all done. Everyone is so hospitable and kind. Cute gift shop and love feeding Ben the giraffe.

We loved our visit! Such an affordable option for a zoo. Plenty of animals to see. Loved how close you get to all of them. Very clean and tidy. Disappointed the tigers weren’t out though. But overall a fantastic experience! Our kids loved it.

Great little zoo for the kids! The highlights are 1)enough animals to keep the kids entertained 2)playgrounds 3)good price point. This is a great alternative location if you need a break from the beach or it’s a cloudy, windy day. Expect to spend 2-3 hours. It does get really busy later in the day. Food is average.
