Experience the adventure of the zoo up close with our Bring the Zoo to You Ambassador Program!
Designed to educate and inspire, this outreach initiative brings our animal ambassadors and expert zookeepers directly to schools, libraries, community centers, special events, and more.
Our engaging presentations showcase incredible animals while highlighting conservation, animal behavior, and the vital role zoos play in protecting wildlife.
Our local communities play a very important role in life at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo! Book a visit and let us bring the adventure of the zoo to you!
Interacting with some of the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo’s most gentle and friendliest creatures in our Animal Adventures program is an educational experience beyond compare. Under the guidance of our keepers, we’re able to engage each participant and teach them about the animal species in its natural habitat and status in the wild, its life at the zoo, and so much more.
Ask a zookeeper what they like best about their job – other than caring for animals – and their answer is always teaching kids (grown-ups too) about animals. Through our many Keeper Presentations, enjoy fun, engaging educational experiences! Chat with our zookeepers to learn and get exciting insights into the lives of our animals, as we inspire the next generation of zookeepers!
