This is a small zoo, they don't make any claim to be the biggest, but what they do, they do very well. We decided to go at the last minute and didn't plan well, so we weren't there for any of the shows, but will plan on it next time. The kids loved feeding the animals. The zoo is very... more

We visited the Gulf Shores Zoo today and I was very impressed! Unfortunately, we were there around noon and it was blazing hot so almost all the big cats were asleep in the shade. You can get very close to the animals and the zoo was very, very clean and easy to naviagate. Any bird lovers would be totally impressed... more

It was hot, but my whole family still enjoyed it. It is a small zoo, but very clean and the staff were all extremely friendly. I didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely return on my next vacation to the Alabama Gulf coast. We got lucky and happened to see Patty Hall in the park. She treated... more

Went to this zoo in June 2008 and was pleasantly surprised. You can get upclose to the animals and they all were very active. Besides the extreme heat it was a wonderful trip and only took an hour and a half to view the entire zoo. The only complaint would be the parking lot outside the zoo, it was not... more

Went in 2007 and was the highlight of our trip. My dad, who is super stingy, stayed outside while I went with my husband, 3 daughters and mom to the zoo. He missed out! The girls got to see animals up close and personal, and the staff was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgable. I believe those animals were treated with... more

After watching them on TV, it makes you wonder how they could go through so much and still have a positive attitude. My husband and I enjoyed our time there tremendously! No, it's not the biggest zoo or the best zoo that we have ever visited (and we have visited many) but we give them an A+ for all the... more

For us, with a two year old and a four year old, this zoo was perfect. We spent about 2 hours total here - which was plenty of time for my little ones, plus it was HOT the day we went. My kids got their "zoo fix" and we didn't have to spend an entire day or an entire billfoldfull... more

We went to the zoo, was a fun little activity but nothing grand. I am glad we went just because of the incredible story they have from going thru the hurricanes and everything. Not alot of animals at all but it's privately owned. more

Has been on the Animal Channel many times. Small, but very clean with a very good assortment of animals. People are great. more
