About Us

Welcome to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. Located 5 miles North of Alabama's Beaches in Gulf Shores, our wildlife park spans 25 acres of natural beauty and was proudly voted Best Attraction for Visitors by Best of Baldwin. Here, adventure awaits at every corner—whether you're getting up close and personal with our friendly sloths and playful lemurs, feeding the majestic giraffes, strolling through the serene Munsell Sustainable Garden, or soaring above it all on the “Soaring Eagle” zip line for a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the zoo. With an array of unforgettable experiences, there's truly something for everyone at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo.

Parents with strollers, families seeking educational fun, or beach breaks find solace here. Seniors seeking camaraderie, relaxation, even special encounters - we're ideal.

And if you really want something extra unforgettable, stop in for a one-on-one, up-close experience with a few of our friendliest friends at our Animal Encounters! Each adventure is in a safe, zookeeper-supervised environment and is appropriate for all ages. Be sure to have a camera ready to capture these amazing moments to share with friends and family! Lemurs, Sloths, and Giraffe feeding.
