Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo Full Tour - Gulf Shores, Alabama

Located in the coastal town of Gulf Shores, world-renowned for its beautiful white-sand beaches, the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is one of the most popular family attractions in the region. Also known as the "Little Zoo" for its starring role in the 2006 hit documentary series, The Little Zoo That Could on Animal Planet, this non-profit zoological park is not just a little community zoo; it's home to over 199 species, 31 sub-species, and haven to 8 endangered species.

The zoo is about 6 miles from the beach. Tucked just off the main highway, visitors feel like they have entered a tropical urban oasis filled with intriguing sounds from our rich diversity of exotic animals. Whether it's the distinctive call from our peacocks or chatter from our monkeys you are instantly transported out of life's hustle and bustle into our peaceful kingdom.

Spread out over 25 acres with wide pathways, yet providing close-up views of our exhibits, the zoo also has picnic areas, rest stops and benches, a on site restaurant, and a gift shop filled with awesome animal-themed "merch". We are ideally suited for all ages and levels of mobility, from moms pushing strollers to seniors leisurely strolling. We are also disability accessible and provide free parking!

118 species, 22 critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, or near threatened species
The inhabitants of the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo are a richly diverse and decidedly unique population for a small-town community zoo. Every single animal has a name and a backstory. Some were rescues after being orphaned, abandoned, or abused. Others were unwanted for being too big or difficult to handle by their owners, or too old or sick to matter anymore, yet we always made room and provided a soft spot. And some of our animals were born at the zoo, joined the family as companions, or were gifted to the zoo, knowing that they couldn't live at a better place. No matter their beginnings or their circumstances, they all have a loving and safe home at our little zoo.
