It’s been extraordinarily hot this summer and it seems as though it isn’t going to stop anytime soon.
If you are coming to the Zoo, please visit as early in the day as possible to see the animals before they seek out the cooler, more hidden areas of their exhibits.
Our dedicated staff provides the animals with various ways and opportunities to stay cool in this heat.
For some species, this means providing them access to their holding barns. These animals have the choice to come and go from their barns. All the animals will seek out the coolest parts of their exhibit during the heat of the day.
Look for animals in the shade and shadows of their exhibits, nestled down in the cooler grass, and don’t forget to check out the reptile house where it is always cool in the summer and warmer in the winter.

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!
There is a great little enclosed bird area with turtles where you can sit and watch the birds. They also have a great gift shop with wonderful gift items.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We had a great time watching the animals and will definitely be back!
