Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo

Each of the 300+ animals at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo has a story to tell. Many of them are rescued from various dangerous situations or they have traveled to our gulf coast from a variety of origins. The dedication of the zoo staff and the Zoo director, Patti Hall, is nothing short of extraordinary.

This loyalty was put to the supreme test with animal evacuations for Hurricanes Ivan, Dennis and Katrina – a feat never performed by any zoo in the United States. Local and national media has resulted in a 13-part television series on Animal Planet entitled "The Little Zoo that Could." Animal Planet is not only telling the story of our Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo but also building an awareness of our beautiful coast.

Education is an important mission of the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo therefore school groups often visit. One week each summer is devoted to Zoo Camp for various age groups and this educational experience is very popular for local residents as well as visitors.

Meyer Real Estate’s Family Fun entertainment packages include zoo visits along with many other fun activities (ask our Vacation Package Coordinator about the details). Each winter we schedule a Meyer Day at the Zoo for our Winter Guests that includes an animal show. This event is always one of the top choices of our winter customers and the feedback is overwhelmingly positive.
