The Tamandua (which is basically an anteater) is right next to the sloth as well. The sloths and the lemurs are the most unique experience and therefore have the longest lines so head there first if you plan to do them. These encounters can really add up, so I recommend that you pick one or two. Well, it was until we got to play with baby lemurs!Įach of the encounters cost additional to the entry fee and can be bought when you arrive with your general admission ticket, or if you have exact change you can purchase at the encounter. There are two sloths at the zoo that you can meet and feed and was by far the highlight of our day.
To be completely honest the main reason my family decided to drive to Gulf Shores this summer was because we found out this zoo had a sloth, and I have a sloth obsessed teenage boy. What really sets the zoo apart from the others however, are their animal encounters of which they have six! We were fortunate to have our own guide to walk around with and she really added to our enjoyment of the day. We visited in June and the heat and humidity in southern Alabama in the summer is no joke, yet the staff always had their smiles on and was ready to field the hundreds of questions asked by kids on a daily basis. You won’t find a friendlier or more knowledgeable group of people at any other zoo. The answer is that it’s really small when compared to other zoos, but all 5 kids that were traveling with me agreed it was their favorite zoo! We loved it from the moment we walked in the door and I can’t wait to tell you why! Staff If you check into the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo on Facebook it will check you into “The Little Zoo That Could.” That had me wondering, “Just how small is this zoo?”
We were provided complimentary admission to the Zoo for the purpose of this review, however, all opinions are our own.
