Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, Zoo in Gulf Shores, United States.
The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo extends across 25 acres, housing over 300 animals including lions, tigers, giraffes, lemurs, and diverse reptile species.
The facility opened in 1989 as Zooland Animal Park through the initiative of Robin Willis and Joey Ward, later forming the Zoo Foundation nonprofit organization.
The zoo gained national recognition through Animal Planet's television series The Little Zoo That Could, documenting its recovery from multiple hurricanes.
The zoo operates daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with adult admission at $22.95, senior tickets at $19.95, and children aged 3-12 entering for $14.95.
This facility became the first zoo in the United States to complete a full-scale evacuation during a hurricane, moving all animals 15 miles inland.
