What started in 1989 as Zooland Animal Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama is today a seven-acre home to over 500 animals such as lions, tigers, primates, bears, leopards, wolves, and many others. Visitors stroll along wide paths between the reptile house, aviary, a petting zoo, a shaded picnic area, and a gift shop. There are animal shows, keeper talks, and hands-on visits to kangaroos and other animals. Kids can cuddle baby red kangaroos, play with four red ruffed lemurs, touch giant boa constrictors, watch slow, sleepy sloths, and learn about other wild animals (many of them endangered and rare) in their natural environment. There is always something interesting happening in the Gulf Coast Zoo.
