This is a rescue zoo with a wide variety of animals. There are a few "encounter" experiences available--with kangaroos, lemurs, and baby tigers--for varying prices. We loved the lemur experience! Lots of zoo staff around caring for the animals.

This is a well-preserved coastal wildlife habitat with an extensive network of hiking trails. Most of the Gulf Shores area is heavily developed with vacation properties, restaurants, and entertainment, but you can come to this refuge to check out what the area looked like before it was developed. Lots of wildlife to check out depending on the time of year.
