The Gulf Breeze Zoo (originally The Zoo Northwest Florida) is a 50-acre (20 ha) zoo located in Navarre, Florida. One of the primary missions of the zoo will be environmental education and making visitors be more aware and sensitive of the natural world around them. Alligator Alley is a swamp sanctuary with an elevated boardwalk where you can get an up close view hundreds of alligators & wildlife in their natural. The area represents Central, South and North America and will include a pool and stream system for capybaras, the world’s largest rodent. A boardwalk connects the Africa area to the Americas and crosses over a wooded area that will be home to the zoo’s timber wolves. The Outback will also be home to Adventure Mountain, a kids’ playground perched up on a hill overlooking the zoo. Chuckie became an international star for a few days after Hurricane Ivan when he went in the marshes of Gulf Shores. A moat surrounding a new reptile house will house one are of the zoo’s most famous residents, Chuckie, the 12-foot alligator. Groundbreaking was March 13, 2018.Īmong the new zoo’s highlights: In the center of the new zoo, visitors will be able to ride through zebra- and tiger-striped safari cars guided through the area on a track. The new 25-acre zoo is funded through a construction bond. The new zoo grand opening and all the surrounding fanfare such a project deserves, will be held sometime in early 2020, which will give the nearly 500 animals that will make the seven mile journey to their new home plenty of time to get acclimated before receiving visitors. The zoo will remain in operation in its current downtown Gulf Shores location through at least Thanksgiving. For more info, visit alabamagulfcoastzoo.

Makes me wonder how the are treated by the employees. See the shape of these animals almost made me want to release them all and take them to a better place. Did not see elephants? The only thing interesting was the giraffes. Only saw 1 tiger- what about a friend? He looked lonely. What really got to me this time was how sad the animals looked. Seriously? I came to the zoo a few years back and was not happy then.
