The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is the coolest classroom ever! Zoology, biology, ecology, geology, geography, conservation . . . Where else can teachers bring students of all ages to one unique place, surrounded by over 600 exotic animals, to learn about the amazing variety of life or “bio-diversity” of Planet Earth? We welcome both public and private school groups. Our zookeepers provide easy-to-understand science-based information and fun factoids about our zoo animals that will energize kids to keep learning, both inside and outside of the classroom. We hope we can inspire teachers too.
