    A Day Out at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo

    The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is a great place to bring kids for a fun day in Gulf Shores, Alabama.  Located off the island of Gulf Shores, the zoo re-opened with this location in 2020. If you’re a fan of Animal Planet, you may have heard of the show called “The Little Zoo That Could”. Gulf Shores Zoo is the setting of the show. It focuses on how the zoo is rebuilding after multiple hurricane evacuations in the mid-2000s. Here’s what to expect at the Alabama Gulf Shores Zoo.

    25+ Things to See and Do at Fisherman’s Wharf San Francisco

    I won’t lie: Fisherman’s Wharf is very touristy. However, the vibrancy, the stores, and the number of things to see and do in the area make it a great spot to visit. If you want to see the famous California Sea Lions of Pier 39, this is the spot to go. If you want to go on a day trip to Alcatraz or Angel’s Island, the piers are a short walk away. Need to eat after your day trip? This is the closest spot to grab a meal. Here’s a list of things to see and do at Fisherman’s Wharf San Francisco. A complete guide to the area, from someone…
