Private Events
Throughout the beautifully landscaped twenty-five acres of the new Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo we have integrated a variety of venues that can provide a unique location for your upcoming event. We have both indoor and outdoor locations. If you are unsure of which venue would best be suited to your event, one of our Event Planner consultants will be happy to make recommendations to you based on the number of guests and type of event you are hosting.
Your personal Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo Event Planner consultant will set the tone for the level of service that you can expect from the entire food and beverage team. From the moment that we have the pleasure of your introduction to the completion of your event our mantra is “the answer is yes, what’s the question?” Every one of our team members are empowered to see to it that we deliver the kind of service and responsiveness you expect at your event. We realize that you had choices and our service goal is 100% guest satisfaction and ultimately your satisfaction that you made the right decision.
