We settled on Orange Beach, as none of us had been there before. Being spring break, I was not sure how busy it would be and how hard it would be to park. We were pleasantly surprised to find parking with ease and the beach was busy but not packed. Orange Beach has a small-town feel, friendly locals, and a laid-back vibe. Its beaches are pristine white sand and free of trash. I would consider this to be a family-friendly beach. With kids building sandcastles and splashing in the waves and we even saw a pirate ship that occasionally sounded a cannonball sound. Looking forward to spending many more days on this beach.

This is a perfect little spot for a family to have picnic or playtime for a spell.

Admission priced reasonably (I think it was $9/person for adults), and staff was very nice/willing to educate you. Animals were absolutely adorable - you could even hold baby goats. Absolutely would recommend this place to anyone traveling w/people that love barnyard animals. Only caveat is that they were only open on weekends, 10-4, during the time we visited in early May 2021.

We chose campsite number 479 right next to Mission Lake and the pedestrian bridge that takes you to the ocean. This campground is so clean, beautiful, and offers multiple bathrooms with showers and restrooms. The bathrooms are clean and the showers have enough space to shower and change. Each campsite I've seen has a dump station and water, which has come in handy. There's also Wi-Fi! There's also a restaurant on the campgrounds and tomorrow night we are going to listen to live music and have a few drinks. I've truly loved my stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone! We were only going to stay for four nights but we extended it to a week because we are having such a great time.

We went on a Tuesday during spring break, and there was plenty of parking and no line for tickets. The tickets and add-ons (carousel, turtle and giraffe feedings, sloth encounter) were very reasonably priced. My oldest (3) rode the carousel multiple times; it was her favorite part of our visit. We also participated in the giraffe feeding, which lacked some organization, but otherwise was a cool experience. There are two playgrounds, one on each end of the zoo. Unlike any other zoo I've ever visited, you could get incredibly close to the animals, especially the lions. The green python put on a captivating show while we all watched, mouths agape. We witnessed a heron (?) savagely attacking a giant frog (see my pictures and video) in the lemur island area. The on-site restaurant, Safari & Vine, is FABULOUS. The menu has a broad array of global options for any palate. My husband and I were both talked into the SHARK burger (sustainably fished and blended with pork), which I wouldn't order again, but had to try once (it was lean like a turkey burger). Can't say enough good things!
