I love this place! It’s a drive through only cute little house that never disappoints. It’s super convenient near the airport. As a bonus there are tons of sugar free flavor options.

Great baked oysters here. I visit this place regularly - often multiple times a week when I’m in Gulf Shores. They do a great job with take out as well.

This is a great small zoo. It is an affordable excursion and they offer animal encounters for a nominal extra charge. Our favorite is the Lemur encounter, but have also enjoyed the kangaroos and sloths. :)
