Beautiful Pensacola Beach 10 minutes away! Visitors are drawn to Pensacola to experience its beautiful, off-the-beaten-path beaches and outstanding waterfront restaurants serving fresh, local seafood. Pensacola has so much to offer in terms of the arts, culture and its thriving culinary scene. But the main draw, for good reason, remains its turquoise waters and white-sand beaches populated by visitors and friendly locals alike. This quintessential U.S. beach town is home to the Gulf Islands National Seashore, which is the longest federally protected seashore in the country. Looking for more relaxation than adventure? Make your way to Pensacola Beach to enjoy beachside seafood shacks and brightly colored beach chairs perched on top of 100% quartz sand washed down from the Appalachian Mountains.

Gulf Breeze Zoo

The Gulf Breeze Zoo is home to more than 1000 animals from nearly every continent and of almost every size – from 1-ounce budgies to 6,000-pound rhinos. Learn more about all of them, especially our featured animals.

Conservation

The Gulf Breeze Zoo is dedicated to wildlife conservation through public education, captive breeding programs, habitat preservation, and providing financial aid and assistance to projects in the wild.

We have provided aid – in the form of grants and ongoing programs, listed below – in more than 135 countries around the globe. Trying to solve the world's continually changing wildlife concerns, the Gulf Breeze Zoo collaborates with other zoos and field experts to support rhinoceros and elephant anti-poaching units, install artificial nest sites for wild penguins and translocate giraffes across the Nile to boost sustainable genetics. Conservation is important not just for the species in foreign countries but also for many of our local animal friends. Our goal is to assist in the conservation of local and national species by giving them as much attention as we do to the larger, more well-known species.

The Gulf Breeze Zoo is privately owned and receives zero tax dollars. Funding for conservation programs is made possible through the continued support of zoo guests. Conservation is fundamental in our daily operations, and visitors are encouraged to join us in making a difference on this journey.
