going to New York perhaps… While the kids are playing in the sand and burying dad on the beach mom can go shopping, hit the salon or day spa, check out the local art galleries or go catch a movie in the laid back town of Gulf Shores, Alabama. Of course mom could be getting buried right next to dad if we were talking about my family J.
(summer) or only the amusement park is open (spring and fall time). Waterville USA is great way to spend a day individually or with a large group.
Another fun way to spend a day “away” from the beach is to visit the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. Located just blocks away from the Gulf and home to almost 300 animals, the zoo is a 
place to visit for all ages. Check the website frequently for upcoming events and activities. The zoo offers a “Zoo Camp” where kids from 3 to 11 get to spend a full day learning about the zoo and what it takes to keep the doors open to the public.
If you are thinking of going to the zoo then you might as well head on over to Alligator Alley in Summerdale, Alabama which is only 30 minutes away from Gulf Shores. This gator farm is home to “Captain Crunch” who is over 13 feet long, weighs over 800 pounds and holds the record for the world’s strongest bite. Now that must something to see… Other marsh and estuary wild life can be observed like owls and turtles while you are keeping your eyes peeled for the alligator(s).
Doing all of these fun activities will make the vacationing family sleep well at night. Gulf Shores, Alabama really does accommodate and cater to the needs of families who choose to spend quality time and an adventurous time on their vacation.
