Local Animal Encounters: It’s a Jungle Out There—and an Ocean, a Swamp and a Forest! by Jenny Diamond
It’s that time of year before the summer heat hits when the days are comfortably warm and breezy, and if you’re looking to get outside and do something different, consider visiting one of the many small farms, rescues and preserves in our area that offer fun and informative animal encounters and conservation education. Though the encounters and entertainment at these venues are primarily geared to appeal to kids, adults will enjoy these animal meet-and-greets as well! If you’re looking for a larger animal park, check out the Gulf Breeze Zoo, the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo and the Gulfarium. This is only a short list of encounters available within an hour of Pensacola, though there are plenty more! ››
