The Coastal Alabama Business Chamber and the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting with a large crowd in attendance. As the ribbon dropped the crowds quickly moved toward the zoo gates. The first visitors enjoyed walking the grounds, observing the animals in their spacious enclosures, feeding the giraffes and meeting the baby kangaroos.
