I was born and Raised in Alabama, And I had no clue this place existed! Thanks man!! Looks like this is where we are going on our next Family Vacation :)
Gulf Shores was my summer childhood in the 90's. Dennys Best Western on the beach! Giant waterfall in the pool , meals day round. I love this town. Who remembers Coconut Willie's??
The new zoo looks so much better than when we went back in 2014, the animals looked awful. It’s a very good thing the new woman took over she’s done a wonderful job with the place!
I went here from my summer camp which was in Mobile. It was so much fun but then I lost my sunglasses there. Also another fun place is Gulf Islands Waterpark in Mississippi!
And so much more. AL is a great State to live or visit. Make plans now! From the Gulf of Mexico, deep Sea fishing to N AL with some of the best hunting and fishing in the Country. Mountains to hike and wonderful State parks. Talladege Motor Speedway, the Worlds fastest race track and Barbers race track in Leeds, AL that also features the Worlds largest motorcycle museum. The list goes on and on. VISIT.

But, it’s easy to get to, parking is a breeze (though we got to the beach around 11). You do pay for parking, but it’s not expensive and having an easy walk do the beach is worth it. Also, there are public restrooms that are decent. We liked being away from all the “touristy” stuff.
alright that's cool. if y'all do happen to make it back up this way this year come in october the pensacola interstate fair is in town with a few roller coasters to also check out. just a local tip for y'all.
Ahhhz Six Jensen MAINLY the Red Roof I think? One key unlocks all of the doors 😬 But it also happens in other parts too. Don’t go anywhere that isn’t very crowded or try not to go anywhere alone. Going out at night also isn’t a good idea.
We are down here currently and its been great so far. We live in AL but rarely take trips. Fishing is pretty neat and resturants are always nice lol. Theres dolphin seeing stuff too.
No a roadside attraction with animals doesn’t take care of their animals. I feel like that’s a nice little zoo. The new zoo tho feels like it will be more of a state zoo then just a little city zoo.
I really hope OWA does well. Didn't look like many people were there. I wish I'd gone to Hard Rock Park before it closed. Rolling Thunder at Coney Island is jerky as heck. The Alabama Wham’a chair flat ride is like a mix between a paratrooper and enterprise. Looks like a blast. www.zamperla.com/products/endeavour/ visitowa.com/explore/the-park/alabama-whama/ Waterville was badly flooded from hurricane Ivan. Glad they opened back up (~3 years later). Hopefully the new zoo there has much larger enclosures. I hate small zoos because the enclosures are usually small. Gatlinburg and Sevierville have zoos even smaller than this. You sure don't mind spending big money on drinks and snacks. :)
I HIGHLY recommend the Hurricane and fried gator bites at the Pink Pony Pub! Also, take some wet wipes and maybe a spare t-shirt if you go into the lemur experience, they peed on my wife!.....I know, I know....who wouldn't want a shower made of gold, right?
The Chocolate Labs it's a fun place believe me, definitely go to the beach, I'd recommend put put golf as well, as for local food places..couldn't find anything special, I'd avoid "the gulf" because the lines are long, and the food is not good, but they do have fast food around like Krystal and Burger King, I'd recommend just looking for some food your interested in,
The Chocolate Labs ay no problem, I went in May and I might be going again in July, hope you enjoy, also bring money, they have way too many tempting shirts and collectibles, Alvin's island alone made me broke, 😂
Yup, that is when the video was over for me. I don't like looking at sad caged animals. Yikes. Sad it is 2020 and we still treat animals this way for human entertainment.
@@pinkfloydmeddle6692 I am going to go out on a limb and assume you have no professional studies in animal growth, psych, and development, no training in vet health, etc. But yet, you have an opinion based on?....
Bahaha BITCHES! I LIVE IN GULF SHORES ALABAMA!!! Haha I also have PASSES to OWA! And I go to orange beach all the time I actually have a house and not a condo
Hi employee at OWA! Thank you for including our park, our tickets are currently $19.99 now!
I will be there next Friday. Is it still $19.99?
Yes I went to Owa back in early March it was pretty awesome that coaster was really good and they got that spinning pendulum thing
Can't wait to be down here in a couple weeks
I have been there 12 years ago when I was 21 😊nice memories, miss it
Beware of of the speed traps along Beach Boulevard. The speed limits drop to 25MPH in various spots and are watched like a hawk.
Gene Mean ...
THANK YOU😇,
GOD BLESS YOU!!!
@@carlaelkins5440 In
Gulf Shores police are very dangerous beware.
I was born and Raised in Alabama, And I had no clue this place existed! Thanks man!! Looks like this is where we are going on our next Family Vacation :)
I would go somewhere else. Too many speed traps along Beach Boulevard.
Gene Mean just feed them bears a sassy ass fried shit donut . That should keep the cops off of your back.
@Nicholas P I thought the same thing. 🤣🤣🤣
There's also Dauphin Island in Mobile County. An actual island. We have beaches in Alabama.
I was watching this video when I was in my condo at Gulf Shores I always go to Gulf Shores every summer with my family and it's a great and safe Beach
Same going to Alabama tomorrow
I’m going in 35 days❤️❤️❤️
I'm going for fourth of july to a friends condo and I have no idea what do do any suggestions?
PLEASE DON'T GO!! PEOPLE ARE BEING SEX TRAFFICKED THERE!!
I always go to panama city beach but because of corona my dad was hesitant about going out of state so we’re going to gulf shores this year
Florabama, the gulf, the wharf, lulus, fat daddy’s arcades, tanger outlet mall. So much more than that in Gulf-shores.
i just went to lulus yesterday and it was so goood
Thank you for showing this video. Gives me plenty of ideas on what to do in Gulf Shores.
Gulf Shores was my summer childhood in the 90's. Dennys Best Western on the beach! Giant waterfall in the pool , meals day round. I love this town. Who remembers Coconut Willie's??
Nice city, been there 11 years before, was happy to see many good changes
A chain link fence between me and a lion? Yep, this is definitely in Alabama. Gotta love my state
Considering I paid over $35 for like 5 Zamperla rides at Coney Island, this feels like a pretty good deal. Location seems really relaxing as well.
Can’t wait to go! This is my years vacation!
Same lol
I enjoy vacationing at Orange Beach Alabama. Lamberts is my favorite restaurant in that area located in Foley Alabama
I watched this video to see what all was here since I’m going here on 5/20/19 for my honors society field trip
It's too bad the creator of this video doesn't have a clue about what's happening in the area. Hopefully you didn't listen to him.
The new zoo looks so much better than when we went back in 2014, the animals looked awful. It’s a very good thing the new woman took over she’s done a wonderful job with the place!
This is why I loved living in the 251. Gotta get back there soon
good video, shows there is plenty to do on vacation in AL.
i was there yesterday at the beach. it's beautiful place.
I love gulf shores I've been there so many times!!!!
Went there as a kid in the 90s and its a trip that some of the stuff is the same.
at 3:30 you can hear a guy on the twister yell "OH SHIT!"
Check out the beaches in Michigan if you ever head North!!!
Been to about half these places! Really fun and definitely recommend.
The shark place is awesome, we go every time we head down there :)
I went here from my summer camp which was in Mobile. It was so much fun but then I lost my sunglasses there. Also another fun place is Gulf Islands Waterpark in Mississippi!
Great review!!
I'm going next Monday! I live in Texas so it'll be a 7 hour drive but it's worth it once there!
I’m going there Saturday
@@Lifewlayahhh I hope you have fun!
Same Monday but i live in Louisiana so 5 and a half
PPL ARE BEING SEX TRAFFICKED THERE!! BE CAREFUL
@@bog4543 that'll be an experience
Yes! Blue Moon Belgian White is my favorite beer! You've got good taste sir. :)
Daniel Worley fuck u
Everyone is like omg and I’m like I live there
Raine Reynolds 🖕
So do I!!! What part of town???
OMG tell me about it
You are extremely lucky!

i live in the area, still never been to OWA lol
Like the video, good work. I’ll have to fly there and check it out! Can’t go wrong with the beach!
I just got back from gulf shores today and we went to the park
This should be titled amusement park rides review.
I own a second home there, love the beach year round!
I’m 25, California born and raised. I never knew Alabama had this lol.
And so much more. AL is a great State to live or visit. Make plans now! From the Gulf of Mexico, deep Sea fishing to N AL with some of the best hunting and fishing in the Country. Mountains to hike and wonderful State parks. Talladege Motor Speedway, the Worlds fastest race track and Barbers race track in Leeds, AL that also features the Worlds largest motorcycle museum.

People in CA have got to get out and explore the rest of the country
Showing support my friend been on the road alot
Been there lots of fun
We’re going to gulf shores
Wow I was there that day getting my new skimboard...
Great video and informative!
The park at Zamperla
Yeah lol but the coasters improved alot expescially the Wild Mouse Coaster they made the drop less steep and other improvements.
@@ThoosieJP there adding a 100k square feet indoor water park with a sliding roof and a rv park and a 200 room hotel/resort
Heading down over the fourth, what should i hit up?
The boardwalk was in a turtle pond
I went there!
Good video 👍
I've been to waterville it's great
Rolling thunder looks fun
Love the Gulf Shores. Though we prefer the state parks in the area.
Recommend?

Wow nice park i like
I go owa all the time
What about the ocean views, the water?
Nice video
okay but where is that sassy bass crazy donuts? I couldn’t find it when i was in gulf shores
Sassy Bass Crazy Donuts is now located in the shopping area outside the OWA amusement park
In the Loop oh thank you :0
sam's fun city in pensacola got a new roller coaster called the emerald coaster. can you do a review of it?
Don’t think we will be getting back up that way this year
alright that's cool. if y'all do happen to make it back up this way this year come in october the pensacola interstate fair is in town with a few roller coasters to also check out. just a local tip for y'all.
Why were there so many spinning rides at OWA? Lol
Kids love rides like that.
I never been here. Since my cruise was canceled, maybe I’ll go here if the governor of Alabama open it up.
TamikasWorld Please don't. People are being sex trafficked there. DO NOT GO
Etho The Frog that’s cap
Ahhhz Six Jensen It's not, please stay safe.
Etho The Frog where is it happening at
Ahhhz Six Jensen MAINLY the Red Roof I think? One key unlocks all of the doors 😬 But it also happens in other parts too. Don’t go anywhere that isn’t very crowded or try not to go anywhere alone. Going out at night also isn’t a good idea.
Oml I cant wait to get there on my vacation on payday
I just moved here. You will love it!
So is there anything worthwhile to do in Gulf Shores in late December?
We are down here currently and its been great so far. We live in AL but rarely take trips. Fishing is pretty neat and resturants are always nice lol. Theres dolphin seeing stuff too.

You sure don't mind spending big money on drinks and snacks. :)
Anyone else planning to hit Waterville U.S.A. before they close Cannonball Run this year?
What part and section is planned to close and when at waterville USA? Is that part older or unsafe, what's the reason if known. Thanks.
Don’t need any other beach for vacation.

I LIVE IN GS ALABAMA
I'm going Monday with12 other people
Florbama
I HIGHLY recommend the Hurricane and fried gator bites at the Pink Pony Pub! Also, take some wet wipes and maybe a spare t-shirt if you go into the lemur experience, they peed on my wife!.....I know, I know....who wouldn't want a shower made of gold, right?
I work at owa lol
Thats not an ocean its a Gulf (Gulf Breeze )
I am going to Gulf shores In 1 month and 29 days :(
The Chocolate Labs it's a fun place believe me, definitely go to the beach, I'd recommend put put golf as well, as for local food places..couldn't find anything special, I'd avoid "the gulf" because the lines are long, and the food is not good, but they do have fast food around like Krystal and Burger King, I'd recommend just looking for some food your interested in,
Zachary Middleton thanks 🙏 I am going very soon so thank you for the suggestion. :)
The Chocolate Labs ay no problem, I went in May and I might be going again in July, hope you enjoy, also bring money, they have way too many tempting shirts and collectibles, Alvin's island alone made me broke, 😂
👏❤
BESTIE I WATCHED A MAN DIE THEYRE YESTER DAY IN THE SAND AND THE POLICE JUST HOLD A BLANKET OVER THEM WTF
We were at owa with a bunch of friends and we broke the frog ride we were all about 12 13 and 14

Legend
When did that happen?
PLEASE STOP CALLING IT O.W
A. It's called "Owa"
Nothing fun or sustaining there. Not my idea of a family oriented, or safe time.
First
Beautiful animals in small cages at the zoo. Sad. Don't belong there.
Yup, that is when the video was over for me. I don't like looking at sad caged animals. Yikes. Sad it is 2020 and we still treat animals this way for human entertainment.
Animals don't care. As long as they have food they're happy. Animals aren't like humans

Elvis Sinatra Cash Animals need their space.
They built a new location and it is way bigger. It was on Animal Planet as the Little Zoo That Could.
Bahaha BITCHES! I LIVE IN GULF SHORES ALABAMA!!! Haha I also have PASSES to OWA! And I go to orange beach all the time I actually have a house and not a condo
