Birmingham Zoo Front Entrance to Move in Preparation for Upcoming Construction

Beginning Monday, August 17, the Birmingham Zoo will transition the current front entrance to its new location at the Junior League of Birmingham – Hugh Kaul Children’s Zoo Breezeway entrance. The relocated front entrance is equipped with a special entrance for Zoo Members and with ticket booths for guests. The front entrance move is the first step in preparing the Zoo for the construction on the new Arrival Experience and Front Entrance beginning September, 2015. With the construction underway, the Zoo is working to make sure guests continue to have a great Zoo experience.

“We are excited at the opportunity to give back to the community that has supported us throughout the years. With the construction beginning soon, we aim to make the Birmingham Zoo an even more significant asset of the Birmingham community. Through several innovative and new improvements, we will be able to accommodate more guests and further the Zoo’s mission of Inspiring Passion for the Natural World,” says Birmingham Zoo President and CEO Dr. William Foster.

As visitors enter the Zoo parking lot, they will be directed to continue towards the Junior League of Birmingham – Hugh Kaul Children’s Zoo, to the right of the Zoo’s former front entrance.  For the safety of guests and the construction crew, the Zoo asks the public to please follow the posted rules during the construction period.
