Zoo relocates front entrance

The Birmingham Zoo entrance has been relocated as a part of construction for a new front entrance.

Starting Monday, guests are entering 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 for the construction on the new Arrival Experience and Front Entrance in September.

“We are excited at the opportunity to give back to the community that has supported us throughout the years,” Birmingham Zoo President and CEO Dr. William Foster said. “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.”

As visitors enter the zoo parking lot, they will be directed to continue toward 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 follow the posted rules during the construction period.
