"Audubon Park, which runs from St. Charles Avenue down to the Mississippi River, is home to the Audubon Zoo and Audubon Aquarium. It’s the green space itself, though, that we like to explore, for its ancient oak trees and awesome playgrounds. There's also Bird Island, a nesting and migratory base for thousands of birds, which sits in the middle of a lagoon, and the Tree of Life, a favorite spot for climbing—unless a wedding is taking place there, of course." - Stirling Kelso
