Audubon Zoo

What a cool zoo lots to see this weekend. The dinosaurs exhibit was pretty awesome. They even had Dinosaurs rides for children. Next weekend is boo at the zoo. The train is a tram ride, not an actual train, just a heads up. We spent a good amount of the day here and saw lots of animals.

This was my first time to Audubon Zoo and I was blown away! It is a beautiful property that is very well kept and has incredibly state of the art habitats for the animals. My friend and I did the Jaguar wild encounter and were enthralled by the knowledge and expertise of our Zoologist guide, Grace, who clearly has made remarkable relationships with the animals she cares for. We met Valerio, a very handsome male jaguar, and got to learn more about how the Zoo cares for him and advocates for his species in the wild. Staring into his big golden eyes was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend the wild encounters and a visit overall to this great Zoo!

All the animals seem well cared for. The cafe is super fast considering how busy they were! I suggest going when it’s not 90+ degrees unless you’re stopping at the lazy river while you’re there because it is a long walk especially with kids that are hot and tired! Staff is super friendly and helpful

One of the best zoos I have been to! It was about 100 degrees outside so many of the animals were staying cool in their hidden dorms. But so much to do and take in. Fair warning the bird house has the birds walking around with you. I’m a bit cautious of birds so that was SUPER NOT MY THING! But I can see a family easily being able to fill an entire day here and the price of admission is very reasonable for a family of four I would guess it’s about $100 (or less) for tickets. Also they have elephants.

Huge zoo. Expensive. You need to walk a lot to see the different animals. Staff is excellent. It is best to buy a combo pass or membership. It's probably one of the most picturesque zoos in the country.

I have not visited this zoo since I was a little kid and was so excited to visit. It is part of my recent vacation in New Orleans. When I was younger, I recall them having a shuttle that will take you from the aquarium to the zoo, but they no longer do that. You can catch a streetcar or just drive yourself. I just drove over there after I left the aquarium. I encourage visitors to the zoo to be patient when you are visiting in the summer, especially if it’s the afternoon. The animals are hot just like you are hot so you may not see all of them because they’ve gone in the indoor air conditioned part of their habitat to stay cool. I was suggesting visiting maybe closer to the morning before the sun is at the highest point and it’s the hottest part of the day. I probably would have done the same if I had not gone to the aquarium first. Some exhibits are currently closed for remodeling so you may not see everything right now, but it’s still a great zoo with plenty to see and lots to learn. While I missed, I don’t see the tiger. I did enjoy the aviary, the reptiles, the primates, and other parts of the zoo. The aviator was definitely my favorite though. I would love to go again, but probably in the fall or spring when it’s just a touch cooler. They also have a nice splash park in there, but I did not go to that part.

Wonderful zoo. Very well layed out and all the critters looked happy if hot. So were we but enjoyed it still. Like the new addition of a little lesson and close up view of a creature that is available at various times through our the day.

The zoo itself is amazing! The whole walk is beautiful. Lots of reptiles in a cool building, a very beautiful bird aviary, cute sea lions, and beautiful habitats. Several exhibits offer very close up clear views of the animals. Expect to take at least 2 hours to walk through the entirety of the zoo! Be warned that everything is very expensive. Wagons are $15 each to rent. All food and drinks are very pricy. The loss of a star is due to the lady this morning running the “cafe” at the entrance of the zoo. She was very rude and honestly looked like she hated her job.
