    Aquarium of the Americas

    As we enjoyed pretty Woldenberg Riverfront Park, we passed Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and the IMAX theatre located on the fringe of this public green space.

    Although we didn't visit this large complex which includes the Audubon Zoo (at 6500 Magazine Street) and the Insectarium (Canal Street at the Customs House), you might want to take the kids to see these fun venues!

    For a day of family play you'll pay:

    Zoo--adult $12.50; child age 2-12 $7.50; Sr. Citizen 65+ $9.50
    Aquarium--adult $17.50; child age 2-12 $10.50: Sr. Citizen 65+ $13.50
    Insectarium--adult $15.00; child age 2-12 $10.00; Sr. Citizen 65+ $12.00
    IMAX--adult $8.50; child 2-12 $5.50; Sr. Citizen 65+ $7.50
    Imax Double feature--adult $14.00; child 2-12 $8.50; Sr. Citizen 65+ $12.00

    For times and combination package prices please see website below.

    You can feed the stingrays!They only allow you to feed them twice a day and they only sell 15 tokens per feeding. The tokens are available in the nearest souvenir shop and cost $2.00 a piece. Buy your tokens early as they sell out very quickly. They give you a tray of fish and you hold one in your hand under the water. The rays will come on top of your hand and suck the fish out of your hand! They don't have teeth so it is safe for even small kids. It really is an amazing experience.

    Stuff to do in Nawlins

    by BarryAir Updated Apr 4, 2011 28 reviews

    Hit the "Top Of The Mart...at the foot of Canal Street and go up to the top floor resturant and disco on a turning floor that will show you all of the city and the river as you sip cocktails..(call them for times)..Also there is a great aquarium along the riverwalk and riverboats that can take you up river to the Park, and back.

    We make a tour in to a boat sailing in Mississippi River, that included a Vist to Americas Acquarium and Audoboon Zoo. We do it with James Audubon River boat.
    Was so great. We saw a White Cocodrile ..fews in the world.

    The Acquarium its so nice and very weel conservated.

    They used to have four round trips daily.

    The sea along the Mississippi River

    Nice Aquarium, as other aquariums. It's a good one I think if you like Aquariums, but I won't say it is THE thing to visit...
    But one interesting thing is the albinos Alligator ! (you can see another one in the zoo)

    The Aquarium of the Americas

    During my visit to this place, I was highly impressed. Katrina, and the subsequent power loss, severely decimated the animal populations here. But the Aquarium is making a steady comeback; I hope that within a few years it will be as it was.

    The Aquarium, IMAX theatre, Ferry Dock

    The Aquarium, IMAX Theatre & Ferry Dock

    The Aquarium is now OPEN!
    The most visited attraction in all of Louisiana has been restored, overcoming the effects of hurricane, and is welcoming guests to visit once again.
    One of the great places to escape the heat of the day, the Aquarium and Theatre offer wonderful sights for all ages. I skipped the theatre on this trip and spent my time in the Aquarium, which is home to a wonderful collection of sea life. If pressed, I'd have to say that the jellyfish exhibit and the tunnel under the big tank would probably be my favorites. And sure, who doesn't love penguins?

    Sharks at the Aquarium of Americas

    Some of the great big sharks can be found here at the Aquarium. There are also penguins, jellyfish and other sea creatures that would amaze you. The fast-food joint is on the upper floor. The Aquarium is packed on weekends as it is ideal for family outings.
