There are only 32 known species of seahorses. They live in some of the world's most threatened habitats, and as their habitats decline, so do their populations. Under the radar for much of their existence, the seahorse is one of the most rare and endangered sea living organism. Leave a Comment Phone: (504) 581-4629Directions: Via Interstate 10 West, exit at Canal/Superdome (exit 235B), turning right onto Canal. The Aquarium/IMAX® is located at the foot of Canal Street at the Mississippi River. Open from 9:30 am - 5 pm

The Aquarium of the Americas is located across from Harah's casino and is really worth the trip and expense. It has in it an IMAX theater, and offers a riverboat ride to Audubon Zoo. For Adults the price for just the Aquarium is $14, add the IMAX to that for $4 more, add to those the zoo for a total of $25. Kids are considerably cheaper (those little punks!) Leave a Comment

 Incredible 'Sea Tunnel' puts
you inside the ocean. by moirholj
The most visually impressive sight is the "tunnel of ocean" (pictured here) that you can walk through as you see all manner of wildlife swimming over, and beside you.
There are rotating exhibits as well as a glass top amazon rain forrest replica. Children of all ages will learn something here at the Audubon Aquarium all while being entertained at the highest level.
Yes, yes, I know about the people falling into the shark tank here. As a matter of fact that happened only one day after I visited the exhibit. No one was hurt though, and as I understand it, the sharks were more scared of the people then vice versa. :-) Leave a Comment

Aquarium Website NOTE: -reopened May 26 after an 8-month shutdown forced by.. Katrina Visit old favorites, "including our beloved penguins and sea otters Buck and Emma. They flew home from CA on May 22 courtesy of FedEx. We are open but we still desperately need your support. Help us Bring Back Our Fish"
On December 14th, it was so cold that we had to go indoors to the Aquarium. There was a large metal sculpture at the entrance with water running down it - I'm sure it was meant to represent fish scales, but it looked more like breasts to me because there was a kind of round bolt type thing at the bottom of each one. We went through the Caribbean sea kind of tunnel to get to the elevator rather than walk up the stairs.
On the upper level in the penguin exhibit (pictured), I saw a penguin repeatedly try to swim out the side of the tank. He just kept butting his head into the glass. The penguins were one of the few animals which survived the hurricane.
There was a place you could touch a shark skin (live nurse shark), sea otters, and a pacific coast area. There was also a Mississippi delta area with their famous white alligator (not an albino - cream colored with blue eyes). He survived Katrina as did the tarpon. More pictures are in the travelogue
The Amazon Rainforest area was hot here and they had a lot of steam/mist machines making it very humid and I don't know why because the only birds I saw were a seagull, a great horned owl, and a couple of macaws - two scarlet macaws and some blue ones.
