 Hungry Giraffe by emilienoelle Beautiful zoo. Feautures animlas from all parts of the world in natural-looking habitats. Louisiana swamp exhibit with the alligators was our favorite, but all of them are great. Zoo includes a reptile house and gorgeous aviary. Food options include McDonald's, Haagen Daaz, and a Cajun Cafe at the swamp exhibit. For children there is a petting zoo, playgrounds, and a carousel. You can even take a river boat ride here from the Aquarium and/or buy one pass to see both at the same time with or without boat ride.

 A gator featured in the 'Louisanna Swamp' section. by moirholj Besides the animal exhibits, the one thing I remember about my trip to the Zoo was that it was HOT. Hot, hot, hot. I sweated from the time I got there until the time I left and there was not a whole lot I could do about it. Was this a reflection on the Zoo? No. I happened to visit the zoo in the dead heat of the month of July in 2001! My bad. haha. Seriously though, I had a great time here and took some wonderful photographs of the resident animals. Of particular note is the exhibits featuring local wildlife. I ask you, have you ever been to a zoo where the feature RECIPES in which to cook the animals you are viewing?? Probably not. Well, welcome to the uniquness that is the New Orleans Aududon Zoo. It goes something like this: "Hey kids look, there are some catfish. Catfish are a local water creature that can be found in Louisiana. What's that you say? How would one cook a catfish? Well, right here next to the TANK THAT HOLDS THE CATFISH IN THE ZOO is a very good recipe for how to cook the suckers up and eat them for dinner." Serioulsy people, they have recipes featured next to the habitats of animals found in the local Louisana Bayou. This is the ONLY ZOO I have ever been to that featured recipes on how to cook the animals that it held on display. Good Times. Leave a Comment

by Amareyui It was bad planning in our part to spend the noon hours (12:00-2:00) in the zoo. Gosh, it was hot. Feeling the necessity to escape the heat, we ended up spending too much time in the Reptile Hall. We had to rush through the swamp to make it on time for the departing boat, but we covered the whole park quite well, despite the heat. The gorillas and monkeys were the most interesting.

 White alligator at Audubon Zoo by Helga67 The best thing about Audubon Zoo is its beautifully recreated Louisiana swamp, complete with Cajun houseboats, wallowing alligators and knobbly cypress knees poking out of the emerald green water. You can also see white tigers, white alligators and Komodo dragons, along with recreated habitats including an African savannah, an "Asian domain," and a "jaguar jungle" set among Mayan ruins. It's a great place to go with kids. Leave a Comment

by acemj The Zoo has white tigers, orangutans and reptiles among other things. It is made up of various enclosed areas like the Asian Domain, the World of Primates and even the Louisiana Swamp (a good alternative if you don't want to do a Swamp Tour).

by Virtuous_Tourist New Orleans has a top rated Zoo. I think its one of the better zoos around but the admission is a bit steep - 12 dollars. Most other zoos in the South are less than half that price. But, some of the proceeds go to the Audubon Institute. The zoo is medium sized and takes about 2-3 hours to see. Highlights include the Reptile House, Asian Domain, Monkey Hill, Louisiana Swamp, and the walk-through Aviary. There is also a "River Cruise" and a train. Leave a Comment

 Flamingos Print from Fig Studios by Nola The Audubon Zoo and it's nature centersare wonders to visit. Have you ever seen a 'white' alligator? We have them in Louisiana and now in the zoo. A world class zoo and a great place to play golf or walk along the River. Leave a Comment

by larsy Some of the areas are themed, like the Louisiana swamp area,Thai section and central american section I'm not extremely fond of animals but I liked the zoo. It also features the highest point in New orleans which is a laughable mound of dirt. (New Orleans is under sea level)They now have a Kimodo dragon display. Leave a Comment
