This Zoo has an amazing amount of animals of all types! The "Cool Zoo" water park looks awesome and a blast for kids literally. Prices are a lot higher than BREC Zoo. They do offer student discounts!

One of the best zoos ever. I have so much fun every time I go and the zoovie at night is super cute! 🐻🐯🦁❤️

The zoo is so gorgeous. The animals are of course the main attraction, but don’t forget to sit on a big tree or at the cafe and let Mr. Peacock show off for you. Go early before it gets crowded!

If you plan on visiting the zoo, aquarium, and insectarium and have 5 or more people in your family, consider getting a membership. We are from out of town and used it for one week. It saved us money!

Had a Pleasant experience. All exhibits were open unlike other Zoo I've visited. Love the Alligator Pond with the old swamp home. Love the Trees, Love the Waterpark. This Zoo has a Overall "A"

Beautiful zoo. Not the most comprehensive display of animals, but top notch local section complete with bayou food and the white alligator. Water play area looks awesome, but also costs extra.

One of my favorite zoos! Hit up exhibits during feedings and the keepers will do chats as they feed the animals! You'll learn so much and see active animals!

Spend the day exploring the zoo & walk through various exhibits featuring monkeys, big cats, and more. In the summer enjoy an outdoor splash park & lazy river, & in the winter holidays lights abound.

During the Great Depression "Monkey Hill", an artificial hill, was built to show the kids of flat New Orleans what a hill looks like. Local folklore calls Monkey Hill the highest point in New Orleans.

Kids had a blast!! They let you bring your own cookers of food for lunch. They also have peacocks walking around...this was the kids favorite part;-)

World class, particularly impressive for a city of this size. Their dedication is shown in their constant improvements. As such, there is ongoing construction that does not deter from the exhibits.

Saturdays are very crowded so go during the week, if possible If you have children, bring a wagon and a small ice chest; it keeps everyone happy and cuts the cost of the visit.

Besides all manner of animals, the Audubon Zoo offers a carousel, climbing hill, touring train, large play area and splash park for young visitors. -Travel Editor

When the monkey escapes, they lock you inside until they catch him. He's a crafty little monkey. This is the second time he has escaped this year!

May is a GREAT month to go. Always opt in for the feeding times and if you have small kids the arm bands are completely worth it!
Mirella BroylesAugust 5, 2015
Too hot for animals to be out, but loved the zoo. Giraffe and elephant display are up close and personal. Pretty awesome.
Kiet LyApril 24, 2021
We're going to see some animals from all over the world. We eat lunch everywhere. Then, we buy something in each store.

When you visit the Audubon Zoo during the summer make sure to cool off at the Cool Zoo the wet and wild splash park at the Audubon Zoo!

BEST ZOO EVER! Renovating to make it even better.

Lions and Tigers and Bears...and White Alligators and Elephants and Gorillas, Oh My! Don't miss the world class Audubon Zoo. A perfect attraction for kids and adults!

Audubon is home to several rare and endangered, including white alligators and a white Bengal tiger.
Jackie Hammers-CrowellMarch 22, 2015
This is an absolutely wonderful zoo. It really caters to children and families.
Jeannie DwyerSeptember 1, 2013
Cool zoo is so much fun! The kids loved the carousel too! Well worth the $!
Candice RiveraOctober 28, 2015
Such a fun, well laid out zoo, with an albino alligator!
Lane McDanielApril 25, 2012
Very cool place! A must do if you're at the zoo already! Be sure to bring your own towels though...
Sandra EstradaFebruary 16, 2015
If you go during Mardi Gras it's almost empty, like having the park for the elite. Lol
Josh LaboveJanuary 23, 2014
Pretty spectacular zoo in the swanky end of town, near Tulane and Loyola. Ride the streetcar down!
Daisy ZookNovember 14, 2017
Some nice animal exhibit but this is a small zoo.
Marian VitaleJanuary 19, 2013
IMAX theater is not at zoo!! Bought tickets for both and could get to the theater on the same day. Not clear on website. Same with butterfly and insect exhibits, also charged extra. Gave those away.

Get a frozen banana. I'm not a fan of zoos and this one did not change my mind. I do like it was clean but the enclosures are way too small for the animals.
Monica WilliamsApril 19, 2011
The new water park in the zoo is awesome. Took my grandson and I think I had more fun getting wet then he did. The best
Zach RJuly 25, 2015
An extremely well designed Zoo. Diverse animal population.
Brandon AndersonMarch 27, 2011
If you are lucky enough to come on a day that the cafeteria has chicken salad, GET IT !!! A+++
Mercentta BrumfieldAugust 27, 2015
mention to them how nice other cities zoo are..they need to upkeep better..I have a pass because of my kids but I have not been satisfied in a long time...
Bethanne BabbsMarch 20, 2015
Make sure to check out the gorillas!
Kelly FoleyAugust 11, 2015
The Louisiana swamp exhibit is great!
Gabriel JacksonOctober 13, 2013
Lack of signage to walk from St. Charles St. Trolley is astounding. Unless you ask around, you wouldn't know where to get off, which way and how far to walk. For a world class zoo you'd expect more.

Come on a colder day (~50-ish° today) and you can see all the cats move around!

Make sure you feed the ducks and turtles! Not only are you having fun, but you support the wildlife funds too!

If you haven't had the roman candy, you haven't lived. Vanilla, strawberry, chocolate... Doesn't matter.
