The Audubon Zoo is one of the top rated zoos in the country and now I definitely know why. Every part of the zoo is unique and interesting. It's fairly large but you can still see everything in one day. There is a part of the zoo called the Discovery Walk where people can touch all sorts of animals, and there are a lot of rare and endangered ...
We love going to the audubon zoo. The atomosphere is always great for families. There animals all look very healthy, happy, and well maintained. I have taken my family several times and each time we enjoy it. There is also great deals if you do the Zoo & Aquarium together.
i dont ever want to go to that place again because it was really messy. the habitats for the animals were dirty and looked like it was never cleaned. the air is too humid, and restaurants smell like old baby diapers!!! it was nasty. and not only that...there was nothing to do if you went like at 10:00 am becasue the shows start at 3 and you will ...

Not bad

This zoo is not bad, not a huge zoo with big selection, but with that pricing, not bad at all.. One thing though, the zoo is closed at 5PM, which is pretty early, especially with the hot weather in New Orleans in summer, it would be nice if they open later, so people can enjoy the cooler weather.
The busy season is the summer when most of the tourists are in town. I suggest going in early spring or late fall, so that you can avoid the humidity during the summer months.
The zoo has managed to go from being one of the worst in the country--watch "Cat People" and you'll get a good idea of what it used to look like--to one of ...
Locals must buy a membership, it is so worth it. Many attractions added so much in fact it is getting harder to view everything the Zoo has to offer in one visit. I'm a bit disappointed that the seals have not returned yet. Also, make sure you eat before because they are still renovating the cafe or whatever they are building.
The zoo was actually the nicest part of our visit to New Orleans. It had many animals and the surroundings were very natural. It was very clean and many nice exhibits. We enjoyed the very first show when coming in that had a snake and chicken that the grand kids could actually touch. I highly recommend this zoo. IMO it is as good or better than big zoo I've ever been to. Well worth the money.
The Audubon Zoo was redone and is a wonderful place to visit. I spent many weekends with my oldest child and we just enjoyed our times there. There is always something different to see. Our favorite was the swamp like atmosphere.
When I was in New Orleans a couple of years ago I visit the Zoo. I just love it. When I go back to Lousiana You can bet your dollar I will go back for a visit. That is my home but I go back every now and then.
Great atmosphere but very hot and very humid in the summer! The animal displays are many and well kept and well done. The primates are wonderful and abundant!
