User Reviews for Audubon Zoo

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I think the Zoo is perhaps the best zoo I have ever visited. The animals seem happy. It is a great outing for children and the boat ride over even better. Although I reccommend taking the trolley back rather than the boat because with the trolley you are able to catch glimpses of the Garden District which is also a nice attraction.

Pros: Not terribly expensiv, Reccomend boat ride, Reccomend trolley

Cons: long walk to the zoo

Of al the zoos I've seen the Audobon is the best. A fantastic variety of animals and the most attractive grounds. It's a nice place to just take a walk.

Pros: Swamp Exhibit, Swamp Fest, Beautiful Grounds

While it has been a while since I have lived in New Orleans, I do implore everyone to visit this zoo! A great combination of older city charm and ever-changing progress, I visit this zoo every time I go to New Orleans & there is always something new! A little bit high priced, but that is with everything "tourist-ty" in New Orleans...So take a leisurely stroll through the Orient, go get a small snoball at the stand by Monkey Hill, have a seat on "the Fly" and forget about all your worries for a day!

Pros: Great exhibits, friendly staff

Cons: slightly high priced

THE AUDUBON ZOO IS A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE THE KIDS. THERE'S A PETTING ZOO, OAKS TREES TO PICNIC. IT'S A GREAT PARK WITH SHADED AREAS. THERE'S EVERYTHING FROM ALLIGATORS TO ZEBRAS.

One of the best family destinations in the entire metro area. Highly recommend taking the Zoo Cruise which goes to the zoo then on a riverboat cruise that stops at the Aquarium. Absolutely fantastic.

Pros: Fun, Learning

4 Star Rating: Recommended

Audubon Zoo is still the best inexpensive attraction in New Orleans. Families are everywhere, and there are plenty of refreshments on a hot day. We always enjoy walking the trails....There's lots to see.

Pros: animals to see, inexpensive, good parking

Cons: crowded on some days, not always cleanest
