Audubon Aquarium

Why go

The aquarium connects the water outside with habitats across the region. River and Gulf exhibits explain nearby ecosystems, while the Caribbean reef brings visitors into a much larger visual environment. Its indoor setting works especially well in heat or rain, though families should still allow enough time for the adjoining insectarium option.

What to look for

• The walk-through Great Maya Reef tunnel
• Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico ecosystems
• Large marine habitats inside the riverfront building

Useful to know

• Budget two to three hours if combining the aquarium and insectarium.
• Check dated hours and ticket combinations before arriving; options can change.
• Pair the visit with a short riverfront walk so the indoor ecology connects with the Mississippi outside.
