Audubon Zoo

Why go

The strongest New Orleans-specific section interprets Louisiana wetlands and native wildlife, while the wider zoo adds global habitats and conservation work. Mature trees and broad grounds shape the experience as much as individual exhibits. It suits travelers ready for several hours of walking, heat and changing animal activity.

What to look for

• The Louisiana Swamp habitat and regional wildlife
• Large animal areas set among mature live oaks
• Conservation interpretation across global habitats

Useful to know

• Allow several hours and prioritize habitats rather than trying to see every path.
• Visit earlier in hot weather, when both people and animals may be more comfortable.
• Check the date-specific calendar for hours, encounters and any closed exhibits.
