Audubon Park and Zoological Garden Reviews

A true gem of New Orleans. Even if you only have 30 minutes visit the park stop by but you could spend hours walking its grounds and enjoying the majestic oak trees, flowers, and beautiful fields. You will find a variety of birds including in the Spring ducklings and goslings. The park is served by the Saint Charles trolley line and also buses. The city zoo is also located at Audubon Park.

just make sure you have good walking shoes and plenty of water in the summertime.. loved the train ride the conductor was a natural comedian. I would like to see signs leading to the exit, I got lost for 10 minutes.

This is my happy place and I am also a volunteer here. It's a nice place to bring your family and kids. My Happy Place

I believe this is one of the many gorgeous parks designed by the central park NYC guy. Who was this imaginatively industrious fellow and why can't anyone dream up parks as big and beautiful!?

This is literally like the Six Flags amusement park of zoos! So cool. Lots of endangered animals. Definitely need a few hours to walk the whole park.

Beautiful park. Lots of areas for kids to play. There's a track where everyone can ride bikes, rollerblade, run, walk, etc. Lots of people go there yet the park doesn't feel crowded which I can really appreciate.

Audubon park is perfect for a nice walk, or to go to the Zoo. Very nice Golf Course in the middle of the park.

Pretty cool place for the kids to fo get wore out. Nice pond full of ducks and turtles. Lots of attractions.

We <3 Audubon Park. It's safe and well-lit, there's tons of parking, the walkways are kept clear. Definitely a family favorite.

I love everything about Audubon Park and the Zoo. Can be in a peaceful environment with lots of trees. I like to walk on the track. Nothing like fresh air! The Zoo is first class! And I love the park behind the Zoo, on the River Batture. All are well-maintained, safe, and very clean.

It's a nice little zoo, when it's cold most animals are asleep, we went when it was a chilly day, most animals didn't wake up until past noon, the zoo is clean, one of the things I did not like and the reason i only did 3 stars was the horrible customer service when buying tickets and ordering food. We have been to several zoo's around the country, we figured it would be similar, the smiling representative wanting to help out. Nope, frowns upon frowns showing you how unhappy they were with their job. When we ordered food, that was even better, cashier was taking our order and then trailed off laughing totally ignored what we were ordering because she was busy gossiping. After she was done she turned back to us and said ok so...can you repeat that again. I told her we had already said it (before she basically got 2 of the 6 items we were ordering because whatever her friend had to say was way more important than the customers order) we had to repeat our order, she again turned to continue speaking to her friend. Making us repeat the order a 3rd time. I was in shock, I couldn't believe that after paying a pretty good amount per person for this zoo, the least they could do is teach their staff some manners. If you bypass the crappy customer service that your use to from other zoo's . It's ok.

I had a great time with my family at the Audubon Zoo. The zoo was clean and the employees were friendly. We always enjoy going to the Audubon Zoo.

Great variety of animals however, the upkeep of the facility and holding areas for the animals could be improved.

Food not great but really good park several upgrades.

Spread out,nice shady places. Good for the family and right near the zoo.

Nice place to enjoy life as it is. Nice sun nice wind nice time. The kids get to see the boats pass as they sit on the dock. We bring out crawfish and drinks and have a great time. Lots of space to do whatever you want to do. It's also surrounded by a nice neighbor Hood. Great atmosphere for everyone.

One of my most favorite places in the city. Take a visit and you can easily see why.

A few areas under construction but still a great time!

Had a great time visiting this zoo. The exhibits are so beautiful and the animals all look very healthy. Nice to see they take such good care of this beautiful place.

Quite an experience. The animals were all out and clearly visible. The enclosures are thoughtful to the animals and guests. One of the best zoos I've been to. I would encourage everyone to visit this zoo at least once.

This is my favorite place in the city. The whole park is amazing!

Nice and Full of family fun.Kids don't want to leave

Great place to go jogging, has some great scenery and a paved trail that goes all the way around the park!!

Great place to enjoy a sunny day with the whole family!

This is great park oasis right across from Tulane and Loyola. It has everything needed for a R&R with family and friends: walking and jogging trails, biking, water, Zoo, beatiful trees, you name it. Suitable for all ages from small kids to adults. You can take St Charles streetcar there, quite convenient

Beautiful old oak trees, many amenities like golf and sports fields, and we'll loved by locals. Don't miss Audubon Park for a beautiful morning walk.

Beautiful park. Well used walking/jogging/biking path. Good place to walk dogs or bring kids.

Love this park. Beautiful walking path and biking path.

One of the best zoo's in the country. A bit pricey if not a member. Large area with lots of different animals to view.

So much to do and see, several trips is a must! The family membership is the way to go, pays itself off when you plan on visiting the Insectarium and Aquarium since they are included. The kids enjoyed the food and rides.

Beautiful!!! So many trees and nature to enjoy. Great playgrounds for kids, and just a joy to walk through. So peaceful.

Beautiful park and perfect for getting some exercise with fresh air

This is a very special place - a true gem of New Orleans.

A truly wonderful zoo! I'd highly recommend to anyone visiting NOLA

Nice park! I liked the northern half best. But wander outside the zoo and you make spot some giraffes!

Beautiful to walk in the morning before the heat of summer

Probably the most beautiful park in New Orleans. It's open at night, too, with lighting and security patrols. Tens of thousands of birds! Beautiful gardens! A delight of all the senses.

Great place for families, dating and or just simply observing the beauty of different animals

Beautiful park in the heart of New Orleans. Whether you want to ride a bike or just relax in the shade of the old trees, there is something for everyone.
