Audubon Park and Zoological Garden Reviews

I love that in a large city you have a beautiful park to go to and enjoy nature. Perfect for individuals and families

Beautiful, peaceful park. Love the well kept walkingnpath and exercise equipment.

Beautiful, free, public park along the trolley line. Great place to have a picnic while visiting New Orleans

Grandson had a great time finding animals in each habitat.

A gorgeuos park! Wonderful landscaping, beautiful trees, plenty of open areas, well kept bike and foot track. A wonderful view of the Loyola Church that romanticizes the building. The only caveat to the park is a section of the trail that is unprotected from the golf course.

Absolutely beautiful. Perfect spot to walk with the kids.

Awesome zoo, tons to see and a bunch of great info. Definitely recommend it to anyone.

Only about half the zoo was open. If yo go go early in the summer plan for at least two days to see it all.

Beautiful park to relax, rollerblade, run, ride bikes. Big oak trees shade the pathway so it doesn t feel as hot when exercising during the day.

A beautiful and historic park. Great informative exhibits, wonderfully landscaped. Full of huge old growth trees, and tons of flowering plants. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Love Audubon zoo so much. Great habitats for the animals.

What we went for was the zoo, unfortunately our large portion of the zoo was apparently being worked on in order to create a new exhibit. Well the new exhibit seems to be a pretty awesome addition to the zoo unfortunately for some of us you will not be able to make it back within the next couple years it was kind of chopped up to a loss that those areas and a lot of it was kind of blocked off. While there my husband and I found a water moccasin in the fox exhibit I notified staff which was pretty crazy kind of just shows that the exhibits are really open to Nature along with the amount of turtles that the zoo does not breed.

Amazing experience. If I can give them 10 stars I would. We drove up from Miami, Florida for Hurricane Irma. And they gave us VIP passes for a free train and carousel ride. Plus the zoo is huge ! So many beautiful animals and a super clean environment. The people their were amazing. Great customer service and will be back in December for winter... My wife and Kids were super happy with their experience as well.

Lovely park for walking, running and birdwatching. Saint Charles trolley stop so very easy to get to. Safe as there are a lot of folks out enjoying the park.

Very great experience. Went on a Taylor Student Award.

Just love Audubon Park! A great place to pi k a spot and read!

Great places for family activity outdoor. Air feel fresh here, but the public restroom here is dirty.

My wife and I enjoyed a stroll around the perimeter of the park, admiring the beautiful houses.

Pretty park. Easy to reach with the street car. On the way you can also see some pretty houses in the New Orleans Garden District. There are a few very beautiful oaks covered with Spanish moss that are suitable as a photo motif.

Excellent spot for romantic sunsets on the river bank and shredding crossfit training.

I got a chance to enjoy the sight of a variety of animals. Watched lots of wonderful families having fun. The staffing of the Zoo were very helpful in direction and answering questions. The weather in my opinion couldn't have been better for the event (EASTER ).

Was a lovely park with tons of trees and grassy areas. It is huge by the way. It contains a golf course and the Audobon Zoo. Has a great trail for taking a stroll or running. Has the best exercise equipment dispersed along the trail as well if that's your cup of tea. There are eating spots and benches, stages, kids play areas and also tons of birds to watch as well. At the lowest part you can even see the Mississippi River. Not a bad place to visit if you want to get some fresh air and work off some of those large New Orleans meals.

If you are visiting New Orleans and looking for something to do, this is a great zoo. Animal enclosures are large and natural, the zoo setting is very unique. This is a large zoo with something for everyone especially children. Dont miss the insectarium or the Louisiana swamp exhibit. Both unique and well done. The Aquarium of the Americas is also a great experience though it is at the foot of Canal Street. Both venues have adequate nearby parking and at the zoo it is free. Both are children oriented.

You can not always see some of the animals but we always enjoy visiting.

Plenty of active animals to see and learn about. Clean zoo.

A little disappointed to see not too many upgrades to the animal enclosures. I would think by now that would have happened.

The Zoo was nice ,but it was over crowded. Couldn't enjoy seeing all the animals and took forever just to park.

Great place to go for a walk, run, bike ride, etc. Park has work out stations throughout and restrooms. Beautiful scenery with ducks, turtles, and golf course.

Recommend you go while it's cool outside but very fun and very family friendly definitely going back soon!!

Simply put this is one of America's best Zoos. The animal enclosures are amazing. The Audubon Zoo is definitely worth a visit

It's actually pretty big. Some of the exhibits are older, but it's really not bad. Lots of gators.

Incredibly staff and the animals are all fantastic precisely what you want to see when you go to a zoo.

A really big park which is awesome for a lot of activities. The tree cover over the walking paths make even the peak afternoon sun not feel harsh. Oh and the snoball place just outside the zoo is awesome. There is also a gold course in the middle of the park. A great place to spend time with family on holidays.

Tucked away at this great park. Field is great and we loved it.

Really nice, well kept zoo. Most staff are very friendly and helpful.

Loved the atmosphere and zoo employees great experience for anyone

Very spacious. Animals for everyone to see. Some remodeling but it all looks great

This a beautiful cart path only course and is always in good shape.

Gorgeous day out for the Zoo! Cant wait for the Lions!

Great park to get away and relax. Surprisingly the restrooms are extremely clean.

My girls and I love to go here. There is so much to do.

This park is nice, but this almost 300 year old tree is the greatest. I was in New Orleans for 3 days and went to see this tree 2 times. The rest of the park is just that a park ball fields and sidewalks next to the river.

Incredible assortment of animals to view, and it takes all day, instead of a few hours

Gorgeous park with many walking paths and things to see like the Zoo and the Tree of Life

Really nice and giant park, you can find a very nice spot to enjoy the openness of the park

Beautiful park. We enjoyed our time here. We will go back.

Perfect time to go. It was not too hot and got to see most of the animals. It was nice seeing the lions. And our daughter was super excited to see the zebra. It was also nice seeing the goats and be able to interact with them like that. A very rewarding experience. I just wish we lived a little closer.

A very diversified outdoor place! Zoo, River view (The Fly) soccer/baseball fields and lots of trees and space! Walking/running track and skating, horses too! Check it out!

Beautifully maintained park in the center of Uptown New Orleans. The park feels lively without being crowded. The walking path is wide and lined with shady oaks. The trail is lined with outdoor workout stations. Well worth the visit.

I wonderful zoo. Spent all day there, and it was nice to just walk around. I did feel kinda bad for the animals outside though; it was a chilly day and you could tell they were cold. Other than that ythough, I had a wonderful time.

Audubon nature institute is the most wonderful part about the state of Louisiana. Keepers who really care about their animals, a knowledgeable staff, and a stunning property make it an amazing place to visit. You won't find bars on any of these exhibits either. All the animals are either captive bread(not taken from the wild) or rescued animals who could not survive on their own. If your visiting new Orleans this is a must stop spot. It can get hot but there are frequent places to cool off all over the place. Wonderful wonderful place!

One of my favorite places to study if I don't need a computer. Great, well kept park!

This is one of my favorite places to visit!! Absolute greatest zoo I've ever been to!!!

Got to love it.
Very shady and plenty of water fountains on the 2 mile loop.

Great time seeing the animals and the roman street cart
