This would be in the top 3 zoos I've ever been to. There's a great mixture of culture, exhibits, architecture, play areas for children even the land it was based on is absolutely beautiful. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their work. It is a must see if you're visiting New Orleans.
Always enjoy a trip here. Besides the animals, they have many areas to rest and play areas for the children to make it a full afternoon visit.
Beautiful scenery, with plenty of parking options, have a picnic, play at the park with your family, or exercise!
Our family loved it!! Theres alot of activities for the kids to do. Theres a water park.
Nice zoo lots of new construction playground for children
Parking was easy!! Food was pretty good!! Overall great experience!!
Great place to hang out and just explore...can't wait for the lion exhibit next year
We came a little late in the afternoon but we had a wonderful time seeing the primates, elephants, and peacocks. Next time, we'll remember to bring swimsuits!
Absolutely beautiful zoo!
Can't wait to go back!
Such and open and up close feel. Great kids areas!
This place is good to visit if you have time. The primary vising spots are AUDUBON ZOO, AUDUBON Aquarium. Beside that you can go for 2 WATER tours 1) HONEY ISLAND SWAMP TOUR 2) GRAY LINE SWAMP & BAYOU TOUR at 400 TOULOUSE ST, NEW ORLEANS LA 70130. 3) French Quarter, Bourbon street, Royal Street, CAFE DE MONDE, Museum at french Quarter, Jackson Square, RED FISH SEA food restaurant etc are main attractions we have visited. i recommend these places.
This park has lots of open space for picnics and chillin'. It can get crowded during rush hour though
Beautiful, well-kept park with a great walking/running loop (nearly 2 miles) and little exercise stations intermittently situated along the way. It is usually busy, but my husband and I have never had trouble finding a parking spot. Awesome place to bird watch! Definitely a gem of the city. :) It is also a very family-friendly place with lots of shade and benches.
Ambiance, atmosphere, trees, shade, jogging paths, ponds, wildlife,
Really nice zoo, lots of shade and many of the animals were out despite the Louisiana heat.
Most beautiful park around. The track is phenomenal. Beautiful trees full of moss. It's a magical place.
One of the more beautiful parks I have been in. It has a lot to offer with a zoo, golfing, and just wonderful scenery. The animals are plentiful but not obtrusive. As long as the day is fine walks and runs are great here with spots for exercise and water.
Beautiful grounds but wasnt impressed with the layout.
The animals were vibrant and alive, the zoo felt more like a park and not cramped like other zoos. It did not smell like animals, too! Worth the price of admission!
This zoo is by far one of favorites now. The staff are friendly and the sites seem endless.
Beautiful and large park which can support a lot of activities. The flora is diverse and the landscaping is pretty. Great for walking, running, biking etc. Dogs would love this park
Fun for the whole family! We did the year pass for all attractions!
Lots of trees for shade throughout the entire route.
No crowds but animal enclosures were too small for some of the guys
Eat the red beans, they are sold in the swamp area of the zoo, past the black bear and the alligator below!!!
Much more here than there used to be when I was a kid. And they are currently building a lion exhibit. So that will be cool too. Good place to go with a family.
I love taking long walks on the circular trail. Also lots of benches to sit down and relax!
A very nice exquisite venue for weddings and receptions. Also for club partys, office partys and birthday partys.
Sat on the banks of the Mississippi to watch the sun go down with our family, was breathtaking
Excellent park! Kid zones, horses, tennis, golf, jogging, biking, trees, sculptures, fountains, bathrooms, Loyola U, zoo, waterpark, restaurants, even hooked a fish while there. Banquet hall, meeting rooms... more.
Great visit and had a great time. Highly recommend.
We love the zoo but it seems like the animals are always sleeping when we go
They tell us to go in the morning
They were asleep
We go in the afternoon
They are asleep
We go during lunch
They are asleep
And i thinks it's crazy how adults have to pay for the cool zoo also
Even if we arent getting in the water
Just my opinion
Great family time and good price for the family experience
Very nice the best that you xamines enough but some species do not come out you cannot see
Beautiful historical park across from Loyola university. We walked the loop which is almost 2 miles. The ducks are great.
I absolutely love coming here. Beautiful park and really big. There is a lot for the whole family to do.
Gorgeous park. Perfect place to bring a date or spend the afternoon with friends/family.
Loved it, absolutely beautiful, what an amazing place to bike, jog or have a picnic. It's seriously amazing.
My kids loved the zoo and had a blast playing on the different playgrounds
Beautiful park with a lot to see! Highly reccomend getting a bike, scooter or golf cart.
I've been to zoos all over Europe and a few in America, but Audubon Zoo New Orleans is by far the best zoo I've visited so far.
The enclosures are species-appropriate and as far as possible a view is possible that is not disturbed by fences or the like.
The white alligators and white tigers are special highlights.
The zoo can be easily reached from the French Quarter by public transport.
However, a walk is also quite interesting, as you can admire many of the magnificent buildings on the way.
Lovely park. Tortoises in the lake are nice to look at when they bob their heads up
This is the biggest zoo I've ever been to. 2 hours of walking and we were only able to see Asia and africa lol
One of the oldest parks in the city. The grounds are always nicely groomed, and the tree shade coverage is great for walking on hot days.
Any time day or night I'm happy to be in Audubon Park.
Very Good and Relax as i thought about my HUSBAND DAVID and how much he Love the Race Track and I MET him following the Horses,it WAS Bitter Sweet.
I love it here. They improved so much since I have been going here since I was a child. And the creole restaurant they have in the Louisiana swamp part is amazing. Everything was soooo good.
My backyard. No better place to feel the heartbeat of New Orleans
Great smooth path for biking, jogging, or walking.
You will see a lot of dogs around!
Several body work areas around-like playgrounds for adults. There are also kids playgrounds.
Beautiful for a walk among the oak trees of New Orleans.
The map needs to be redone as to locating the attractions within the park.
Park is huge and has many playgrounds for the kiddos. Plenty of water and places to walk and run. Bathrooms were clean and there were beautiful fountains and statues. There is work out equipment thru out the park as well.
I wish i could of seen more animals something like glow in the dark Scorpio s. I gave it 4 stars because at the 1st cafe close to the entrance food was terrible. Saveee your money by packing your on lunch.
It was very nice my family had a good time. Also very clean :) we will go back real soon :)
