Audubon Park and Zoological Garden Reviews

Beautiful grounds. Great for the kida and adults. Good food, beers, daiquiris...

Huge park. 1st time there, kids had a blast watching ships on river. Good playground.

Beautiful park! Great place to bike, walk, or run. Everyone seems happy!

Exhibits are incredible! Gorillas were mt favorite.

Such a lovely walking park, beautiful trees draped in Spanish moss. I took off one star for maintenance. I think they could do much better. There were lots of muddy bare patches.

It's a really nice park for walking biking picnics, events and more.

Very nice park for jogging/walking/bicycling. Other than those activities, not much going on in this park. I don't see it worth the trip for tourists unless you have kids & want to come to zoo here. I prefer City Park better which bigger & with interesting statues & flowers.

On my lunch break beautiful place to sit and think of nothing else a beautiful water fall

Love love love the 100+ years old trees they are a stunning view. Also we were there when all kinds of sucks migrated to birds island. Hundreds of sucks were there. They said he turtles were hiding due to cold. Also saw a gorgeous white swan. Great place to walk the paved trail is wide and bike and walker friendly. You can also appreciate the antebellum housing surrounding the property. We entered the park near the aubon zoo but when we were on st.charles street also seen an entrance.

Good family fun, and they are always trying to add new things!

Nestled in the heart of The Garden District, this park is a fairly big park. It s relaxing. It s nice to see the trees, turtles, lake, and other nature scenes. Spend at least an hour here to meditate and relax, or you can walk through from St. Charles Street to Magazine Street s shops and restaurants. (The pics below are part of The Garden District, steps from the park.)

Very nice, we went in the spring not too hot, got great pictures of the animals!

One of the best places to see in New Orleans! The park is roughly a 2 mile loop. It is surrounded by residential streets and then Tulane on one side and the Zoo in the other.

Parking can get a little tight, particularly on weekends. If you cannot find a spot in the lot, you can park along the street or there is more parking across by the riverbank.

If you are bored of the inner loop, try walking on the outside streets which have some amazing homes. Don t be scared to venture off of St. Charles. You can stumble on some amazing areas of New Orleans.

For those riding bikes, the loop does easily connect to the River levee and then St. Charles.

With park so busy wish there were concession stands open. Great zoo though.

It was a great Zoo great architecture great great Flora

Beautiful Park could have a few more better things like the roads around the area should be fixed and trash picked up.. But the Park itself is beautiful and nature is always wonderful..

Enjoy the scenery and the proximity to the river in NOLA

Beautiful day and a great place to spend time with the family.

This is an awful place...stay away! Just kidding. I love this place so much I want it all to myself(s). A great 1.8 mile walking, biking road encircling a beautiful, serene lagoon replete with various fowl, and turtles, as well as a serene golf coarse, which has several ponds sprinkled about. Magnificent, centuries old oak trees are everywhere you look. A truly lovely place.

Love the park but they need a few more public restrooms and maybe a couple of water fountains

The Zoo was a blast, well maintained, reasonable prices, and FUN for all ages.

Overall, this was a great zoo. Loved how close the animals were, and the food was good as well, even though it was overpriced.

Beautiful park, I could spend the whole afternoon there

Its a decent zoo but i felt the animal enclosures could be bigger and half the animals you can't even see because they're hiding behind all the things in their cages which i understand the zoo tries to keep it as normal as possible for the animals so there will be alot of plants and trees but it stinks that you can't see them too well.

It was a day set aside for my children and grandchildren. The Audubon zoo was a awesome place for family time. Thanks fantastic day!!!

Had a great time, rode the train and the carousel...yes, I hoped on the carousel!! Lol. All the animals where out and also they are adding a new lions exhibit right down from Monkey hill...I will be back next year to see the new lions exhibit!!

It was very nice the bathrooms were clean and the food was good. Just not enough room if you have a handful of people and a stroller because there are so many other people with groups and strollers as well.

We have the GREATEST zoo!!! Thank you Ron and staff that work so hard for the animals and patrons!!

So pretty great for relaxation. I love feeding the animals

Best zoo I've ever visited. Each habitat has an 'open' feel instead of an 'im starting at a sad caged animal' feel.

i had a great time everything was nice active animals great overall experience.

Awesome park surrounding the golf course. Love the running/biking path around it. Lots of scenery and wildlife hanging around.

Wonderful live oaks and many kinds of water bird as well as turtles. A great place for walking and jogging.

A large and well-preserved zoo. Audubon Zoo contains a variety of animals such as elephants, giraffes, zebras, lots of primates, reptiles and birds. A snake house holds numerous poisonous species. However, spacious space with a little few signs. If you come by bus, make sure to drop in front of the Zoo or you have to walk a long way since most walking drives are blocked. Entrance fee 22.95$ for non-member (included tax).

This without a doubt the prettiest park in New Orleans, it is open and clean, you really need to go out and check out the quad area by the Mississippi River, it has limited levee area so you can get up close to the river, the views of the river and the westbank are great and you feel like the boats are within arms reach as they pass by, this is a great place to picnic, grill, play games etc. Etc. A really nice green space.

Very good zoo, it will take several hours to go through everything.

My boys loved it so much we had to come back for a 2nd day

Thank u park. I need u when the city makes me crazy.

My 5 year old has do much energy so we let him run some off in the park......

Beautiful park, had a lot of fun. Lots of walking, bring water keep hidrated.

Always busy! Always so clean. Everyone is courteous using the paths. Great way to spend the afternoon. The sounds of the ducks and birds set the atmosphere.

I would have enjoyed the experience much more if it had all been in one location.

Very beautiful & relaxing park with plenty of trees & shelters. Great for picnics, barbecues & crawfish boils. Many locals use the park walking, running & cycling throughout the day. One side of park actually sits on the Mississippi river. Weekends and holidays are very busy times at the park, so if you plan an event get there early to secure a good spot.

it was a nice day at the zoo but to hot for the animals to be out so we only say a few but we enjoyed every thing else
