Home to more than 2,000 animals, Audubon Zoo is named after famed artist and naturalist John James Audubon. The zoo created a name for itself by providing a home for a white tiger and two blue-eyed alligators. During Hurricane Katrina, zoo staff took refuge in the reptile house, which is designed to withstand storms. Despite financial setbacks after the storm, the zoo reopened and added a swamp exhibit with a themed Hurricane Katrina house and a collection of local species.

  Take a break from the usual NOLA festivities and visit this special zoo. The animals celebrate mardi gras every day - with attentive care of their keepers. This is a happy place!  more »

  We haven't been to a zoo in years because the kids are getting older. But we really enjoyed this zoo.  more »
