We saw a lot of insects that we had no previous knowledge of. Fascinating to watch them in well done mock ups of their native habitats. The Butterfly Garden is the best feature as they are flying all around the room that you're in.

Wasn't sure about this one based on some of the reviews but thought it was great. Many live bug specimens & interesting interactive exhibits.

Took the Grandbaby wasn't sure about it. Got there and loved it. Had a little movie seats move. The butterflies were so awesome. Didn't try the food. She did n thought it was good.

I really loved being in the butterfly room, with the butterflys freely flying about. I hated seeing the giant roaches!!

The Audubon Insectarium is one of our favorite attractions in New Orleans. We have a little boy, so it's especially amusing to him to see and learn about the world of insects!

Those creepy-crawlers, so much a part of Louisiana life, really come to life, and they won't take a "bite" out of your budget, either! Unique place, and you can taste some crickets and other bugs, too. Not bad!

I expected a lot more. It was small and cost $60 for 2 adults and 1 child. It should be more reasonable for what you get. It's just okay. Nothing spectacular. You get to eat bugs and be in a free flying butterfly area but those the main attractions. There is also a mini theatre with moving chairs.
