This is a lovely park and the live oaks alone are worth seeing. You can visit the park either before or after the zoo, and a free shuttle is provided between the two.

Beautiful golf course. Very challenging and great drainage. The greens are in great shape. Easy to get a tee time between 10:00 and 11:00am. Nice if you can golf with a local. Some holes are not easy to Identify from the Tee box

My family was able to take a break from our hectic trip by strolling through just a tiny bit of this huge, elegant park! We had some great photo ops by the fountain off of St. Charles, and next time I'd plan on leaving more than 20-30 minutes so we can experience the full park and zoo!

Huge, beautiful, relaxing and there is a golf course right there too! We could tell a lot of locals definitely use it for walking, jogging and walking dogs!

Loved the Zoo and ambience of musical performances. Main performance was so loud that we left. Park itself is extensive and beautiful.

Oh Audubon park, how I miss you!!! Truly an amazing and gorgeous part of the city. Quiet, clean, gorgeous, and a great escape from the madness of the quarter. The tree's are soooo beautiful, and walking all the way around you really get to see some amazing homes. Great people watching, and a great place to re-charge after a night... More

A nice place for a stroll and to see the Mississippi. We saw many turtles and many birds including a variety of ducks, a white heron and swans. There was a play ground here also.

This was a very clean park. The bathrooms were out of toilet paper but it was the end of the weekend so what do you expect? TheLabyrinth was so very special. Set in amongst the trees and the childrens play areas you'd never even have known it was there. I'm so grateful that my daughter - in - law brought... More
