The grounds are absolutely beautiful!! The animals seemed to have more space & better care. There was organization that focused more on the best interest of the wildlife rather than making money. The vending machines had aluminum or paper, no single use plastics! Even though a lot of people were visiting, it never felt crowded. We got to cool down at the end in the splash pad, so that was nice. Would definitely recommend to people of all ages!

In New Orleans for a couple of days and we love to visit zoos so we decide to check this one out. We are very happy we did. It’s now one of our favorite zoos. The thing that made it stand out was that you did not feel like you were in a zoo. All the enclosures were set in natural settings. The Asian area felt like you were in an archaeological dig. And the swamp area was just spectacular. It felt like you were walking through a Louisiana swamp area. The white alligator was not to be missed. We visited on a weekday morning during the fall so it was not busy at all. Perhaps we were fortunate but the animals were, for the most part, very active. Also, they were very friendly and informative docents walking all around.

The animals here are tops. Tons of exhibits, lots of shade, friendly staff. The sea lions were an epic highlight—funny, intelligent, playful. They were active and we got to speak with one of their trainers who told us tons about Zoe, Roo, Aya, and Jolie. ❤️ The open-air aviaries were FANTASTIC — you could see toucans up close, among other special birds. Including a road runner! Other highlights: orangutans, reptile house, big cats, Asian elephant, Louisiana black bear, and education about the swamps of Louisiana. Oh! And the leucistic alligators (more rare than albino!). Highly recommend.

What a wonderful zoo. There were many mixed animal exhibits and beautiful grounds with waterfalls and sculptures. There was always something beautiful to look at. The swamp exhibit was very nice and gave thise from other parts of the world a taste of what the swamps are like. There was a lot of humor to view too. Santa was being pulled by alligators. And a sign over the gar fish said beware of the gar dog. The weather was great, the day was great at the zoo. Great range of exhibits, good signage and Information. (Only signage issue was in reptile house where the signs were up above everyone's heads). There was construction in certain areas and it's nice to see they are continuing to improve. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time checking out Audubon Zoo. The zoo was so big and had so much to see. Definitely worth checking out if you're wanting a day at the zoo. The animals look like they're very much cared for and treated well. A great way to spend a day.

This zoo is huge and has amazing animal diversity. They have Asian elephants, orangutangs, several lions, sea lions, a very neat reptile exhibit, and a great shop area. The train ride does leave a lot to be desired as it is not really a train more a cart pulled by a gas-powered vehicle. The employees are all very nice. The food is very expensive for what it is.

Any zoo that starts with flamingos is going to be fun. We enjoyed the exhibits, especially the two aviaries. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the food at the Zoofari cafe was hot and tasty. I didn't expect such good food, but I guess it's a New Orleans requirement.
