“More Than Just a Zoo!”

Audubon Park is an urban oasis in Uptown New Orleans, stretching from St. Charles Avenue to the Mississippi River. Guests travel from near and far to marvel at the century old oak trees, lagoons, and expansive green space designed by the Olmsted. Located in historic Uptown New Orleans Audubon Zoo offers an exotic mix of animals from around the globe, engaging educational programs, hands-on animal encounters and lush gardens. Unique natural habitat exhibits—such as the award-winning Louisiana Swamp and Jaguar Jungle—showcase the relationship between people and nature. Don't miss the sea lion and elephant presentations; highly endangered whooping cranes, Amur leopards and orangutans; white tigers Rex and Zulu; and our mysterious white alligators. Audubon Zoo is often ranked among the country’s best for innovation and entertainment value! All Audubon attractions - Aquarium, Insectarium, IMAX & Zoo - open at 10:00AM 6 days weekly, Tuesday through Sunday. We are closed on Mondays!
