#10 – Audubon Zoo in New Orleans, Louisiana
Our first zoo is a charming mix of the old and new. The Audubon Zoo in New Orleans, located in uptown, dates back to the early 20
th century, a heritage you can see to this day in the architecture of the older facilities. However, the 21
st century brought with it major renovations so that today the park is both old-world and world-class. The most popular exhibit is the Louisiana Swamp where you can see that zoo’s famous white alligators. Too scary? Two majestic white tiger brothers are also a principal attraction drawing crowds from all over the country. The Audubon Zoo also has a large aquarium, insectarium and IMAX® Theatre.
All exhibits closed on Monday. Admission varies by attraction. (
