Discount Hotels Near Audubon Zoo

One of the country's top-ranked zoos, Audubon Zoo blends the exotic excitement of animals from around the globe with the serenity of its lush gardens. With innovative natural habitat exhibits and an animal collection ranging from the unique and extraordinary white alligators to the majestic Bengal Tigers, Audubon Zoo has become
one of the Gulf South's favorite family gathering spots. Some of the Zoo's most action-packed exhibits include:
Asian elephants, Malayan sun bears and Bengal Tigers at the Asian Domain; gorillas, orangutans, siamangs, golden lion tamarins and Diana monkeys at the World of Primates; and false gharials, Chinese alligators, copperheads and rattlesnakes at the Reptile Encounter. Other highlights of the Audubon Zoo experiences are the Embraceable Zoo, where visitors can touch endangered domestic animals, and the daily animal presentations, including shows from the multi-talented sea lions and elephants.

They're all asking for you at the Audubon Zoo - the white tigers, the orangutans and the Asian elephants too. Don't miss New Orleans' original party animals at the Louisiana Swamp Exhibit, the Reptile Encounter and the Embraceable Zoo. And with the flamingos, our new greeting staff, welcoming you as you step into our magical entrance, make sure you're part of this number!
