Audubon Zoo is a very nice place to wander around looking at and photographing animals and is a great place to take kids for a fun day out. It's possible to get a really close-up look at some of the animals, like the giraffes. My husband and I especially liked the overlook into the pond where pelicans, cormorants, egrets, and... More

I was very impressed at the quality of the Zoo. The exhibits were very neat. Don't rely too much on the map. It doesn't seem to be very accurate. The food wasn't that good and there are small children everywhere, but once you get past that it is a great experience. Don't miss the primate exhibit!

The zoo grounds were beautiful. However, not all exhibits had animals in them. I really like the poetry that is scattered throughout the zoo.

Especially like the Louisiana theme areas. You can view all of the wildlife that is native to the swamps of Louisiana.

This is a beautiful zoo to enjoy. I loved the Komodo dragon and the white alligator. I would have given 5 stars but sometimes it was difficult to figure out where you were going.

The Zoo is very nice. With similar animals to other zoos, what sets this apart is the well-designed areas so that you can see everything in a logical and interesting way. Good, well-stocked restaurant as well. Easy to reach by street-car.

Size is manageable, flat so easy to walk. Attractive, and while not spacious, animals did not seem too restricted in their areas. Signs gave decent explanations of observed animals.

Audubon has really done a nice job. Our visit was very pleasant The animals were out and frisky. They all seemed to be in plain site. The weather had a lot to do with that. The facilities are kept up and clean. The food was ok at best and pricey, but who goes to the zoo for that, right! Get... More
