Audubon Zoo

NOLA’s Audubon Zoo is an extension of the Audubon Institute and houses over 2000 animals, with gorillas, orangutans and white tigers counted as residents. Notable exhibits include two of the twelve known giant white alligators, and a discovery area, where visitors can get up close and personal with animals. Those looking for a dose of local flavor should head to the Louisiana Swamp exhibit where staffers have recreated a bayou swampland in its entirety.
