Reviews
Had a blast at this zoo! Animals look super happy and well-cared for, which is awesome. They've got a whole bunch of different critters, so there's lots to see. The place is a bit small, but you'll easily spend a few hours exploring. Plus, it's really clean everywhere. Definitely worth a visit!
What an unbelievable zoo. Such a beautiful place! Tons of animals up close. Giant old growth trees including the giant and magnificent Tree of Life. We spent four hours there and still didn't get to see all the animals. 55 bucks for two is a great deal. We didn't ride the train, but there is one that makes four major stops. I got a great collection of pictures and videos. Enjoy!
What a fun zoo. There is a great combination of fun exhibits, beautiful animals and interactive activities. We spent 3 hours amd could have spent at least another. We all thought the enclosures were large and well suited for the animals. They really take good care of these animals and you can tell the caretakers love what they do. On a hot day it would have been more difficult to drag the kids around and paying the 10 per person for the water part seemed steep. But overall one of the best zoos I have been to.
We came here for my daughter & my husband Birthday party.. Everyone had fun and the people that work here were very knowledgeable of all the animals and their habitat, food, behavior and everything.!! We loved it and even though it's not as big as other Zoo's, it was still a beautiful place to visit and enjoy.!! We definitely recommend you guys to come and it takes about 3hrs maybe 4hrs to really enjoy the Zoo and all that it has to offer!! Can't wait for the Lion exhibit to come soon that will be a blast!! Don't forget to get there by 11am so you can see the feeding otters getting some yummy delights!! We all love them cuties.!! The petting zoo was wonderful and we all enjoyed that as well.. The animals here are so majestic and beautiful that we cannot wait to come back soon!!!
We had a lot of fun here. There are a good variety of animals to see in various sections of the zoo. My favorites were the Asia area and the swamp area. They have the swamp decorated to look like the local terrain with alligators, shacks, boats, etc. It's a very nice looking zoo.
The New Orleans Zoo is always a good time. We had to dodge some patchy showers in between exhibits, but that just made it all the more fun!
This Zoo is not too big nor small. You can see the animals near to you. Bird collection is less. The entry fee is expensive around 23$ for adults. No special music at end of the site seeing. You have to learn how SAN DIEGO ZOO is working and adopt their style. The ZOO management introducing LOINS in the new year-2019. We have visited this place as part of 2018 Christmas Holidays to NEW ORLEANS, LA. This is good for One time Visit along with your family. Your Kids may be love this place than you like. This ZOO also offer running Train on rubber wheels to see all places for which they charge 5$. The canteen inside ZOO provides the food which is very expensive. We have took KID Stroller from registration office for which they have charged 13$ with 5$ deposit in CASH and not accepting the Visa/CR Cards which makes me uncomfortable. My recommendation is to go here on early morning, spend 3 hours and visit the Aquarium located at different place - AUDUBON AQUARIUM OF THE AMERICAS, 1 CANAL ST, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70130. Since we have 2 small kids we didn't went to AQUARIUM as we have lost all energy by walking in ZOO.
Best zoo I've ever been to so far. Animals well kept. Clean. Nice employees. easy to get around. Had a blast. Traveled From Florida panhandle to go to this zoo worth the few hour ride
