Fodor's Review:

Animals roam and frolic in natural-habitat settings at this excellent zoo in Audubon Park. It harbors lions, tigers, bears, sea lions, and a family of extremely rare white (albino) alligators. The Louisiana Swamp exhibit re-creates the natural habitat of alligators, nutria (large swamp rodents), and catfish; alligator-feeding time is always well attended. Other highlights include the butterfly exhibit, the children's petting zoo, and white Bengal tigers. You can walk here from the St. Charles Avenue bus (#12) stop across Audubon Park (allow a half hour). The Magazine Street bus also stops right at the zoo and can take you to and from Canal Street.

Cost: $12, combination ticket for zoo and Aquarium of the Americas $22
Open: Wed.-Sun. 10-4
