A jewel in the crown of the Audubon Institute, this gorgeously landscaped zoo contains fun, intriguing and rare animal specimens including white alligators, majestic Bengal tigers and even a Komodo dragon. Wander through the lush terrain through natural habitats containing Siamang monkeys, orangutans, big cats, exotic birds, rhinos, hippos, zebras and giraffes. A special highlight is the Louisiana Swamp exhibit, a Cajun-themed area that's home to alligators and other Louisiana locals. The zoo is a favorite family gathering spot.
