Fishies, Penguins and Butterflies, Oh MY!
THE BEST. Audubon Zoo was the best zoo in the universe before Katrina. Today, it has recovered nicely, though not like it was. Unfortunately, it was VERY hot during visit, and most animals were hiding in the AC or mud, or caves.....The highlight was seeing the Lions up close. There are 7 of them, one daddy, two cubs and the rest females. Incredible experience with them. Aquarium was hit very very hard during Katrina, and most species died. They have recovered well, and have a lovely facility that I hope expands in the future. Lots of highlights here - Jellyfish exhibits, penguins, huge glass aquarium filled with lots of different fish + Rays . Insectarium is always fascinating. Some exhibits are not for the faint of heart, but interesting, nonetheless. The not to be missed BEST exhibit is the Butterfly free-for-all Garden. What a blast, tons of butterflies flying around, and the nice man at the exhibit knows his stuff! Very educational & beautiful.

Zoo day
Hot one but very fun! Some of the animals weren’t home today but we still saw a bunch

Not very many animals to...
Not very many animals to see. Due to temperature, too hot for the animals. Easy to get in the zoo, once you know the correct process. Aquarium was disappointing. Expected more

Really?
The Audubon Zoo and Aquarium in New Orleans DOES NOT ACCEPT THESE TICKETS PURCHASED FROM THIS VENDER! I bought these tickets to spend a day with the family at the Zoo and Aquarium, little did I know, once we made it to the entrance to the zoo, the scanners can’t scan the Viator tickets. Yep $240. Dollars worth of tickets.. no good. I reached out to customer service Saturday and still haven’t heard anything yet. So maybe this place sells valid tickets somewhere.. but I know not in New Orleans. Wish you all the best, I hope it works for you.

Awesome combo!!
All 3 places were awesome! As a teacher I would highly recommend taking kids to them. It had hands-on activities as well as expert chats with the folks that take care of the animals.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Audubon Zoo, Aquarium, and Insectarium Combo Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Audubon Zoo, Aquarium, and Insectarium Combo Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Audubon Zoo, Aquarium, and Insectarium Combo Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Orleans is not rushed.
Is Audubon Zoo, Aquarium, and Insectarium Combo Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Audubon Zoo, Aquarium, and Insectarium Combo Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Audubon Zoo, Aquarium, and Insectarium Combo Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Audubon Zoo, Aquarium, and Insectarium Combo Ticket?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Orleans can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Audubon Zoo, Aquarium, and Insectarium Combo Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Orleans within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Orleans?
+
New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure, New Orleans Self-Transport Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Orleans?
+
February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Orleans?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
