Top 10 Things to do in Audubon (University), Louisiana (LA)

October 31, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

Laissez les bons temps rouler! In New Orleans the good times are perpetually rolling down Bourbon Street, which, thanks to the city’s annual Mardi Gras celebration, has quite a party animal reputation. Once you’ve soaked up the scenery of the historic French Quarter, tour the elegant Garden District and meet the colorful characters of Frenchmen Street. Experience the city's supernatural vibe at the Voodoo Museum or by taking a guided ghost or vampire tour through taverns, alleyways, and cemeteries.

The zoo was one of the most beautiful zoos that I have visited. The animals seem to be thriving in there habitats. The staff was very knowledgable and caring of the animals. Beautiful mature trees and plants added to the charm of the zoo. The children in our group loved water area and the train ride was enjoyed by all ages in our group.

Audubon Park

This park is filled with graceful Spanish Oaks and has open spaces perfect for all sorts of recreational activities and dog-walking.

Reviewed By laurmcc15 - Los Angeles, United States

What a true gem in the middle of a major city! Audubon Park is wonderful green space within the city and is easily accessible. There are great paved paths for walking, making it easy for visitors of all ages and abilities. The paths take you past stately old trees and there is plenty of wildlife to look at as you walk. My absolute favorite place in the park is The Tree of Life. It’s magnificent and I can imagine it would be fun for children to play on the large exposed roots. If you are visiting New Orleans and want a change of pace and do something more relaxing, the Park and The Tree of Life in particular, is a great destination I would happily recommend to anyone, friends or family of any age.
