The shaded walking paths made it comfortable even on a warm day, and the variety of animals kept our whole family entertained. We especially loved seeing the rare white alligators and the new River’s Edge area with the capybaras and tapirs. It’s a beautiful and well-maintained zoo right in the heart of New Orleans." > — ToddandMindy, May 26, 2026 > "Great!" > — janepA7840ES, May 14, 2026
