Taking A Look At Audubon Zoo

When it comes to traveling to different cities, there are usually particular things you have in mind that you want to make sure you see. And then, there are things that you do not think about until after you leave the city, and you regret the fact that you did not see them! When it comes to New Orleans, one of the things that often gets overlooked is the Audubon Zoo - and after people leave the city, they regret not having seen it!

Audubon Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in the country - having been around since 1915 - and it is also one of the most significant zoos. But in addition to being interesting from a purely historical perspective, Audubon Zoo is also interesting for the animals it houses!

At Audubon Zoo, you will enjoy an experience that is truly and uniquely "Southern Louisiana" - with the most "Southern Louisiana" area of all being the swamplands. When you visit the swamp area of Audubon Zoo, you will be able to see all sorts of animals that are part of the landscape in Southern Louisiana. With animals ranging from black bears to cottonmouth snakes to alligators - and with a fully authentic setting - you will feel like you are truly in the swamp. But not only does this area have these animals you could find at other zoos; it also has the famous white alligators! These alligators are one of the most unique aspects of this zoo, as they belong to an entire litter that were all born completely white!

In addition to the swamp animals, you will also be able to see the typical animals you would see at most zoos, and you can visit Monkey Hill. Monkey Hill is a manmade hill that is considered to be the highest point in New Orleans - about thirty feet above sea level! In fact, this hill was originally built so that the children of New Orleans would know what a hill looks like!

If you want to get the full flavor of New Orleans on a trip to the city, make sure you stop by Audubon Zoo - you will truly be happy that you remembered, and that you made the effort to go.
