New Orleans · AQUARIUMS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 2 aquarium visits worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Visit the Audubon Aquarium beside the French Quarter and see more than 3,600 animals from 250 species. Touch sharks and stingrays, walk through the Great Maya Reef tunnel, explore the Amazon Rainforest, and add the Insectarium or Audubon Zoo for five-day savings.
“They can’t scan the tickets you sent me online. Still had to stand in line to get tickets.”
Spend 2 to 3 hours at the Audubon Aquarium and Insectarium beside New Orleans’ French Quarter. Expect Caribbean, Amazon, Mississippi River, and Gulf exhibits, a shark and ray touch pool, butterflies, insects, and more than 3,600 animals. Admission is self-guided, with a mobile ticket.
“The main saving grace for this visit, was getting out of the rain that was coming down all day. This aquarium is smaller then alot we have visited. Gatlinburg and Newport Ky both are larger and have more displays. It was fine, just happy that we got discounted tickets here.”
Pick a neighbourhood, a boat or a night out.
