Location: Avery Island, Louisiana
Years Active: 1935 – Active
Avery Island’s Jungle Gardens isn’t your manicured flower park. It’s a little wild, a little overgrown – which is exactly the charm! Founded way back in 1935, this place is a riot of Louisiana bayous, twisty oaks, and flowers from all over the world. Watch for alligators sunning on the banks, or get lost in the bamboo forest.
Bird nerds, listen up! Jungle Gardens has its own ‘Bird City’ – thousands of egrets and other birds make it their home. Time your visit right, and you might catch a special bird-themed event.
