Audubon Aquarium Map and Brochure (2024 – 2020)
Location: New Orleans, Louisiana
Years Active: 1990 – Active
The Audubon Aquarium of the Americas sits right on the Mississippi. It’s been a New Orleans staple since 1990 – some folks love it, others say it’s seen better days. Still, you won’t find a better place to get up close to Gulf of Mexico sea life or those freaky Amazon critters.
Get ready for the crowds, especially with kids around. The Caribbean Reef tank is the big draw, and it’s stunning. The Amazon exhibit? It’s cool, but feels a bit cramped with everyone trying to see the piranhas.
Go for the penguin encounter – it costs extra, but those little guys are worth it. Also, hit the aquarium early or late, the middle of the day gets crazy packed.
They have big expansion plans, but honestly, some basic repairs wouldn’t hurt. Still, with over a million visitors a year, they must be doing something right!
