As part of the Audubon Nature Institute, the Audubon Zoo is a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving nature and the environment. The zoo is located on a 58-acre piece of land in New Orleans and is home to more than 2,000 animals spread out over a number of themed exhibits.

Some of the most popular include the award-winning Louisiana swamp exhibit, the African Savanna exhibit, and the reptile encounter where visitors can see a Komodo dragon as well as a rare white alligator with blue eyes. The zoo is open all year round, but hours vary according to the season.
