The Audubon Aquarium Of The Americas is on the riverfront, adjacent to the French Quarter.
What a delight, as you will see in the accompaning photographs.
Best of all, the price of admission includes the Aquarium, the IMAX Theater, and the Audubon Zoo.
This is definetely a child friendly environment.
The aquarium is quite large, with many hands-on exhibits. You'll find many snack bars, resting areas, play areas, and places where the children
can actually touch the fish and stingrays. The gift shops are a child's delight. They offer every kind of toy, picture and cd
along with the usual tee shirts, cups, and novelties. Best of all, the proceeds go to Save Our Wetlands.
Be sure to see
"Hurricane On The Bayou"
in the IMAX Theater.
"Hurricane .." is a documentary of the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina,
both to man and the surrounding environment.
Th emotional impact is phenomenal. Bring your tissues.
Proudly serving New Orleans and Southern Louisiana
