Audubon Zoo, Zoological park in Uptown New Orleans, United States
The 58-acre Audubon Zoo houses animals from around the world within landscaped gardens beneath large oak trees in the Uptown district.
The zoo traces its origins to 1884 when it began as a small collection of animals during the World Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition.
The Louisiana Swamp exhibit presents native wildlife alongside traditional architectural elements that reflect the regional heritage of the Mississippi Delta.
The zoo provides multiple dining locations, including the Cypress Knee Cafe serving local dishes, plus rest areas and educational programs throughout the grounds.
White alligators, a rare genetic variation found only in Louisiana, reside in specialized habitats within the zoo's swamp exhibition area.

New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, reveals its musical history through its neighborhoods and concert halls. The French Quarter features wrought-iron balconies and Creole buildings facing St. Louis Cathedral, while Bourbon Street is home to jazz clubs and music venues. Preservation Hall has upheld the jazz tradition since 1961 in a building from the 18th century, and Jackson Square hosts musicians and street performers in the city center. The musical heritage extends from the Marigny district, with its Creole houses and clubs, to Congo Square, once a gathering place for African music in the 19th century. The Garden District showcases its 19th-century homes surrounded by gardens, while City Park offers 500 hectares of century-old oaks and botanical gardens. The Louisiana State Museum completes this exploration with its regional history and art collections.
