Cool Zoo

Cool Zoo is OPEN for the season!

Cool Zoo, the wild and wet splash park, is one of the top water parks New Orleans has to offer. It is the hot spot for kids to cool down at Audubon Zoo. Highlights include jumping water spouts, a huge alligator water slide, a spider monkey soaker, water-spitting snakes and more. There is also shaded seating, family restrooms, a Snack N' Splash concession stand and The Cool Shop carrying a variety of summertime necessities.

The splash park offers three different splash zones with one area specifically for toddlers and younger kids. Cool Zoo is located between the Gottesman Family Endangered Species Carousel and Embraceable Zoo.
