Louisiana Swamp Exhibit


The Louisiana Swamp Exhibit is where is all started. It was the inspiration for the Louisiana Swamp Fest and central point for meeting Swamp creatures of all kinds. Audubon Zoo's Louisiana Swamp Exhibit is the most authentic swamp exhibit in Louisiana. Fest-goers can experience traditional Cajun music or learn about the Cajun culture. There will also be animal feedings throughout the exhibit including a scheduled alligator feeding!

Kids of all ages can learn about our Zoo animals in their natural habitats including rare white tigers, white alligators and orangutans and more! Read more about Audubon Zoo.

Louisiana Swamp Exhibit


The Louisiana Swamp Exhibit is where is all started. It was the inspiration for the Louisiana Swamp Fest and central point for meeting Swamp creatures of all kinds. Audubon Zoo's Louisiana Swamp Exhibit is the most authentic swamp exhibit in Louisiana. Fest-goers can experience traditional Cajun music or learn about the Cajun culture. There will also be animal feedings throughout the exhibit including a scheduled alligator feeding!
