The April 20, 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill incident is dramatically impacting Louisiana's fragile wetlands and its residents. Read more about Audubon's wildlife rehabilitation efforts and learn how you can help.
Located adjacent from the French Quarter, Audubon Aquarium of the Americas is a stunning place to spend an afternoon in downtown New Orleans. Walk beneath the vivid Caribbean Reef, feed a stingray, become an Adventure Island explorer and journey the Mississippi River.
At the Aquarium penguins, stingrays, sharks and other deep-sea creatures await your visit. See new animals and old favorites, too—including our beloved sea otters Buck and Emma! You can also relax in front of the 400,000-gallon Gulf of Mexico exhibit, grab a bite to eat in the Aquarium's food court and then take home a souvenir from our gift shop!
Insects outnumber people 1.5 million to one and comprise nearly 90% of all the animals on the planet and play a vital role in maintaining balanced and healthy ecosystems. Worldwide, thousands of insect species face extinction due to human induced changes to their habitats and the environment. See exotic and rare insects from around the world at Audubon Insectarium.
