Audubon Aquarium of the Americas
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!
Audubon Aquatics Center
Audubon’s newly completed Audubon Aquatics Center, on the ground of Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center, broadens the capacity for our staff to work toward saving endangered aquatics species. This state-of-the-art holding facility provides support to Audubon Aquarium of the Americas for quarantine, breeding programs and animal rehabilitation in conjunction with the Louisiana Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Rescue Program.
