Pros: Interactive and well-designed exhibits, good variety, helpful volunteers. Cons: Fairly small for the price; gift shops every 20 feet, yeesh.
“So, you won’t mind if we spend a while at the otter exhibit, will you?” asked my friend as we got our tickets. “Like an hour or so?” It’s amazing what you find out about people when you vacation with them; I’d previously been unaware that she was an ...
The Aquarium of the Americas is one of those places where most people who go for the first time will walk around with their mouth hanging open. If you have even the slightest interest in marine wildlife, you MUST go see what they have.
Pros: Wide diversity of exhibits. Seahorses. Jellyfish. Sharks. Sea Otters. Cons: Somewhat expensive. Parking can be a headache.
New Orleans' Audubon Aquarium of the Americas is recognized as one of the country's top aquariums for its dazzling exhibits as well as its scientific, educational and conservation programs. Visitors may find the prices a bit steep, but once the sting ...

After going to the Monterey Aquarium (which I had heard was good) and being vastly bored and disappointed, I was hesitant to visit the Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans. My new husband and I chose New Orleans to visit for our honeymoon and spent the ...
Pros: Fabulous for the kiddies and adults Cons: Pricey, but the exhibits are worth it
The Audubon Institute's Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans is a fun, but too brief, frolick for the whole family. Located on the Mississippi riverfront at Canal Street, the Aquarium is easily accessible by auto or streetcar. It opens at 9:30 am and...
Pros: A top 10 Aquarium - not to be missed Cons: No major cons
The Aquarium of the Americas is one of the top attractions in New Orleans for families. The combination of location, exhibits, and experiences make it simply a must for visitors to New Orleans. Here's my review.
Pros: various tanks give you interesting perspectives and camera shots Cons: some areas too small and cramped, goofy ticket-buying set-up
When we were planning our trip to New Orleans, I looked at various web sites and found an advertisment for FROGS in big bold letters. Now whenever I see that lovely word, my heart skips a beat. I investigated, discovering that there was now a frog...
Pros: Very nice, good look at the animals in the waters around Louisiana Cons: A bit expensive for the few hours you will be in there.
Yes, people eat alligator here; well, not in the aquarium, but in the city they do. As a matter of fact I like alligator meat, but that is beside the point. The point is that if you would like to take some time and look at the aquatic animals of the...
I was in New Orleans for a national conference and discovered that the Aquarium of the Americas was within walking distance from the conference hotel (the Mariott). The morning of Good Friday I had a few hours to spare and decided to go.
Pros: Plenty to see, feel, and hear Cons: Brrr! It's cold in there!
My family went to New Orleans on a weekend trip with no real plans. My husband and I had been to the aquarium before the kids were born, but we didn't remember much about it. After parking (which ended up costing about $8.00 for the whole day, not...
Last summer's family vacation found us in New Orleans. An unexpected stop, along our way to Baton Rouge. I pulled out the trusty AAA tour-book and found the Aquarium Of The Americas listed in New Orleans. A quick family vote and we were on our way....
Pros: good exhibits, kid friendly, IMAX theater attached Cons: expensive, crowded at peak times, smaller than expected
I nearly didn't make it into the famed Aquarium
of the Americas. Battling my way through hundreds
(yes, hundreds) of screaming schoolchildren I
searched in vain for a quieter entrance. The
prominently displayed signs advertising a...
Pros: Wide variety of exotic animals, very affordable, something the whole family can enjoy. Cons: Not as large as one would expect it to be, traffic there can be quite congested--if at all possible, take a cab!
I survived a trip to the Aquarium of the Americas on a Saturday in September with my husband, my then six year old son and my parents-in-law. Not only did I survive it--we all had a wonderful time!!! It was so clean and well organized. Though it...
We are New Orleans residents and love our aquarium! It's a great place to go anytime, but especially on our unbearably hot summer days or when it's too cold outside for the kids. Our preschool age girls have a wonderful time exploring the canopy of the...
