Baton Rouge Zoo ­ Year Round Family Attraction

Baton Rouge Zoo

Baton Rouge Zoo is one of the many family-friendly attractions of Baton Rouge, LA that receives thousands of tourists all year round. Located at a distance of just 15 minutes from North Baton Rouge Downtown, the Zoo is extremely popular with kids & adults alike.
The zoo is operated by the Recreation & Park Commission of East Baton Rouge (BREC) & houses over 1,800 animals brought together from across the world. The Baton Rouge Zoo besides being known for its diverse number of animals is also known as being the first zoo in Louisiana to be accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquarium.

Zoo Exhibits

The Baton Rouge Zoo is divided into several exhibits for the ease of viewing.

    L'aquarium de Louisiane: Here one can see the popular reptiles, fishes & amphibians of Louisiana.
    The Otter Pond: An interesting exhibit that offers unique underwater viewing of otters.
    Parrot Paradise: Its home to endless varieties of colorful & rare birds from tropics.
    Kids Zoo: A children’s hot-spot located near the Safari Playground of the zoo where kids get to enjoy an exciting hands-on-experience with numerous farm animals.

While the above mentioned are some of the major attractions of the Baton Rouge Zoo, a trip of the zoo would be incomplete without a ride aboard the scenic Cypress Bayou Railroad or a narrated tour on the White Tiger Tram. You may also pick up gifts & souvenirs at the Safari Post gift shop.
