Audubon Aquarium and Audubon Insectarium

Located at the end of Canal Street on the French Quarter side, the newly combined and reimagined Audubon Aquarium and Audubon Insectarium is a stunning way to spend an afternoon. Walk through the vivid Caribbean Reef, watch sharks, huge sea turtles, and rays dip and dance in front of the 400,000-gallon Gulf of Mexico exhibit, laugh at the otters, pet a baby stingray, hold a butterfly on the end of your finger, and try some Chocolate Chirp Ice Cream at Bug Appétit. Kids of all ages can celebrate the wonders of nature at the Audubon Aquarium and the Audubon Insectarium.
