The Louisiana Purchase Zoological Society 2.8 (reviews)

Lions, tigers and bears, oh my!

We must be at the Louisiana Purchase Zoo, where over 400 animals are there waiting to meet you and say hi!

Over 200 species of animals are represented across these creatures, which is a great learning experience for the kids. Why travel the planet looking for the animals, when all you have to do is visit Louisiana!

Set on 82 acres, the zoo has a focus on delivering an entertaining, educational program in a manner that is safe for both the animals and all families who visit, while allowing kids to start learning the importance environmental conservation. Which we love!

They are home to those majestic, impressive and grand animals that you know and love, including zebra, bison, elk, gibbons, and so many other creatures from across the globe. 

In addition to those beautiful mammals, they also have a number of birds as well as a reptile house. The House of Small is an immersive insect exhibits with fun hands-on experiences for those kids.

For more hands-on fun, make sure you visit the children's zoo, with adorable domestic animals that the kids can get right up close to. 

Feeling that Louisiana heat? The Louisiana Purchase Zoo also have the Zoo Oasis which will cool you down! This fun mini water splash feature is a great way to break up the day.

Did we mention there are also fun Safari boat rides too? At only $3 additional cost, kids can make their way around the river, keeping their eyes peeled as to what other wildlife they will find!
