Audubon Aquarium of the Americas

Easy location to get to, fair price for the experience. Really enjoyed the visit! Only have 4 stars and not 5 because the gift shop should have more adult gifts. Very limited selection for adults and mainly geared towards children. More postcards would be fun!

The last time I came was over a decade ago. The aquarium is pretty nice -- probably more amazing when you are a child since you become jaded as you age. The aquarium could use a refresh -- feels like it was built in the 90s. The variety is good. Parking is always tricky downtown. I enjoyed it overall. Several of the displays are down due to Covid but still would recommend. Enjoy and bring a kid or nine. Peace.

Ir was a little too crowded for me. Made it hard to enjoy the different species.

Other than visiting The Downtown Aquarium in Houston against my will, I had no interest in aquariums in general. When I stopped New Orleans during my gulf coast road trip, I was impressed by the building design and thought I should try giving this aquarium a try. I was glad I did. It's a steep entrance fee, but it's well worth it. The exhibits are well designed, interesting and creative. It's a photographer's paradise. Honestly it's what kept me here. Lots of vibrant colors and designs. Sure the fish are cool too. If you have the chance to visit, do yourself a favor and reserve a spot.

I'm a little biased because we have a fairly nice aquarium in my hometown, so lets just get that out of the way. This charge of entry for two people was around 60-65$ which seemed a little steep to me for what was there. The aquarium does have some good exhibits though and is worth checking out - some below.
