Baton Rouge Zoo

Discover the animals that call BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo home. More than 1,800 animals await you in the beautifully landscaped Zoo. You'll enjoy The Otter Pond, an exhibit featuring a replicated fishing cabin with underwater viewing of the otters, L'aquarium de Louisiane, which exhibits the fish, reptiles andhibians of Louisiana. Take a stroll through Parrot Paradise where you'll see rare and colorful birds from the tropics. Youngsters will enjoy the Safari Playground located next to the KidsZoo, a place for hands-on encounters with farm animals! Plus, don't miss a live animal show featuring the Zoo's Asian elephants. Your visit is not complete without a scenic ride on the Cypress Bayou Railroad or a narrated tour of the Zoo on the sidewalk White Tiger Tram. Food concessions are available at the Flamingo Cafe and great souvenirs and gifts can be found at the Safari Post gift shop!
