NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Cool Zoo and the Gator Run lazy river, Audubon Zoo’s popular water attractions, will open for the 2021 season on a Wednesday through Sunday schedule beginning Wednesday, June 16.
This year, unlike years past, Audubon will offer two sessions each day for guests to enjoy Cool Zoo while visiting Audubon Zoo. These two daily sessions allow Audubon to manage capacity limitations, provide room for physical distancing, and comply with CDC guidelines. At 1 p.m. each day, between sessions, Cool Zoo will close to allow Audubon staff ample time to clean all shared equipment and surfaces. The two sessions are 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. – 5 p.m.
