The Audubon Zoo is conveniently located in the heart of New Orleans at 6500 Magazine Street.
Situated within the beautiful and historic Audubon Park, the zoo is easily accessible from the Uptown neighborhood.
Its central location makes it a perfect destination for both local residents and tourists exploring the city’s unique cultural and natural landmarks.
The zoo is located on Magazine Street, easily accessible from the Uptown neighborhood. It offers a main parking lot with ample space for visitors.
Driving from Downtown/French Quarter: Take Magazine Street Uptown (west). You will pass through the Garden District and the university area. The zoo will be on your left, just past the Tulane and Loyola University campuses and across from Audubon Park.
Parking: Free parking is available in the zoo’s main lot, located at 6500 Magazine Street. This lot can fill up quickly on weekends and holidays, so arrive early for the best spots.
For a classic New Orleans experience, take the historic St. Charles Avenue Streetcar. This iconic line runs from Canal Street downtown through the beautiful Garden District and Uptown.
Exit the streetcar at the Audubon Park stop (at the intersection of St. Charles and Tulane/Loyola). From there, you can enjoy a leisurely stroll through Audubon Park – a walk of about 15-20 minutes – to reach the zoo’s entrance on Magazine Street.
The New Orleans RTA Bus #11 (Magazine) line provides direct service to the zoo. The bus travels along Magazine Street, and there are stops directly in front of the zoo’s entrance. This is the most direct public transit option.
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft or a traditional taxi can drop you off directly at the zoo’s main entrance on Magazine Street, offering a convenient door-to-door service. Simply input “Audubon Zoo” as your destination.
