We have the entire Audubon Zoo to ourselves!

We went to Audubon Zoo in New Orleans two weeks ago on Memorial Day holiday. It rained heavily on that day for almost entire day. The rain finally stopped around 2pm and the zoo closes at 5pm. We just joined membership at the zoo for the entire family for $65 (50% off from their regular membership price due to a promotion), it doesn't cost us anything to go the zoo for just two hours.

When we arrived at the zoo, I must say there are less than 10 visitors in the entire zoo since the rain just stopped and the zoo will be closing in a few hours. The zoo entry ticket is $13 and it is not worthwhile to go for just a few hours.

We went to the petting area, this is where the kids get to touched and combed the hair of goats and sheeps. We were pleasantly surprise, Meredith and Isaac are the only two kids there and they get to touch all the animals without having to wait in line. This is such a far cry from Houston zoo on public holiday where 100 kids chased around 5 goats trying to comb their hair.
