Water park in New Orleans Audubon Zoo?

New Orleans Audubon Zoo is a great zoo with very natural settings and wide variety of exotic animals but it is not a water park, at least not till today...

This afternoon I took Meredith and Isaac to the zoo by myself while Boon Hong went shopping. The temperature was hovering near 100F and after looking at a few animals we gravitate towards the Monkey Hill area of the zoo. The Monkey Hill consists of a rope walk where kids can climb up and down like monkey/spider. There is also a small man-made water fall nearby. After climbing the Monkey Hill, Meredith and Isaac couldn't wait to dip their feet in the pool below the water fall. At first, they just wanted to "touch" the water. Then, they wanted to stand in the water. And then before you know, Meredith "fell" and started playing around in the water. After that, there was no going back. Isaac and Meredith were soon playing and swimming in the pool.
We had such a good time and stayed till the zoo closing time. When the security guard came by, we finally realized we are one of the last people to leave the zoo.
