Audubon Louisiana Nature Center

Updated 2025 review: Great walking trails! Well maintained, well marked. The visitor center was a wealth of information and the park rangers were friendly and helpful. I would recommend to anyone in the area. 2019 review: The employees here are passionate about their work. I came as a single person and was welcomed into the planetarium ($8 for an adult) and it was great. The planetarium is geared to kids, but the gal doing the show was just lovely. I was not aware that the 2nd Saturday of each month is a farmers market, so that was a nice surprise. Everything else is free of charge. I walked part of the trails, and they were well maintained. I look forward to coming back and bringing friends with me.

Deeply underrated location. Enjoyed a peaceful loop here on the adventure trail loop. Saw alligators, numerous birds, and turtles at the pond. The staff couldn't have been nicer. Saw two shows at the planetarium as well - Southwestern skies and Habitat Earth. The hosts helped to make the show engaging as well.

It was ok. The nature walk was horrible. You don't get a guide, so the class got lost. The lil show was boring. The best thing was the little museum they had. The kids really liked that area.

Great place in the city for getting away. Very peaceful. Employees were awesome in assisting us and giving us information.

The Audubon Louisiana Nature Center offers peaceful scenery and nature immersion through a system of manageable length nature trails for all ages, toddlers to elderly. Options for boardwalk or dirt trails are available. The boardwalk trails have built-in benches at turn-around points perfect for those who require recovery after short distances. The Interpretive Center is only open 10am - 2pm Thurs - Sat but is worth planning your trip around if you would like to make this an educational visit or have small children to wow. While the facility is equipped with a Planetarium, it has been closed since the pandemic began and has not opened as of the writing of this review 3/2023.
