Is the BR Zoo worth it? Is there any fun family-friendly events today?

I have found the BR Zoo to be one of the more under-rated Baton Rouge activities. I've gone a few times and always have a good time. They have a few shows including the elephants and snakes. It's nothing super special, but it is an inexpensive and fun afternoon getaway.

The BR zoo is ok. I prefer making the drive to NOLA and going to the Audubon Zoo instead. BR zoo is a bit smaller and not as kept up as the Audubon Zoo. Plus last time I went to the BR zoo it seemed like every 3rd exhibit was empty or closed.

It's a pretty bad zoo, but kids don't know the difference so it can be fun with them.

I see you go often. Haven't had elephants for a few years now. The place is practically empty now

Good time with the family.

Couldn't have said it better.

Why don't you check their website or call them? I'm sure they know more than any poster here except maybe jones

NICE TIGER EXHIBIT!!!

It's fun! It's not in any way comparable to Audubon but it's a nice size zoo that is relatively low priced. The train is a lot of fun to ride. Some of the exhibits clearly show their age, but they have some new ones as well. Membership fee is very affordable. The halloween and christmas events are a lot of fun.

I agree. I always heard it was awful but I went a month or so ago and it was good. The kids loved it.

The USS Kidd and museum, The Louisiana State Museum and the Louisiana Art & Science Museum are all great family activities in Baton Rouge.

I don't know if anyone responding in this thread is serious. The Baton Rouge zoo is terrible.

I enjoy visiting the BR zoo. I'm a big fan of the Otters.
Posted on 6/2/15 at 9:23 am to lsufan9193969700
If you go in the morning when it opens, it's definitely worth it. The kids can see the Tigers, flamingos, giraffes, ect and they'll have a blast. Just, word of advice, don't go in the middle of the day. it gets hot as balls and there's little shade to be had.

The Otters are awesome. I also love how you can feed the giraffes. They walk right up to you.

From a kid's point of view, I don't think there is such a thing as a bad zoo.
