The Zoosiana zoo in Brousard - absolutely pathetic

Not that I expected anything better than pathetic, but man oh man it was baaad.

My wife and I went to Avery Island for their Easter egg hunt for the little one and on the way back he wanted to stop. We were tired and just wanted to get back home but we figured since he had been so good we should reward him with saying “yes” to his request.

First off, it was cheap as shite to get in. All three of us cost $26 to get in . Not complaining, but we were both just like “hmm, this ought to be interesting”. Zoo in the middle of nowhere that costs so little? Let’s just say $26 was too much for what we got.

First exhibit was two lions, sleeping, with their lion testicles hanging out on full display. I thought it was funny, the wife smirked, but our three year old son thought it was the funniest shite he’d seen. The thing is these lions were being “held back” by a regular chain link fence only about 15’ tall with NO COVER! Tony the Tiger at the truck stop had a more secure set up.

All the exhibits were filthy and needed a good pressure washing. Cobwebs were everywhere - intertwined in the fencing around the animals, all along the walkways, and covering the under sides of every eve, overhang, and roof we walked under/near.

90% of the wood walkways, decks, seating areas, and bridges needed to be pressure washed or actually replaced due to rot.

A snake actually slithered across a walkway in front of us, stopping us in our tracks. Not completely sure if it was an escapee or just living in the area.

The bengal tiger needed to eat a burger it was so skinny and it actually LIFTED ITS LEG AND SPRAYED/PISSED ON A KID IN FRONT OF US!!! I’m not kidding! The kid of course screamed and cried and her parents were pissed.

Peacocks escaped and were walking around the whole play area for the kids. Workers were scrambling trying to get them back to where they belonged.

The grass hadn’t been cut in what looked like months, maybe a year, inside the exhibits.

It was maddening, funny, and quite sad at the same time. Our kid loved it because he doesn’t know any better but it was about what one would expect from a zoo in the middle of BFE.
