re: Going to Baton Rouge Zoo for the first time this weekend, tell me what to expect

Have BR Zoo membership. Went no less than ~40 times in the year. I don’t think of it as a “zoo” so much as a nature trail with animals scattered along it.

Only thing I was ever concerned with was if an animal got out. Nobody would be around to save you. Its usually that desolate.

Clever bait.

It's not terrible or unsafe but set your expectations low. It is many times better than the Jackson, MS zoo that is truly in the hood and has been closed for several months.

I've heard some horror stories about the neighborhood. Will we be safe? Should I leave the Kevlar at home or bring it?

You won't even notice the "neighborhood". From Interstate to Zoo isn't bad at all.
