The #1 year-round family attraction in Baton Rouge! Discover the animals that call BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo home. More than 1,800 animals await you in the beautifully landscaped Zoo. You'll enjoy The Otter Pond, an exhibit featuring a replicated fishing cabin with underwater viewing of the otters, L'aquarium de Louisiane, which exhibits the fish, reptiles and amphibians of Louisiana. Take a stroll through Parrot Paradise where you'll see rare and colorful birds from the tropics. Youngsters will enjoy the Safari Playground located next to the KidsZoo, a place for hands-on encounters with farm animals! Plus, don't miss a live animal show featuring the Zoo's Asian elephants.
