1 review for Ochsner Park & Zoo
This is a tiny, free zoo that sometimes has more animals on display than others. The animals include a goat, timber wolves, capuchin monkeys, a couple of llamas, a black bear, some birds, and a bunch of deer. The prairie dogs, of which there are many, are a highlight - check out the bad boy in the picture. As you might guess from that image, there are grain dispensers throughout the zoo that accept quarters. The bear seems like a nice guy, but the goat wasn't accepting visitors when I tried to stop by.
There's a little snack bar on one side of the zoo. The habitats are OK - unlike many, these don't make me overly sad. It's a nice place to visit, but you don't need to spend more than 15-20 minutes here because there's really not all that much to see.
