August Hours at Cool Zoo at Audubon Zoo in New Orleans

August 4, 2022

Cool Zoo's August hours are weekends only through Sunday, September 3 then the final day is Labor Day, September 4, 2023.

The wet and wild, kid-friendly fun starts with a 750-foot lazy river and continues with a huge alligator water slide, spider monkey soakers, water-spitting snakes and more splash-worthy activities. Best of all, it’s right beside the animals inside Audubon Zoo.

So, bring your little animals to learn more about ours — and stay cool all summer long.
