Although John James Audubon, America's best known ornithologist, lived only for a short time in New Orleans, both the park and zoo bear his name. A fun way to arrive at the Audubon Zoo is aboard this sternwheeler boat. This river vessel, with its sleek contemporary lines, can easily accommodate up to 300 guests. Should your travels not include the zoo, there is an on-board gallery and full service catering available, making this the ideal party boat for an afternoon with friends. You may purchase tickets with or without zoo and aquarium admission but combination tickets will save you money.

There is a gift shop where you can buy Carnival memorabilia, so you can say you have seen Mardi Gras and have something to show for it. This is a fun trip for children, as a chest full of costumes affords them the chance to dress in true Carnival style. Tickets are $8.50 and include cake and coffee. Hours will vary around Mardi Gras.
