amazing loved the touch pool.
It was a friendly welcoming and surprisingly clean. Good job.
Excellent staff to answer questions at insectarium and aquarium. Food outlet great!
I loved the aquarium and insectarium experience. They are definitely very well designed, with spacious areas that are extremely clean and well maintained. The gift shops were spectacular and beautifully set up. However, the insectarium truly stands out for its incredible level of detail. Honestly, I highly recommend visiting the New Orleans Aquarium and Insectarium.
They combines the building and removed so much. The aquarium feels like your passing the same tank 4 times, and the insectarium was lackluster except for the butterfly exhibit.
Great staff & fun activities, we really enjoyed the butterfly exhibit & they have a stingray ‘petting’ station every hour or so. It was great to see sea life & insects across the world in themed areas. Would definitely recommend for small children, lots of hands on activities.
le prix des photos moins chère si non rien d autres .
Defined no value for money. Do not recommend
It was nice
