Dos and Don’ts

  • Have a wonderful time exploring some of the wonders of the world!
  • With hundreds of plant and animal species, The Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo offers a picturesque and relaxing setting.
  • See and hear! It is believed that the naturalistic habitats in which their animals live provide a safe and comfortable environment for the animals.
  • Wait for your favorite animal to emerge if you do not see it right away. Perhaps you should return later.
  • Take care! Despite being in captivity, animals are still wild.
  • Be careful not to step on them.
  • In order to ensure the safety of their children, parents should supervise them and make sure they do not venture off the walking paths, cross fence lines, or approach an animal.
  • Please refrain from feeding the animals. The Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo houses a number of animals that consume specialized diets. Unless their zookeepers instruct you otherwise, please do not feed the animals. You may feed the animals in the Children’s Zoo, at the Budgie Exhibit, and in the Duck Dock. Please use only the food provided in the machines.
  • Enjoy your party! A rental of the Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo Pavilion is ideal for reunions, company picnics, concerts, cookouts, and more.
