There's something about a zoo that brings the kid out in people. The Zoo of Acadiana is one such place. From the road you would never think that it was so nice and large. That is because the zoo incorporates the natural landscape into the attraction. It hosts an incredible amount of different animals including tigers, Australian Kingfishers, monkeys and all kinds of creatures from around the world. Zoo employees lead talks about the zoo and its animals twice daily. For a mere $2.00, you can go into a large enclosure that holds many different types of birds, and feed them a fruit mixture. At times during the feedings they will perch on your shoulders and even your head to enjoy the food. Tours are limited to 20 people so as to not disturb the inhabitants too much. The zoo also has kiddie tours that feature many of the animals. A good idea is to arrive early in order to make make it a day and take your time enjoying what it has to offer.
