BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo

IMG_4406
    The zoo celebrated its 40th anniversary last year and, like many zoos, some of the original enclosures are still in use. Others like the tiger habitat, pictured above, are newly constructed. Most of the animals have roomy enclosures and are easy to see. The small cats are in older cages and viewing is blocked by the cage construction. Some of the fish and reptiles are placed too high to be easily viewed.

   The  paths are wide, fairly smooth concrete. The South America section has an arched bridge that is very steep. It’s easy to bypass loops of animals and end up back at the entrance so check the many maps posted throughout the zoo so that you don’t miss anything.

  The parking lot is large enough for any RV.  Zoo
