Zoo Picnic Pavilion

The Audubon Zoo Picnic Pavilion is the perfect venue for your next outdoor event. Conveniently located in Audubon Zoo, this outdoor space offers covered seating, a sand volleyball court, a large grassy lawn, and of course, nearby zoo attractions. New Orleans is a great city for outdoor events, from crawfish boils to just socializing in the sun, and the versatile Zoo Picnic Pavilion can be transformed to fit almost any activities you have in mind. Our daytime buffet-style picnics are appropriate for gatherings of all sizes, making the Picnic Pavilion a popular choice for corporate picnics, family reunions, club gatherings, birthday parties, and more. This venue has been a destination for class field trips, boy and girl scout meetings, corporate team building retreats and training sessions. It's also the perfect place for children's birthday party guests to stop for a sweet treat between the Swamp Train and the Gottesman Family Endangered Species Carousel.
