The Activity we Experienced
What we chose to do
Some Close Encounters at the Zoo and Aquarium
How did you discover this activity?
I found TripShock on Google when I was looking for a discount for the Audubon Aquarium and Zoo. We saved about forty dollars by using TripShock.
When did you book your tour compared to the departure date?
We booked a day in advance.
Why did you choose this activity?
It had been several years since I was a child and went to the Aquarium and Zoo, and I couldn’t wait for my small children to experience it. We weren’t disappointed! The aquarium and the zoo were both lots of fun.
How did you get to the activity location?
We booked a hotel in Slidell so we could avoid the in city traffic and drove in the morning of our visit.
What was your experience with the activity’s staff?
The staff at both locations was very nice and helpful.
Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?
Seeing the delight and wonder on the kids faces was totally worth it, and I’m so glad we came. It was a fun and educational trip.
It’s not every day we get to have such close encounters with nature. The giraffes and the elephants were definitely a highlight for my crew.
Lots of giggles and questions as they enjoyed seeing in real life what they had only seen in books or pictures up to this point.
The zoo was also very accessible to my elderly parents. Scooter rental was only 25 dollars for the day and allowed them to go everywhere.
Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?
I would recommend this to anyone with children smaller or older. It’s fun and educational and a great way to spend quality time with visiting relatives.
