Enjoyable, especially during rain or high humidity Jul 03, 2008

On a hot/humid day in New Orleans I recommend going to the Aquarium of the Americas. It's located at the Mississippi Waterfront, right where the ferry landing is. The IMAX theater is located in the same building and there are great deals if you want to visit both.
Tickets are $17.50 per adult. It's not the cheapest but there is plenty to see inside and hey! They need to feed those animals from something right? I was surprised to see a stingray touch tank and an albino alligator! The aquarium itself is on 2 levels. The exhibits are very pretty. The lush rain forest exhibit, where you can find a couple of parrots, was my favorite. It was complete with indoor waterfall and a tree house trail.
We had a good time and it was great to get out of the heat for a while.
Enjoy!
