New Orleans Louisiana has been popular throughout the years because of its rich and lively Creole culture, its annual Mardi Gras events, and it definitely doesn?t hurt that novelist Anne Rice has chosen it as the location for her series of vampire novels.

Although New Orleans had since then been devastated by Hurricane Katrina and is still in the rebuilding process, it?s not the only LA attraction remaining. If you?re in the area with your kids, a trip to the LA Baton Rouge Zoo is something you won?t regret.

Besides the usual zoo offerings, the people behind Baton Rouge Zoo make it a point to continuously improve and increase interaction between their visitors and their animals. With Realm of the Tiger, Baton Rouge introduces animals roaming the wilds of Asia such as exotic birds, Siamang gibbons, and tigers.

And if you happen to be there at the time, you and your family could be part of the zoo?s annual spring festival, the Zippity Zoo Fest, or join the Spring Zoo Camp.
