The Audubon Zoo has been delighting children ever since it opened in 1914. The zoo covers 58 acres and is home to over 2,000 animals. Just about everyone who grew up near New Orleans remembers spending their childhood here, being amazed at seeing all the different animals.

We’ve found some incredible photos from the early days of Audubon that showcase how much has changed in the 104 years it’s been around. Let’s take a look and see how much has changed over the years.
