Monroe, LA

One of the most unique experiences at the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo, and one that only exists at a handful of zoo’s nationwide, is our Safari Boat Ride! Over a period of about 20-30 minutes, our boats glide peacefully through our scenic lagoon, passing several islands, and at times, under a canopy of shade producing tree branches. The ride itself is quite relaxing, but you will also see a large variety of hoofed animals that can not be seen any other way other than by boat! Aquatic wildlife is also abundant. Turtles, ducks, geese, and wading birds are a common sight. The ride also passes under the train bridge several times, again, a unique adventure, especially if the train is crossing the bridge at the same time!
