What a great addition to the Audubon Zoo! This was my first time to see the venue after hearing…read moreabout it for a while. The lazy river is artfully done, giving a nod to Louisiana wildlife and nature areas. There are a lot of skillful and friendly lifeguards around the area. There are several different food pavilions, restrooms, locker areas, and areas to sit. There is also a fun water slide, giving homage to the infamous alligators with albinism who have taken residence at the Zoo and Aquarium over the years. This would be a fun place to relax with your kids during one of the summer sessions. My friends and I attending the adults-only Sip and Dip event held on Fridays during the summer. It was very affordable for a private cabana for six with early access. Be sure to reserve your tickets for the event early online as it does sell out. It got a bit crowded toward the end, and they did run out of regular floats, though some preferred the thick floating noodles offered. Every Friday night has a different theme, so there is something for everyone. They bring in Dickie Brennans for the bar, and they were wonderful with decently priced drinks and quality alcohol. They were also creating with the mocktails. I certainly will return for another Sip and Dip either later this summer, if able, or next year. Absolutely worth it!

Four stars for Cool Zoo's beautiful grounds and water features that are artfully rendered. Two and…read morea half stars for Sip & Dip. Five stars for the incredibly friendly staff. My first time at Cool Zoo was for the adults-only Friday night party, Sip & Dip. This event is 2X a month during the heart of the summer and features theme nights with DJs and of course since this is NOLA, people get creative and might dress in theme. I went on 80s night and the music was so fun and I loved people wearing neon, 80s tshirts and even hair and make-up. Refreshments stands are spread out among the park and they do a themed cocktail and sell beer, hard seltzer and soft drinks, along with typical concession food and popcorn. I had the cocktail of the evening, the Purple Rain and while it was eye-catching, it was so sweet and possibly strong, too, that I couldn't drink more than 1/4 of it (and it's a huge cup, fairly priced at only $13). The grounds are beautiful with fountains and an area with slides and water features that you'd normally see children dominating (with perfectly good reason) but it was actually fun to see adults having at it on the slides and at the water sprayers. Then there's the lazy river, which is a decent size, warm and full of jets to move you along. We ended up not using flotation devices and swam/walked through it. My main issue and why this event isn't personally my cup of tea: it's too crowded. It sells out but I think they sell far too many tickets. We arrived 15 min after it started and there wasn't a lounge chair nor seat at a table to be found. Cabanas are so cheap here but they sell out immediately ahead of the event, likely the day that tickets go on sale. The only way I'd return was if I could get a cabana. The lazy river is completely packed 45 minutes into the event. We were lucky enough to get a locker (which also sell out so imagine being there without a space to put your things??? how is that fun?). People are in general nice enough to hand over the inner tubes but good luck ever getting a place to sit if you didn't line up in advance of start time. I keep going back between 3 and 4 stars for the main reason that everyone who works here is SO nice. The staff really made everything bearable for me, as they were so welcoming and helpful to point out where the lockers were (there's another set behind the set you initially encounter). I just think this isn't the event for anyone who avoids crowds of people. And the crowd that was there that night were totally fine (at least early in the evening). They just sell too many tickets for me to enjoy it.

We had a birthday party at this location last night. The GM was grossly inept and mishandled what…read morewas a serious situation which ultimately ruined the party. One of the employees touched my daughter's neck inappropriately after she was already suited up in her harness. He made comments about how he could braid her hair and also spoke to the girls about the Nirvana song Rape Me. Completely inappropriate. He was also flashing his stomach at the children. When I spoke with the manager, she moved him to another area with primarily smaller children. My daughter and her friends could not enjoy the evening and I also was worried about everyone. The GM hid in the back instead of handling the situation. She didn't check on us or take responsible actions. She told me she was going to call the cops on me for using the F word when I asked her to do her job. She also sent the host of our party in to ask us to leave when the kids finally sat down to eat. The situation was GROSSLY mishandled and off putting. When we left I had to request for her to come to the front. I told her we would not be paying due to the fact that they did not really play due to all the drama. She started shouting "you will be paying" repeatedly. Then ignored me when I asked her how to settle the matter. She was unable to produce the DMM or Owners name. I would appreciate if an HR employee would get in touch with me. I fear that something worse may happen with this mismanagement and allowing these two employees to continue at this location.

Plus their system was hacked and I was emailed by some hackers claiming to be UA. Once we got there, everything was easy. We paid for a vip party so Just go upstairs and they'll have a person to help you out the entire party. Only downside was the only way up is with the stairs. No handicap accessibilities. We set up the room with a few things and went off to play. Every area is super cool and fun! The kids loved it. We came from New Orleans because none of the other trampoline parks had all the different amenities UA has. There was one complaint about the go carts. They weren't being very fair with the lines since they could only run so many cars at a time. So we'd get skipped over for the sake of allowing a certain amount of other people to go. At the end of the day, I definitely plan to go back. This was a really fun experience.

Is this a listing for the whole city? I hope so because it's the review I'm posting…read more Westwego is a lot like the rest of the Westbank: unless you have a specific reason to go there, there is really no reason to go there. The nightlife is non existent, there's no shopping to speak of and the stores they do have are pretty dated. The thing about 'wego is this; it's more like a small town than a city. They have a little court house and all that. The one selling point is the fact that their DMV is pretty painless. Don't speed when you are in Westwego. Years ago I got a ticket for doing 8 over the limit. No kidding. Also, a lot of the residential streets have a speed limit of 15mph and cops will be parked on those streets ready to pull you over if you are going 20mph. Don't tempt fate. These days I only find myself in this part of town if, for some reason, I decide to take the Huey Long bridge.

The two larger and very grown kids in the cart with my children were spinning the thing so fast that one of my kids started screaming and crying and the employee running the ride was completely oblivious just staring off into space and let the ride go on for way to long (including an employee swap out for a break). When he finally decided it would be a good time to stop the ride he seriously went to every cart as slow as possible and I could tell he was going to wait to let my children out last while my child was crying hysterically and terrified. so my husband had to jump over the little gate and unlock the cart himself to get my children out.I would never hire this company nor allow their employees to be in charge of my children's safety. if i see this logo on a employee at a festival ride i am steering clear.
