Gator Eyes

TIMES: Daily, 365 days a year. From opening until 5:30 PM. However, once you have purchased your ticket, you can stay and enjoy the Audubon Garden until dusk. Allow 1 hour for the self-guided walk.

COST: Please see the admission page on this web site for current ticket prices and options. Tickets are purchased at the main Ticket Gate. You may visit the Audubon Garden without first buying an admissions ticket to Magnolia.

The Audubon Swamp Garden is a unique world where trees grow from the water, islands float, and everywhere wild creatures go about their secret lives. It boasts a diversity of living things almost unequaled anywhere else in America. Thousands of plant and animal species coexist amongst the cypress and tupelo gum trees, surrounded by blackwater. Each year, hundreds of egrets, herons, and other waterfowl nest within feet of the walking path. You can explore this wild and otherwise inaccessible landscape on boardwalks, bridges, and dikes.
