Taylor Swift Takeover at Audubon!

1, 2, 3 Let’s go! Audubon Nature Institute is going WILD for Taylor Swift this weekend. Swifties can join in on the fun during a special Taylor Swift Takeover at Audubon Zoo, Audubon Aquarium, and Audubon Insectarium happening October 25-27, 2024.

Taylor Swift-themed decorations will highlight the Eras Tour’s stop in New Orleans with special friendship bracelet garlands, which can be spotted throughout the attractions. Use our special Taylor-themed Audubon Zoo, Audubon Aquarium, and Audubon Insectarium map to make sure you visit each garland.

Swifties at Audubon Zoo can make a friendship bracelet craft, take the moment and taste it, with their very own themed artwork to keep or trade with others on Capital One Field.

The masterminds at Audubon have created exclusive Taylor-themed apparel, mugs, and stickers, available only in Audubon gift shops. You'll remember this feeling, and these items will never go out of style.

Whether you are in your Midnights Era, 1989 Era or Reputation Era, shake it off at Audubon’s gift shops, where Taylor Swift music will be playing all weekend!

Keep your eyes open, Audubon animals are getting in the spirit with Taylor Swift-themed enrichment too.
