Brec’s Baton Rouge

BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo is home to animals from around the world including tigers, elephants, flamingos, alligators and the first black rhino born in Louisiana. The Baton Rouge Zoo was the first zoo in Louisiana to achieve the distinguished honor of being accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. As a leader in the zoo field, the Baton Rouge Zoo was accredited in 1977, four years before any other zoos in the state and eight years before such accreditation was mandatory for membership in this prestigious professional association.
