If you're staying near Dooky Chase in the Treme neighborhood and looking to get to the St. Charles Streetcar to head to the Audubon Zoo, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it, along with your return trip for the Aquarium:
1. First, to reach the St. Charles streetcar line from the Treme area, you will need to head towards Canal Street. The St. Charles line is accessible from Canal, which is a major cross-street in New Orleans.
- Option 1: Walk to the St. Charles streetcar line: From Dooky Chase, it’s about a 15-minute walk to the St. Charles line. Head southwest on St. Bernard Avenue, turn left onto North Rampart Street, and continue straight to Canal Street. Once you reach Canal Street, you can board the St. Charles streetcar at any stop along that route.
- Option 2: Take a bus to Canal Street: If you prefer not to walk, you can take the #91 bus along St. Claude Avenue toward Canal Street. Once you reach Canal, you can transfer to the St. Charles streetcar, which will take you towards the Audubon Zoo.
2. For the Audubon Zoo, you will want to ride the St. Charles streetcar and get off at the "Audubon Zoo" stop. The streetcar ride itself is scenic and enjoyable, but make sure you check the stop announcements or ask the conductor if you're unsure.
3. On your return trip from the zoo to visit the Aquarium, you will need to catch the St. Charles streetcar again, but this time, you’ll exit at the "Riverwalk Marketplace" stop. From there, the Audubon Aquarium is just a short walk away.
- Option 1: Take the St. Charles streetcar back from the zoo: Ride back towards Canal Street and exit at the "Riverwalk Marketplace" stop, which is closest to the aquarium.
- Option 2: If you want to explore more of the city: You can exit earlier at the "Carondelet Street" or "Lee Circle" stops and enjoy a short walk through the Central Business District, which will also lead you to the aquarium area.
In summary:
- From Dooky Chase, walk or take the bus to Canal Street to board the St. Charles streetcar.
- Get off at the "Audubon Zoo" stop for the zoo.
- For the aquarium, exit the streetcar at "Riverwalk Marketplace" on the return ride.
Enjoy your trip to the zoo and aquarium! New Orleans' streetcar system is a great way to get around the city and take in the sights along the way.
