Bayou

The Bayou exhibit recreates the swamps and wetlands of Mississippi's delta region, home to American alligators, turtles, and native freshwater fish. Spanish moss, cypress trees, and authentic swamp sounds create an immersive bayou experience.

Mississippi's wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in North America, providing critical habitat for wildlife and serving as natural flood buffers. The exhibit educates visitors about wetland conservation and the ecological importance of these often-misunderstood environments.
