HISTORY has transformed a 5,600 square foot in Chelsea Market into a south Louisiana swamp experience featuring over 6,500 gallons of water, live alligators and red-eared turtles, 15 feet tall live cypress trees, and over 1,000 live plants indigenous to the region.
At Swamp in the City you can meet the cast of Swamp People, check out live alligators, sample free Cajun favorites such as Gumbo and Crawfish Étouffée by renowned Cajun Chef John Folse, listen to live music from Sac Au Lait, and have a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to Louisiana, courtesy of LousianaTravel.com.
After 8:30pm every night, the lights are turned off to help the gators acclimate to NYC, as they require complete darkness.
