4.2(371)Free5 mi · Old Metairie

I cannot recommend this venue for family activities with children. Despite the description provided, Metairie Small Animal Hospital is actually a veterinary clinic, not a park. This is a medical facility for pets, offering 24-hour emergency and routine veterinary care for animals, not a recreational destination for families.
