New Orleans Travel Articles

Over the years, New Orleans has developed into a top-notch family destination. There’s quite literally something for everyone here, and plenty to keep young minds and attention spans engaged.

Museum visits in New Orleans won’t solicit the collective groan that you might be used to hearing from your family in other cities. That’s because New Orleans is home to kid-friendly, far-from-ordinary museums like the Louisiana Children’s Museum, House of Broel’s Dollhouse Museum and Musée Conti Wax Museum.

Other fail-safe family options can be found at the Audubon Zoo, which holds more than 1,500 animals, and the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, acclaimed as one of the best aquariums in North America. The nearby Entergy IMAX® Theatre is another riveting experience for kids with its spectacular larger-than-life films on various aspects of nature.

Or take the gang to Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World, where visitors have a year-round opportunity to see the glitz and glamour of Mardi Gras floats and the work that goes into creating them.

Families rarely encounter a dull moment in the Crescent city – a place where learning and playing come together to create fun family entertainment.
