Fun for Families in New Orleans: What's New!
While our nightlife is legendary, New Orleans-style fun takes all kinds of family-friendly shapes, too. New Orleans is, after all, a living museum, a never-ending concert and a citywide block party to which all kids (and kids at heart) are invited.
It’s a place to explore sounds, flavors, sights and stories that spark every imagination. It’s
the home of world-calibre museums, the Audubon Zoo (ranked one of the best in the nation), the Audubon Insectarium (which has 900,000+ known species of insects and their relatives), hundreds of acres of parks and preserves, loads of gourmet kids' menus and so much more. It’s where the whole family can share in authentic fun, born of New Orleans’ rich cultural heritage, appreciation for the fantastic and recognition of the child in all of us.
You see, our haunted houses and pirate dens are real; those aren’t mechanical alligators on our swamp cruise; and our rides include streetcars, horse-drawn carriages and riverboat paddlewheelers. So come enjoy the fun – New Orleans style – and bring the whole family!
