Visiting New Orleans during Mardi Gras with small children is not recommended, however during other times of the year you can visit Mardi Gras World, just a ferry ride across the Mississippi from Canal St. This warehouse and float builder is a place for you to try on costumes and masks as well as view enormous sculptures used in celebrations past. Check out the Audubon Insectarium, Aquarium and New Orleans Zoo while you are visiting the Big Easy. There are also many “haunting tours” for those not faint of heart.Just take a stroll and recognize some familiar places from recent and classic Hollywood films sure as Fantastic Four, Green Lantern and A Streetcar Named Desire. Be sure to take in a jazz or zydeco show at one of the many music venues. Jackson Square, a plaza in the heart of the French Quarter, is a fun spot for families to explore.
