Mardi Gras World

If you are interested in doing something that is completely unique to New Orleans, then Mardi Gras World is at the top of the list! 

Do you ever wonder where the articulate floats from the parades come from, or how they are created?  You will find the answer to those musings and more... where they are actually made, housed, and restored each year.

This is fun for the entire family!  Visitors will receive a plethora of information through both video and tour guides, may try on costumes and pose for photographs, eat King Cake, and tour the enormous warehouse, where artists may actually be viewed at work.

And there is even free transportation from various locations!  This is a must-do!
