Wild ThingsOne of the country's top-ranked zoos, Audubon Zoo lets animals roam freely around innovative, natural-habitat settings featuring subtropical plants, waterfalls, and lagoons. This zoo is home to about 1,800 animals including lions, tigers, bears, sea lions, a family of extremely rare white alligators and the majestic Bengal tigers. Other highlights include live animal presentations, hands-on encounters with animals, the Endangered Species Carousel, Simulator and Swamp Train and the new "Butterflies in Flight" exhibit. Steamin'Experience the sights and sounds of river life that enchanted characters of history and literature - like Mark Twain's Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer aboard the historic Steamboat Natchez. Cruise down the Mississippi River to the delightful tunes of the Steam Calliope as you view breathtaking sights like the Chalmette Battlefield, the French Quarter, Aquarium of the Americas and the Audubon Zoo. Choose from a daytime or dinner/jazz cruise featuring the Dukes of Dixieland. Get Your Scare On
Recommended by The Travel Channel as "The #1 Tour in New Orleans," Haunted History Tours, offers mildly theatrical, hugely historical, and thoroughly entertaining ghost, vampire, voodoo and cemetery tours. Making many television appearances on "America's Most Haunted Places," this company takes you through eerie, chilling, yet fun-filled and educational adventures exploring mysterious sites like French Quarter residences, a vampire tavern, the tomb of Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau and the garden district, where author Anne Rice's home is located. Beat StreetsNew Orleans' oldest neighborhood and main tourist draw, the French Quarter houses nearly all of the city's signature tourist icons. Curiously noted for its Spanish, not French architecture, the Quarter is full of lively sounds and spaces. Expect live music, open-air bars and street performers on the strip between Bourbon and Decatur Streets and shop at the French Market, four colorful canopy-covered blocks selling anything and everything from fruits to desiccated alligator heads. Look also for the Historic Voodoo Museum and Voodoo Spiritual Temple to get your mojo going. Float OnGet the Mardi Gras spirit year-round at Mardi Gras World. Take a look behind the magic of Mardi Gras in this carnival showcase with thousands of sensational sculptured props and breathtaking giant figures on display. See artists building floats, take your picture with King Kong, Marilyn Monroe and the giant Bacchsaurus and view the biggest floats ever built for the carnival like the 240-foot quintuple-tandem "Captain Eddie's S.S. Endymion," with thousands of fiber optic lights. Wax The Story
A must see in New Orleans, The Musée Conti Historical Wax Museum tells the fascinating story of New Orleans from her founding to the present day. Founded in 1964, "The WAX" brings to -almost- life more than 300 years of history, legend and scandal with its 154 life-size figures displayed in historically accurate settings. The Musée Conti also features a haunted dungeon. Food-La-LaA casually-chic place to dine, The Marigny Brasserie is New Orleans' best kept secret. This cozy restaurant offers one of New Orleans most creative and eclectic menus featuring fried green tomatoes served with Louisiana lump crabmeat salad, three citrus aioli and house sugarcane vinaigrette and the crispy leg of duck confit served on Gouda grits with onion marmalade, haricot verts and a duck au jus. Brunch is also served Saturdays and Sundays. Make-A-FishOne of the top 50 seafood restaurants in the U.S., Deanie's Seafood has been serving some of the best fried and boiled seafood in New Orleans since 1961. This great eatery is the "Home of the Giant Seafood Platter," a succulent feast loaded with fried oysters, shrimp, catfish, soft-shell crabs and crawfish balls. Other finger-licking specialties include the crabmeat ravioli, stuffed flounder, crabmeat au gratin and fried artichoke hearts. Spice It Up
Recognized throughout the world as the King of Cajun Dine and Dance halls, Mulate's features live Cajun music and dancing along with great authentic Cajun food. Try their mild specialties or sinus clearing creations including grilled and fried alligator, stuffed mushrooms, crawfish etouffee, seafood platter with gumbo and the famous Catfish Mulate - etouffee, jambalaya and corn macque choux all on one plate. Put out the fire with Mulate's Amber, their house-made draft, or Dixie's Blackened Voodoo. Wear your dancing shoes, the regular dancers love to teach customers Cajun Dancing 101. |
