Things To Do
French Quarter
The French Quarter is so much more than just Bourbon Street. Spend the day walking around listening to street vendors, amazing street art, gorgeous architecture and delicious food. They offer different tour options or you can spend some time just roaming around. Don't forget to stop by Jackson square to see the historic cathedral and get some yummy beignets
Audubon Zoo
Nola has a great zoo and aquarium, great for all ages!
Saint Charles Streetcar (NORTA Route 12)
The Street Car line is a great way to see the gorgeous St. Charles Ave, all the way to downtown. You can take a ride and look at the stunning houses and beautiful oaks and hop on and off anywhere you would like! There are also amazing restaurants right off the line. The street car is one of our favorite things to do with visitors and Britt even incorporated it into her Bachelorette party! $3 pass for the entire day, a great way to explore some of the city
Swamp Tours New Orleans
Get out of the city and explore some of the best bayous in the country, and if you get lucky enough you may even get to feed a gator some marshmallows!
