Things To Do

Audubon Zoo

If you would like an activity away from the French Quarter, where you can enjoy the city at a slower pace, we recommend making a trip to the Audubon Zoo. Make sure to get some Roman Candy while you're here!

Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar

A haunted, historic bar just a little off Bourbon Street. Famous for its purple Voodoo Daiquiri and its dimly lit atmosphere, Lafitte's has been serving drinks since the 1700s. Built in 1722, this is the oldest surviving structure in New Orleans. Though not actually the oldest bar in America, it’s ranked as ONE of the oldest. The pirate, Jean Lafitte, and his brother used this location as a base of operations for their smuggling business starting in 1772.

Pat O'Brien's

Visit Pat O's, the birthplace of the famous Hurricane, and enjoy your drink while listening to music at the Dueling Piano Bar!

Marie Laveau's House Of Voodoo

Whether you believe or don't, New Orleans voodoo is everywhere. Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, had powers beyond explanation from healing the sick to bringing wealth to the poor. Her grave is located in St. Louis Cemetery #1, which you’ll need to book a cemetery tour to see, but if you're strolling down Bourbon Street you're likely to see this famous voodoo shop. Careful what you touch, there is a lot of superstition surrounding the altars inside the store!
