The ‘Big Easy,’ as it’s fondly known, is a cultural gumbo of distinctive architecture, cool jazz, and celebrated cuisine. From second-line parades to centuries-old streetcars, this timeless city offers something amazing around every cobblestone corner. Enjoy a stroll through the oldest and most famous area of the city, the French Quarter, and stop at the historic Café du Monde for delicious, powdered sugar-covered beignets and café au lait.

For traditional New Orleans cuisine with a spectacular city view, meet at the Riverfront to take a brunch or dinner jazz cruise down the mighty Mississippi River. Take a cooking class for a more hands-on culinary experience and learn how to make specialty New Orleans dishes at any level.

For New Orleans culture, head to the Garden District for a glimpse into Mardi Gras at Mardi Gras World, the largest float design facility in the world where colorful displays and costumes are created. Take a ride down the historic avenue on the St. Charles Streetcar and see the distinguished homes and landmarks. While Uptown, visit The Audubon Zoo, a New Orleans landmark with 58 acres of animals in their natural habitats. The zoo offers engaging educational programs and hands-on animal encounters.
