  We found Mardi Gras World to be interesting. It was quit a short tour, but you do get to mingle around and take photos and see how Mardi Gras props are made. One visit was enough for us.

  This is a must if you like to see new things. I would advise not to drive to this place. Parking is not free and it is at the Port of New Orleans. The shuttle is free and they picked us up about 10 minutes after we called. You have to be in Downtown if you want to ride the shuttle. The tour guide was very friendly.You could try on costumes, watch a short film about Madi Gras and then..eat King Cake! That The tour starts and you are able to see people working on new floats for next years Madi Gras. You can take as many photos as you like, but just do not use the flash int he work room because people are working on ladders and with saws. Once the tour is over, you are free to roam and take your time looking up close to the floats. We will never be in town for Madi Gras, so this was the next best thing.

  We had so much fun exploring the float-filled warehouse at our leisure and of course the costumes and King Cake only added to the fun! It felt like we were kids again :) Check out our post for more, including some awesome photos too!http://mrandmrsadventure.com/2015/03/11/3-tours-you-cant-miss-when-in-new-orleans/

  I thought this was a little pricey for what you got, but it was definitely interesting to see. Having not been able to come to New Orleans during Mardi Gras, it does give you a sense of what happens. They start with a video that shows the history of the floats and how the figures are made. This was very informative and kept your interest throughout. After the movie you get to try the "king cake." This was tasty, though they didn't spend a lot of time explaining how this fit with the Mardi Gras experience. Then it's on to the workshop area. This could have been very fascinating and I would have loved to have spent more time. Unfortunately we were on a tour with a lot of children, and I think they pushed it along a little faster. There were people working on float pieces which was neat to watch. I had no idea how the pieces were made so it was quite fascinating. After the workshop you are left on your own to explore around the warehouse. There are many pieces to look at; although in the dingy warehouse setting everything looks a little shabbier than expected. But I guess it's to be expected; these pieces are in storage awaiting reuse or refurbishing as something else. We took the shuttle from canal street which was easy - except the pick up place is not marked. Based on the map the hotel gave me, I asked a street vendor and they said to just wait on the edge of the street where I was. It did work. We had to wait longer than I would have expected for a return shuttle, but it did come and was free which is really nice.

  到新奥尔良旅游的必去之地!!我们看到了他们为今年狂欢节做得道具,很喜欢。很惊讶,他们也为其他人做,比如Chick-fil-a。

  我和家人已经去新奥尔良玩过好多次了,但是这次去Mardi Gras World的时候我们还是玩得好开心。我们发现去这里面看制作漂浮的东西和角色的过程是非常有趣的,如果你是第一次来玩、想了解Mardi Gras狂欢节的话,那来这里就没错了,你可以见到打扮成各种各样角色的人,也可以看许多不同的游行队伍(是的,游行队伍不止一个!),还能了解到这个狂欢节的历史,所以说尽快存钱来这里玩吧。接送的大巴非常方便,我们都玩得很开心。

  Mardi Gras World is a bit far from the French Quarter, but they have a convenient free shuttle service. They can come pick you up after a quick call to them, and then once you're there, you can play with some Mardi Gras outfits and take pictures, then watch a historical movie about the celebrations, and then your tour guide will take you around the warehouse to see the floats and decorations (some are really elaborate!). I love that after the tour, you can walk around by yourself and take pictures, and then the shuttle will take you back. I'm not sure exactly where their stops are, but they have a few around town. They won't come exactly to you like a Supershuttle does, but we still found it very convenient.

  和太太来狂欢世界游玩。很便宜,花了15分钟装扮,接着看了20分钟关于狂欢节的影片,然后用15分钟来逛仓库。所有的狂欢项目都很有趣,但是装扮是骗人的,我发现这是让游行持续一小时的办法。影片也没有那么多的信息量,我肯定我能在网上找到同样的信息。仓库还不错,但制造工艺流程不是那么有趣罢了。省下你的钱吧,给小费或者在法国街上买个CD。可以听线长爵士表演,看一些左摇右摆的舞蹈。表演者绝对值得这些钱。咖啡斑猫的现场表演的爵士音乐“Shotgun”,简直太棒了

  Wow, truly amazing to see how the props for the Mardi Gras floats are made. Warehouse and working shop. Great tour by former worker. Must see if in New Orleans
