SandyIsRetired Posted August 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Will be spending three days post cruise in NOLA with a 7 year old and a 13 year old. What do you recommend to do there with them? We'll be staying at a French Quarter hotel with no vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swscruiser Posted August 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2016 The aquarium and maybe a ghost tour and a horse driven carriage ride. Airboat ride swamp tour. There is also a zoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyIsRetired Posted August 27, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thanks for the ideas. The aquarium is out since that's what we're doing in Boston pre-cruise! I'll definitely investigate the rest of your suggestions. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeagoingMom Posted August 27, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2016 My family, with our 5 boys, had a great time on the sternwheeler Natchez. Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral were quaint and beautiful. We enjoyed Audubon Park -- lovely, and great for running around (climbing trees, too...) There is also a zoo, butterfly garden and insectarium there. We also very much enjoyed taking the trolley into the Garden District; the Botanical Gardens in City Park are there. Also check out the Louisiana Children's Museum. :) The WWll Museum is very well done, though perhaps your children are a bit young for it...

Thanks for your response with more ideas for the three days in NOLA. I so appreciate it. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
