I really wasnt impressed with this place.I had been looking forward to trying on costumes but all there was were a few bits and pieces lying on a table next to the coffee machine.It was sooo hot with no air conditioning.even walking around slowly it only took a couple of hours to see everything.i dont think it was worth the... more

Mardi Gras World has now been moved to 1380 Port of New Orleans Pl New Orleans, LA 70130 near the Convention Center. You no longer ride the ferry to Algiers to get there, which might have been part of the fun for some. Still, for those who have never been to Marid Gras, this remains a place to see real... more

We had a great time at Mardi Gras World. We decided to go last minute when we had some extra time, and we're so glad we went. Prices are steep, but well worth it. There were coupons in a tourist guide we had, which made it a little easier on the wallet. Take the free ferry to Algiers. The shuttle... more

When my friend suggested an excursion to Mardi Gras World, I was quick to dismiss the idea. Spending the $18 entrance fee to look at a bunch of clowns and floats was just not appealing to me. However, I was so happy that she convinced me into the fun experience. Be prepared to take some fantastic pictures of these creative... more

I've been to New Orleans many times & never checked out this place until December 2008. What a fun time! There were 3 of us - spouse, elderly mother & me! Take the ferry over to Algeiers & a well identified shuttle appears to give you a lift to Mardi Gras World - roughly 3 blocks from the ferry. The... more

My husband and I went here after reading many of the reviews and after recommendations from friends. We had high expectations but were highly disappointed! We went on a Tuesday (2/10) and some of the Mardi Gras parades were starting that weekend, so there were only a few floats left in the building, and no artists or anything working on... more

We went on a Saturday morning recently and enjoyed it immensely. The ferry across the river is free and Mardi Gras World provides a free shuttle from the ferry landing to the attraction and back again. Now, that's great service. You get Mardi Gras beads with the name of the place on them when you pay admission. So, there's your... more

Take the free ferry ride across the river and hop on the free bus to Mardi Gras World. Before the short video giving you a history lesson of Mardi Gras they allow you to try on some fun costumes and head gear then enjoy some King Cake (not that great compared with king cake we tried at other places) and... more
