The center itself is a typical National Park Service center - there are some displays, rangers of varying helpfulness (some are truly wonderful), and a short film. It is worth a short visit. We arrived in time for the morning walking tour. Though it was interesting, it was more of a lecture than a walking tour. Most of the tour... more
The main Visitor Center of Jean Lafitte NHPP in the French Quarter tries to cover a lot of ground. It has exhibits on the geography of New Orleans, the cultures of the bayou and the Battle of New Orleans. This big mission made the exhibit in the VC hard to follow, but it was still packed with good historical information.... more
The French Quarter Walking Tour sponsored by the NPS is NOT of the French Quarter. Because of complaints from private tour companies, this tour only walks along the Mississippi River and looks at statues and monuments. Our guide had a speech impediment, which made listening extremely difficult. Further, he even taught us a derogative term for Italian Americans. Overall, this... more
This National Park comprises several locations. We visited two. The first was the Exhibition space on Decatur Street in NOLA. This place is right by the gumbo restaurants, cafes, daquiri bars and tat-rack shops of the French Quarter. We took the free 9am walking tour with a Park Ranger. We followed the recommendation of previous contributors and arrived early as... more
As usual, the National Park Service does an outstanding job of presenting the history of the French Quarter in an hour and a half walking tour of the French Quarter. It is free and the park ranger is informative as you stroll down the lovely streets. Only 25 tickets are issued a day, so arrive early. more
There are actually 6 sites around Louisiana that comprise the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. I visited the French Quarter visitor center [--] on Decatur street and took an excellent FREE guided walking tour of the historical sites around the French Quarter. Jim, the NPS ranger, was an excellent guide with a very friendly demeanor. I think I... more
friendly and helpful ranger at the visitor center pointed us in the right direction to the boardwalk complete with alligators, lizards, frogs, owls, and beautiful swampland. bring bug repellent and water to drink, and enjoy the peace! more
A lovely boardwalk almost 2 miles through the various stages of a Louisiana swamp. An easy, pleasant stroll, with a good chance of spotting wildlife. We saw rabbits, egrets, and an alligator, surprisingly active for February. This is a great break from fighting the crowds in the French Quarter. more
