Mardi Gras World Tours
All the magic of Mardi Gras.
All yours in Mardi Gras World.
As any local will tell you, there are certain essential things to experience in New Orleans. One is Mardi Gras, the most unique expression of our culture and spirit. And there’s no Mardi Gras experience like Mardi Gras World.
A tour of Mardi Gras World is truly magical. Because Mardi Gras World is literally the place where Mardi Gras magic is made. Nowhere else can you watch the artists of Blaine Kern Studios—the world-renowned masters of Carnival sculpture and floatbuilding—at work in their shops, weaving spells of wonder.
Walk among towering figures of fantasy. Marvel at the skill and technology that animate mega-floats. Acquire an insider’s appreciation of the history and traditions of Carnival. Take home Mardi Gras memories you’ll cherish forever.
And now we offer one of the only dining areas in the city with a view of the Mississippi River! Come for a tour and stay for lunch in our new Mardi Gras World Café.
Mardi Gras World. For the whole family. Magic you can see, feel and make your own.
