Join Us for NOLAween at Mardi Gras World!
October 1-31st, 2020
We’re celebrating the Halloween season by bringing out our Halloween props in 15 autumn scenes for you to interact, photograph, and make Halloween memories with.
The artistically created display is included as part of your tour admission. In addition, children can take part in a scavenger hunt and receive a Halloween treat when complete, sponsored by Zapp’s chips.
It’s a family-friendly, socially-distanced event. Face masks are required, but you are welcome to arrive in costume!
