Great way to learn about Mardi Gras in NOLA
A friend recommended a trip to Mardi Gras World, and it was fantastic. In addition to a ~30 minute guided tour, you can wander around on your own. We spent about 2 hours looking at floats, watching Pixie and the various craftspeople in action. Definitely worth a visit! Even if you have to take a cab or rideshare. Plan ahead tho, there are few dining/drinking options in the area.

Fun Morning Out
The building is a wharehouse. Tickets can be purchased on line or on arrival. First of all one is shown a film of the history of Mardi Gras, very informative. Then they give everyone a piece of king cake. We joined a tour which was taking much too long so decided to leave the organised tour and walk around ourselves which was more or less the same only not so slow. There is a gift shop at the end of the tour.
