Mardi Gras World
About Mardi Gras World
New Orleans is known for many things, and once of those is of course Mardi Gras - we all know about that amazing festival that happens once a year and draws in thousands of people to celebrate in the city.
But why limit Mardi Gras to just a small period of time, when at Mardi Gras World you can enjoy it every day!
Mardi Gras World offers an authentic Mardi Gras experience year round with fun and colorful tours, which allow you to see firsthand what it takes to bring this iconic festival to life year after year.
You know its going to be a fun tour as soon as you arrive, with colorful Mardi Gras props, like a gigantic jovial jester, fiercely realistic alligators, and a gorgeously exciting Marilyn Monroe with skirt flying greet one and all to this amazing fantasy factory.
As you make your way around the Blaine Kern Studios, which is an operating workshop creating parade incredible floats since 1947, you can really see the level of work that goes into this unique tradition.
You can even view the most awesome floats ever built for carnival - the Orpheus 140-foot triple-tandem sea monster "Leviathan" and the 240-foot quintuple-tandem "Captain Eddie's SS Endymion," with tens of thousands of fiber optic lights - sounds pretty amazing to us!
These 60 minute tours are offered daily, and each tour not only takes you around a display of Mardi Gras costumes, but you can also see a video presentation AND you get a slice of King Cake before you leave!
