All aboard!! Hitch a ride on the Steamboat Natchez Riverboat and cruise around the Toulouse Street Wharf harbor and the Mississippi River to see the city's attractions from the water. The cruises are accompanied by a jazz band, "Dukes of Dixieland" and food is available for hungry passengers.
The Louisiana Children's Museum’s 30,000 square feet of exhibit space and programs offer children a diverse set of activities that promote learning from reading and math skills to architectural ideas and the nuances of grocery shopping – through interactive play. Whether they are learning what bones they use to ride a bike, alongside Mr. Bones or loading up a cargo ship in the Little Port of New Orleans exhibit, children take an active role in their own learning.
