Louisiana Children's Museum

Named by Zagat in 2004 as the best attraction for child appeal, the Louisiana Children's Museum is the city's best bet for family fun. The 30,000-square-foot museum is located in the heart of New Orleans' Business District.

Attractions allow kids to pilot a towboat, shop around the miniature Winn-Dixie grocery store, role-play in a five-star café, trap your shadow, and more.
