Most of the kids are out of school now and it’s time to start thinking about what you do to keep them busy before you hear the dreaded “I’m bored” whine coming out of their little mouths. With so many fun things to do in the New Orleans area, there’s something on this list for everyone.
If you are new to town, it’s a great way to explore your new city, even with the kids in tow.
