New Orleans Family Vacations

Don’t let New Orleans’ reputation for rowdy nightlife fool you — the city has everything families want in an urban vacation. Visit the French Quarter earlier in the day, when children can go park-hopping while parents admire the unique architecture and scout out the best spot for lunch. Or take a kid-friendly walking tour of this vibrant neighborhood to make its history come alive. New Orleans is also notable for its fantastic museums, covering everything from World War II history to art. And don’t depart before sampling the city’s cuisine, from beignets at cafes to fine dining to casual Creole joints. Kid-friendly accommodations in New Orleans are as easy to find as a good meal; choose from opulent luxury hotels to tucked-away cottages full of character.
