You’ll begin your day at the WWII Museum by receiving a dog tag and boarding a “train.” For the rest of your visit, you’ll get updates on your soldier’s story and eventually learn if they survived the war.

The museum takes you through two highly immersive exhibits: The Road to Tokyo (about the Pacific theater) and The Road to Berlin (about the European theater). You can also catch a 4D movie and exhibits about the homefront and Normandy.

Cafe du Monde is a famous open-air cafe in the French Quarter near Jackson Square. The cafe dates back to 1862 and makes a visitor feel as if they’ve been transported to the streets of Paris.

A delicious lunch spot and best bloody mary's!

The Country Club isn’t your typical country club: it’s an offbeat, LGBTQ-friendly, counterculture hangout spot for adults. It’s got both a delicious restaurant and a backyard courtyard and pool.

If you’re a solo adult looking to meet people or a couple looking to cool off, head to the backyard for a dip and a cocktail. Enjoy the pool scene of Miami mixed with the open-minded acceptance of New Orleans.

The New Orleans Botanical Garden at City Park, dating back to 1936, can be enjoyed year-round.

Learn about medicine from times gone by at this quirky establishment. The New Orleans Pharmacy Museum in the French Quarter is a quirky little establishment that will appeal to lovers of the eclectic or grotesque.

It actually pairs quite nicely with the Sazerac House due to the shared history of medicine and cocktails. They occasionally host live music in their historic courtyard.

The Voodoo Museum in the French Quarter is small and dusty, but it’s probably unlike anything you’ve seen before or will see again.

A few of the artifacts, like a mummified cat, may impact sensitive visitors or kids. But most visitors will be delighted to learn more about the mysteries of Voodoo, zombies, and gris-gris. You can pass through the museum in an hour or so if you’ve got a busy day lined up in New Orleans.
