Laissez les bons temps rouler!

New Orleans is all about letting the good times roll! But that doesn’t mean the youngsters have to be left out of the fun — there are plenty of family-friendly activities for your whole crew in The Big Easy. Check out a few of our top picks below, and make time in your AAPA Summer Meeting schedule (remember, lectures end by or before 4:30 pm each day)!

Hop on a historic streetcar! Do you desire to see the city from a new point of view? Jump aboard one of four streetcar lines that pass through the downtown area. Prefer to explore via the Mighty Mississippi? Check out a riverboat cruise!

	Enjoy some delicious beignets! This tasty treat is sure to please family members of all ages! You can’t go wrong pairing them with a steaming cup of chicory coffee from the world-famous Café du Monde (first opened in 1862, there are now 10 locations in the area!).

Dive in at Audobon Aquarium! Get up close and personal with some of the sea’s cutest creatures! Consistently voted one of the country’s top aquariums, the Audobon Aquarium will transport you to an underwater world with more than 3,600 animals — kids and kids at heart alike will love it!

	Visit one of the city’s many museums! Peek behind the scenes of the city’s biggest celebration at Mardi Gras World. There are also plenty of hands-on activities and exhibits at Louisiana Children’s Museum. Or, dance through NOLA’s musical history at the Jazz Museum.

Explore the massive City Park! You are bound to get your steps in here — there are 1,300 acres of fun, making it one of the largest urban parks in the U.S.! City Park is home to botanical gardens, an arboretum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Children’s Museum, 800-year-old oak trees, an amusement park, and much more!
