Aquarium of the Americas – 1 day

Hailed as one of the best aquariums in the United States, the Aquarium of the Americas is home to sea otters, rockhopper penguins, and a rare white alligator.  We will also get a chance to see a show in the IMAX theater.

City Park – 1 day

Home to Storyland, athletic facilities, and the Botanical Gardens, City Park is an important part of life in New Orleans.  With a limited staff, they rely heavily on volunteers to assist them in their post-Katrina recovery efforts.

Local Flavor – 2 days

We always leave a couple of days open so that you can choose activities that interest the group.  Options include the Voodoo Museum, Audubon Zoo, and Woldenberg Riverfront Park.  Come experience Cajun life in the Crescent City.

Traveling Circus – 2 days

That’s what we will look like on our travel days to and from New Orleans.  This time is very valuable to the group as it gives them some time to get to know each other on the way down and catch up on their reading or sleep on the way back.
