Planning to visit New Orleans with kids in tow? There are great options for visiting New Orleans with a baby. It may look different than the days of walking down Bourbon Street<\/a> with a beverage in hand. Having a toddler on your trip to New Orleans does change things. However, with one day to spend in New Orleans, we got to do activities for both the kids and the adults to have fun! Here’s how to spend one day in New Orleans with kids! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

One Day in New Orleans with Kids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We arrived in New Orleans with not much of a plan except trying to do some wandering around, (like the last time<\/a>) seeing some street performers and eating at Cafe du Monde! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon arrival we asked the concierge at at the hotel and he told us the three most popular activities for kids are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) The Cool Zoo<\/a> a fun water park at the Audubon Zoo<\/a>, with water features and a lazy river!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) The Aquarium<\/a>– right on the Mississippi River, the Audubon Aquarium has a huge array of sea animals on view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Storyland<\/a>– a sculpture park\/playground with scenes from classic tales and nursery rhymes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we had recently been to the aquarium and zoo<\/a> in our hometown of Guadalajara (and they are $$$) we decided on Storyland<\/a> as our kid-centered activity. We decided to visit Storyland in the morning and leave the French Quarter for the afternoon post nap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

City Park New Orleans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We had a quick breakfast at a diner down the street from the hotel and then drove to City Park<\/a>. The park is huge and we could tell that there was a lot of exploring to do there, but we had limited time and a destination so we went directly to Storyland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In sum, Little Boy absolutely loved it! It was story book characters and structures that he could walk in\/on\/over. (We also realized that he doesn’t know very many classic fairy tales yet so we need to get on that!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I had to do it again, I would probably have us read the books that are represented in Story Land. Here are just some examples, if you want to do the same:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
