Mardi Gras World

By Linda Tancs

Located along the Mississippi River, Mardi Gras World is a tourist attraction located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Guests tour the 300,000 square foot working warehouse where hundreds of floats are made for Mardi Gras parades. This all-access opportunity winds you through the massive studio, where artists and architects work year-round building Mardi Gras floats from the ground up. The facility offers a complimentary shuttle for people taking their tour, with stops adjacent to the French Quarter.
