6. Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World

This Mardi Gras workshop extravaganza is an historical museum and one of the world's largest float builders. Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World is located in Algiers, one of the oldest parts of the city. The company houses a museum with a fun, interactive tour, and visitors learn about the magic of Mardi Gras. At the end of the guided section, you can even dress up in costumes and recieve a King Cake. One of the best gift shops in town, too!   (© 10Best)

Tour the place where Mardi Gras is made, and watch as artists create Mardi Gras masterpieces. After you look at the floats (they produce more than 500 each year), check out the gift shop for beads, trinkets, and posters relating to Mardi Gras. They even offer a cooking school.
