Unless you are specifically coming to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, there is no place other than Mardi Gras World to give you a first hand experience of the famous Big Easy holiday. Blain Kern's attraction affords you a behind the scenes look at the warehouses where the parade floats are conceived and constructed. Procure a tour guide, and gain valuable insight into the technology and artistry behind floats like the King Kong and Bacchasaurus. Mardi Gras World hosts conventions, birthday parties, concerts and occasionally weddings. If your group is large enough, you can enroll in their Mardi Gras mask making classes.
