Carousel Gardens & Storyland
Kids will love these charmingly dated theme parks. The centerpiece of Carousel Gardens is a restored antique carousel, housed in a 1906 structure with a stained-glass cupola. In the 1980s, residents raised around US$1.2 million to restore the broken animals, fix the squeaky merry-go-round and replace the Wurlitzer organ. The results are naturally spectacular. Other rides on the grounds include a small roller coaster, a tilt-a-whirl, bumper cars and the City Park Rail Rd is boarded here.

Each year on New Years Day, the Sugar Bowl is played here and the New Orleans Saints play their home games in the Superdome each fall.
