It's very cool.

This was an overpriced experience. The tour has a 15 minute video on the history of Mardi Gras and each guest is given a slice of king cake. Then you walk through the warehouse to view the artisan work areas and old props.

The museum and staff inside were wonderful since we are traveling with a service dog. They called their free shuttle for us and our experience went down hill from there. He immediately said no dogs and when we said it was a service dog we were asked for papers, even though he is labeled service dog and told shuttle was private property he didn't have to transport us. My husband reminded him as a service dog he is protected under federal law. The driver did eventually take us to first stop and on way said he was allergic to dogs. We said if you are allergic you can pull over and we will walk as we want to be respectful to you. He continued to first stop complaining and going faster than he should.

Parking near the Mardi gras world is not free. It's owned by a convention center nearby. The parking fee without re-entry is $15 and with multiple entries upto 24hrs is $30. You could park little far away on the roadside for lesser fee. It would be about 10 min walk
