With lots of outdoor music and beignets as a breakfast staple, NOLA is surprisingly kid-friendly. A dreamy day in the Good Housekeeping 2024 Family Travel Award-winner starts with a trolley ride from your hotel to City Park. That’s where your fam can have the warm, airy powdered sugar-topped treats at Café du Monde. Tip: It’s far less crowded than its French Quarter location. From there it’s just a short walk across the greenspace to the newish Louisiana Children’s Museum, whose original location was flooded by Hurricane Katrina. Both the indoor and outdoor exhibits are creative and reflect the community — for instance, instead of the typical play space supermarket, there’s a Creole Kitchen.
After lunch, walk to another City Park landmark: the New Orleans Museum of Art. While older kids will want to explore the collection — a wonderful sampler of many kinds of art — little ones may be content meandering in the free outdoor sculpture garden. You can catch impromptu jazz performances on the street, or make a reservation for Preservation Hall, a music venue that allows kids. End the night with an all-ages, stroller-friendly Ghosts of New Orleans walking tour. You’ll visit famous haunted locations in the French Quarter, but it’s not scary. Stay at ONE11, one of the newest hotels in the French Quarter. Once a sugar mill, it has an appealing vibe, a convenient location and, most importantly, a pool.
