Field Trips

Bring your school group to Mardi Gras World, where they can learn about New Orleans history and culture through the wonder of Mardi Gras. Stand in awe as you watch our artists painting and sculpting right before your eyes. Our tour highlights the history of Mardi Gras and showcases the art, giving a unique glimpse into the past and present of this incredible tradition. Come witness the process that makes Mardi Gras the greatest free show on Earth.

Our hour-long tour gives visitors an insider’s view of how Mardi Gras is made and includes a video on the history of Mardi Gras. Take the opportunity to dress like a Mardi Gras float rider. Come get a behind-the-scenes look as we build our props and floats for next year’s parades.

Mask-Making

Explore the artistic side of Mardi Gras! This one-hour activity allows groups grades 4 and above the opportunity to create a Mardi Gras mask to take home. Each participant will be given one mask, glitter, and anything else needed to decorate their one-of-a-kind Carnival creation. This can be added as an additional hour experience to your tour.
