This was our first time going to Mardi Gras World. It was great to see the float pieces and read the history of the parade and the various floats. We were able to watch some of the engineers working on this year's floats. It was a lot of fun.

It’s okay. Fun to see the floats but wouldn’t pay full price. Getting the king cake in the beginning without forks or a comfortable place to eat it was weird.

Loved the Float Museum! There was something for everyone in our family. We loved talking to the artist creating the floats. Go! It really was one of the highlights of our New Orleans trip.

Loved it! Really appreciated the shuttle. The driver was very nice, informative, and personable. King's cake to start set the mood and was a very nice touch. The video helped us understand what we were about to see. The floats were literally awe-inspiring. It was so fun to see them work. Highly recommend.
