The Big Easy 3 Day

Students can enjoy New Orleans too on this student friendly 3 day tour!

Day 1	Audubon Aquarium of the Americas Located on the banks of the Mississippi River in the Historic French Quarter, this is one of the nation's leading aquariums. Over a million gallons of water hold 15,000 aquatic species. Energy IMAX Theatre Enjoy "in your face" entertainment at the Energy IMAX Theatre. Dinner Students may want to try Hard Rock Cafe, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., or the House of Blues (just to name a few). Dixieland Jazz Cruise After dinner, the group can take in a Dixieland jazz cruise aboard an authentic steamboat or paddle-wheeler, where they can see and feel the power and history of the Mississippi River. Cafe du Monde The perfect end to a New Orleans evening is to enjoy a traditional local treat, cafe au lait (coffee heavily laced with milk) and beignets (French doughnuts, without the hole) at the world-famous Cafe du Monde, an open-air cafe located in the heart of the French Quarter. At the back of the cafe your group can even watch the beignets being made through the windows.
Day 2	City Sightseeing Tour Your local guide will meet your motor coach at your hotel to begin your tour of the city including the "cities of the dead," New Orleans' unique above-ground burial system. Riverwalk Marketplace Shop and dine at the Riverwalk Marketplace, a mall devoted to 140 unique shops, push carts, and eateries, with spectacular views of the Mississippi River. Choice of Museum Visit There are too many Museums to see in just one visit to New Orleans. Your group should choose one or two ahead of time such as: the Louisiana Children's Museum, the Musee Conti Wax Museum, the National D-Day Museum, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, or any of the Louisiana State Museums located around the French Quarter (The Presbytere, Madame John's Legacy, the Old U.S. Mint, the 1850 House, or the Cabildo.) Celebration Station Enjoy miniature golf courses, bumper boats, batting cages, go-carts, and more than 100 vide arcade games after dinner.
Day 3	Swamps and Bayous Explore the area outside of New Orleans as you travel through swamps and bayous with a local Cajun guide. Keep your eyes open for alligators, egrets, flora, birds, and more. You may even be able to feed a marshmallow to an alligator! Plantation Home Tour Visit on of the magnificent plantation homes that line the Mississippi River before heading back into New Orleans. You won't want to miss the opportunity to tour one of these national treasures, many of which are National Historic Landmarks. Cajun Music Restaurant Dine on Cajun and Creole specialties and get out on the dance floor to enjoy some Cajun and Zydeco two-stepping. This is a fantastic way to spend your last night in the Crescent City!
