Janet Williams: Such a gem! We loved the exhibits: Keith Duncans HBCU portraits were joyful and beautiful, Benny Andrews was a revelation, Hoa Tay (Flower Hands) was thought provoking and the images of New Orleans from the permanent collection gave us new insight into the creative history of a great American city. The Ogden is everything a local museum should be:a space for new voices, old voices with new perspectives and a beautiful space that fosters our imagination and dispels labels and eschews stereotypes. This was an afternoon well spent.
Debbie M: I love this museum! Wonderful exhibits! Last week I went 2 days in a row because I spent hours just on the 3rd floor my first day there. My visit began with a wonderful demonstration of their Aeolian organ on the 3rd floor. Surround sound from the roaring twenties! Very cool. Then I explored various exhibits about the history, people and traditions of New Orleans. Admission is free, just check in to get a ticket. Do not miss their wonderful gift shop next door!
Christina Gonzalez: Parents be READY $$$ but extremely fun 1 race is 12 laps ! Buying the membership is optimal. 5 races is best offer $$ wise they can split the races up in several trips.
zaetna . .: Absolutely INCREDIBLE experience. Amazing history highlight tragedy and celebration!! Loved seeing the vintage mardi gras costumes so well preserved. Definitely a must visit for New Orlean’s extensive history, it’s worth the money.
I reserved tickets in advance for my trip and was sold a faulty one, the worker at the front desk was nice and let me in to see the museum regardless.
陳愛玉: The Moonwalk Riverfront Park is a really nice place to take a stroll along the Mississippi River. Its a well-maintained walkway that offers lovely views of the water and the city skyline, including the impressive Crescent City Connection bridge.
I particularly enjoyed watching the various boats and ships passing by, including some large steel boats, which was quite interesting to see. The park provides a great vantage point to observe the bustling maritime activity on the Mississippi.
The park is conveniently located near many other attractions, such as the French Quarter and Jackson Square, making it a great addition to any itinerary. If youre looking for a peaceful escape with some interesting sights,
Lori: Great art museum not too far from home. Very sweet lady gave us a tour. She was knowledgeable and also patient with all of my kids’ questions. Beautiful pieces and interesting history. No entry fee. Worth a visit.
Olivia: Incredibly cool free (donations accepted) museum with passionate and kind staff. Its essentially a frozen in time "time capsule" experience, that gives you an interesting way to look back at 1940s America. Their collection and variety of items is very impressive. This is definitely worth a visit.
Nick Bibbee: This was a pleasant little stop. A Geocache brought us here after a nearby plane competition.
It seemed to be well maintained, bathrooms were clean, the lake was pretty, and the ducks were plentiful.
The animal mention takes a big change inside the place because during office hours, there are alligators inside to view!!! But wait, theres more!! If youre fortunate enough to be there when there is enough staff, you might get to pet, or even hold, a real live baby gator!!!
The staff was very friendly and informative. Passing through the area? Make this 1 of your pit stops!
