Cemetery Voodoo Tour Description
While you may be fascinated by the wide variety of architectural styles, from Gothic to Italianate to Greek Revival, the kids will probably be most keen on touring the Cities of the Dead, the famous cemeteries with their above-ground tombs, required because New Orleans' location below sea level makes underground burial forbidden. There's no question that the popular Cemetery Voodoo Tour is the one teens will beg you to sign up for. Historic New Orleans Tours, run by a local historian, offers both the Garden District and the Cemetery Voodoo Tour.
Kid Tips
Babies: The cemetery tour is not for babies unless you use a front or backpack; the ground is rough and there are too many narrow aisles for strollers.
Toddlers & Pre-K: The cemetery tour isn't for little kids; loose stones to trip over, too many ants and bugs -- and too scary!
Pre-Teens & Teens: The cemetery voodoo tour will be THE hit of the trip for the 12-and-up set. Shopaholics will require that you leave time for a cruise down Magazine Street, with its trendy boutiques.
Planning Notes
- Bring an umbrella. Tours leave rain or shine, so be prepared.
- Wear comfortable shoes. You'll be covering a lot of ground.
