Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This museum gave us the opportunity to learn about the generation that fought in the war because it was the right thing to do. We had a teen in our group and this museum does a great job leveraging the senses to help learn - reading, videos, and service men sharing their personal stories. It's
    versatile and diverse in the way the story is shared from Pearl Harbor to WWII.

    The best way to travel. The drivers are so nice and knowledgeable, if we weren’t walking we were using the streetcars!

    Very impressed with the self tour. We got to sample 3 small drinks while touring inside and found it to be very enjoyable! We actually learned some interesting history as well.

    We flew in from Michigan to see John Mellencamp last night. He was fantastic as usual. We loved the theater, beautiful. Sound was excellent. Seeing shows in classic theaters is so much more enjoyable than the new places.

    We went to daily Mass at this church, tucked into the edge of the French Quarter just on the other side of Canal Street - just across the street from the Roosevelt Hotel. Perfect way to start the day with the 7:30am daily mass during the week.

    I thought this would be a yawn. That's the jaded part of me. However, I was enthralled by the variety and beauty of the collection I found here. The day we were there the museum was hosting a Martin Luther King special event which made the museum especially lively - and crowded. I would like to return when I can fully soak in the art.

    We stopped at Harrahs casino to gamble for a while. We drive a truck and we’re not able to park in their garage as the height limit was 6’6” and our truck is over 7’. We had to go find parking somewhere else and walk to casino. We did have a good time playing. You can order drinks straight from machines. As long as you’re playing drinks are free. There’s a large variety of slot games. A few table games. Would definitely recommend

    This is a small museum founded by aging survivors of the Confederate Army at the turn of 20th century. It is small but contains some interesting original items. The most impressive exhibits, at least to me, was several extremely well preserved officers uniforms that looked like they just left the tailor's shop. The museum is well located in the revitalizing warehouse district of New Orleans with many parking options. It is worth a side trip from the nearby World War II museum.

    We went to the Pelicans vs Hornets game while we were in town for Spring Break. Our seats were purchased last minute but in a great location. Easy to navigate around the arena. Cheerleaders were nice and took a picture with my daughter. Everyone enjoyed the game and my oldest son was happy to be there for Ingram’s first career triple double!

    I discovered this little gem on my recent trip to NOLA while at the mall. Just one taste of the hurricane frozen smoothie, and I was hooked. I returned 2 days straight to get one. If I had checked luggage, I definitely would have brought a couple bottles of the hurricane mix back home. I wanted to have them shipped but, the shipping price is crazy expensive. Next time, I'm checking my luggage to bring some home. The customer service was great and I'll definitely be back on my next trip.

    I was happy to find this place near my hotel so I could walk to Mass from there. The building has striking architecture, and the inside is quite beautiful as well. There are some nice shrines, and the blue/green stained glass dome above the altar is very beautiful. The service had some of the more traditional liturgical trappings. There is also a nice little courtyard out back, where they had some coffee and mingling, along with a St. Joseph's altar (as I was there during that feast day).

    We had a great time. The four of us managed to escape with 9 seconds left. It was not simple but that’s what we were looking for. Neisha was a great guide. Would recommend.

    It’s a massive w convention centre that is about 10 to 15 minute walk from the downtown area. Beside the Riverwalk shopping area.

    The Museum of the southern Jewish Experience gives a unique perspective on colonisation and evolution of Southern culture. It does not shy away from addressing issues of slave ownership but every exhibit is well thought out, balanced and informative.

    my Wife & I are Roman Catholic and we also learnt a lot about the Jewish traditions that we had neither appreciated or in some cases understood.

    A most excellent 2 hours.
