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.

- Lisa GWallkill, NY18 contributionsBreathtaking! We must have walked around for hours. It was a beautiful day, the breeze off the Mighty Mississippi was so refreshing. Don’t miss it!Written 26 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tansy2015Brighton, MI333 contributionsTook the green trolley through the garden district. It took about two hours there and back. $3 pp. worth the trip as you get to see the homes and not worry about the driversWritten 21 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa GWallkill, NY18 contributionsThe best way to travel. The drivers are so nice and knowledgeable, if we weren’t walking we were using the streetcars!Written 26 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dustythoughtsManchester, CT1,809 contributionsThis gorgeous cathedral is in the central hub of New Orleans, right by Jackson Square, and is worth a visit for the breathtaking architecture alone. However, it's also an active place of worship and is a serene place to pause and reflect despite the constant stream of people. I loved the contradictions between a bustling, social city like New Orleans and the peaceful atmosphere within the cathedral. We were sincerely welcomed when we stepped inside and were allowed to stay for as long as we wanted. We paused to inhale a few moments of calm.Written 22 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tansy2015Brighton, MI333 contributionsIt’s the end of the line for the red trolley, so take it to the end and when you get off, you are at the city park, café, Dumond, art museum, and sculpture park. You can spend the whole day here, plan for several hours!Written 21 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jtcancunWarren, MI15 contributionsA must!! Free shuttle from Marriott on canal street. Can get discount through groupon. I personally would not walk there. You would be muddling your way through a freight yard train yard, etc..Written 12 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Donna A6 contributionsThis is a beautifully laid out garden with sculptures of varied types and styles. It is also next to the botanical gardens which makes for a lovely excursion.Written 19 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ModdyinVermontNew Orleans, LA236 contributionsMake sure to spend lots of time in the Audobon Zoo. Lovely animals, and they all ast for you! There is a white alligator, and a trolly if you get tired of walking. Take the boat from the Aquarium dock, then ride back on the St Charles Streetcar.Written 24 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Beautiful scenery.Written 4 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tansy2015Brighton, MI333 contributionsOur first stop was to visit a visitor center to get maps of the city. The gal there said it was the cheapest place to park-$5 dollars per day so we parked our car there as well. It is a good location for a walk around the quarter and 5 or so blocks down you can catch all of the trolleys.Written 18 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mrspanteraalanas21 contributionsWalking distance from my hotel. Easy entrance and exit. Great seats. Lots of cocktail stands. Good sound. Good announcers.

- AMovingMillennial43 contributionsWe came to see the Mermaids when they had presented them. The facility is definitely a treat for the eyes. I think the rate is high though for what you get. Without the mermaids, the usual interactive exhibit is the stingray pool. It's all scenic, makes for good pictures. Entry gave 5 minutes to see the mermaids in the water, another charge to take a photo with one. It's appearance is nice, immersive. Nothing to do outside like others I've been to, but it is a place to check off when visiting New Orleans. It's just the rate for admission that I think is high, spend all day there, get your monies worth. I think the rate for kids and seniors SHOULD be $15, adults $25. That's comparable to what you get, since you're doing all the work of walking. They have a neat treehouse you can stand in, overlook the rainforest type foliage and guests walking under. I heard they closed since our visit and are undergoing renovations and will reopen in the summer of 2023. I hope the rate doesn't increase because then it might be fitting if they add to it.Written 15 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Randy FPinckney, MI920 contributionsWe 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.Written 25 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CES122Canton, MS956 contributionsOld part of NOLA. Long street with pay to park is a must. Walk one hour and walk one hour back. Locals go here. Unique shops.Written 24 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
