The French Quarter offers endless attractions for all ages and interests. The most historic area in a city steeped in history, the French Quarter is the only intact French Colonial and Spanish settlement remaining in the United States.A typical day of sightseeing might start with a stroll along the Mississippi River to the Aquarium of the Americas, where you can then board the John James Audubon Riverboat to the Audubon Zoo. Upon your return, stop in Jackson Square and have your fortune told by one of the many tarot card readers that inhabit this historic meeting place. After dinner, perhaps schedule a Haunted History Tour to see the spookier side of the French Quarter, or head over to Harrah's Casino where you'll find thousands of the newest slots and plenty of exciting table games in a Mardi Gras-themed atmosphere.
