New Year's Eve Activities for Families
New Year’s Eve is not just for grownups – not even in New Orleans. Here are some fun ways to say “bienvenue” (welcome) to 2020 in NOLA with your little ones. If you play it right, you can have a great day with the kids and still get home in time to pick up the babysitter and go out on the town.
Zoo Year's Eve
Take your party animals to the Audubon Zoo for music, games, and a countdown to twelve noon. Learn more.
Celebrate the stroke of twelve Cinderella Style (without losing your shoe) at Cinderella’s Masquerade Ball.

Come dressed in your best royal formal attire. Learn more.
