Welcome to an extraordinary city garden; a haven to the world’s greatest cluster of ancient oak trees. These awe-inspiring Southern Live Oaks, laden with Spanish moss, have silently observed over 700 years of environmental history and social customs.

We will journey through an enchanting natural setting filled with wild creatures, captivating bayous, hidden fountains, love tales, Neo-Classical and Art-Deco structures, WPA-era parks and crossings, Enrique Alferez artwork, and ‘winged steeds.’ City Park encapsulates the essence of New Orleans. Come along as we commemorate the triumphant synergy between the majesty of nature and mankind’s creative genius.

Good outing - The tour was very interesting and knowledgeable. It's for a walking tour, but we rode bikes and did just fine with it.

So much fun in one place - This park was amazing. We went to the art museum, then rented a paddle boat and enjoyed time on the lake in the early evening. It could not be more fun.

Rainy day cuts tour short - I’m sorry, our walk was cut very short due to a pouring rain storm, so we went into the art museum. From the little we heard we think it would have been good fun.

Couldn’t use the audio tour - When we arrived at the Gardens and presented the information for the audio tour, the people behind the desk didn’t know what we were talking about. I showed them the paperwork and they called the manager and she didn’t know anything about it either. It was a waste of $10.
