What To Expect

City Park

City Park is as magical and unique as the city of New Orleans. The 1,300-acre outdoor oasis has enchanted New Orleanians since 1854, making it one of the nation’s oldest urban parks. Each year, millions of visitors stroll under the same historic oaks and picturesque moss canopies that served as the backdrop for dances, concerts and even gentlemanly duels or “affaires d’honneur” for generations.

Hurricane Katrina Memorial

On the former site of Charity Hospital’s paupers’ field, this ominous but oddly affecting circle of tombs holds the bodies of 85 unclaimed victims of the 2005 levee failures and the names of others who perished. It’s an unfussy place that’s easily missed, the better for contemplative solitude, perhaps. Surrounded by a storm-shaped series of pathways, the memorial does its duty in giving one substantial pause.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Our driver, Steven Lirette, was excellent! He was knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour is a great way to learn about the City and the history behind it's above ground tombs. It was interesting to learn how the grave system is handled both in Deed and management by the Families or Organizations. My Sister and I went on the 11pm tour for her Birthday, and this was by far one of our favorite highlights of our trip to New Orleans. The second half of the tour (after a meal and bathroom stop) is more focused on ghost hunting, but is also very informative about the area, the Charity Hospital Cemetery history, the link to paranormal experiences, and about the Hurricane Katrina monument in the cemetery. Each group can get tools to do their own ghost hunt during this portion of the tour. I feel this event has a little of something for everyone.
