Creole Kids Tour in New Orleans

Overview

Take a stroll back in time on this unique 90 minute walking tour of the French Quarter. The teacher-led Creole Kids Tour leads elementary aged kids (and their adults) through 6 blocks of the French Quarter explaining who lived here, why they lived here, and what life was like for kids living here in the 19th century. Kids will see pictures of the past, hold artifacts from the past, and reenact a moment in time. Attending adults will walk away with a better understanding of the city- and some very happy kids! Adults are encouraged to participate or to kick back and let their kids lead the show.

What To Expect

Mississippi River

Families will learn facts about the river and its use over the past centuries. Dad jokes and thought provoking questions are included.

Andrew Jackson Statue

Kids will learn who Andrew Jackson was, what he is best known for, and why there is a statue of him in New Orleans. They will also greet him as a 19th century citizen would.

Jackson Square

In this open park, families will sit in the shade and learn about the different people who controlled, worked, and lived in New Orleans since the 1600s. We'll discuss how this land was used and why people came here- willingly and enslaved. Kids will learn about daily life in the 1800s for free kids vs enslaved children; Americans vs Creoles, and boys vs girls. Thought provoking discussions are woven into the reenactment of aspects of our past while soaking up the sun in this beautiful Square.

St. Louis Cathedral

Families will learn about the role of the Catholic Church in setting up the colony- as well as the Code Noir which governed religion and roles of the enslaved population. We'll peek along the side and hear about one of the most popular Catholic holidays: Mardi Gras.

When we brought our kids to New Orleans this past March, more than one person said "Uh, you're taking your kids to New Orleans??" Yes, there is more to New Orleans than night life. I found Jill via a bike touring company that (sadly) didn't accomodate kids. We never did take the bike tour, but we did two different tours with Jill, "The Port, the Pirates. . " before lunch and "Creole Kids" after lunch. My five year old lost interest but my eight year old was fascinated and we all had a great time.
