New Orleans Landmark Transportation
Mardi Gras World, the Blaine Kern Studios riverfront facility where many of Carnival's parade floats are built and stored, offers tours year-round and sits a short drive from downtown hotels and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. MSY Limo Service runs chauffeured transportation to the tour for visitors, groups and convention attendees looking for something distinctly New Orleans between sessions.
The facility's riverfront location on Convention Center Boulevard puts it close enough to downtown that a Mardi Gras World visit is an easy addition to a convention schedule or a CBD hotel stay, and we plan the round trip around however long the tour and gift shop take.
Groups and corporate visitors booking Mardi Gras World as part of an event itinerary get the same Sprinter van and group coordination we provide for any convention program, with one dispatch contact for the whole group.
Mardi Gras World's riverfront location on Convention Center Boulevard is only minutes from the CBD and Warehouse District hotel clusters, which makes it one of the easiest additions to a downtown stay or a break between convention sessions.
We plan the round trip around the tour's length, which usually runs a little over an hour with time in the gift shop, and the chauffeur either waits or returns at an agreed time depending on what the group prefers.
Convention planners booking a Mardi Gras World outing as part of a group itinerary get the same coordination we provide for any convention program — a Sprinter van or several vehicles assigned to the group, one dispatch contact, and a single invoice for the whole outing.
Corporate teams looking for a distinctly New Orleans activity between meetings find the tour's indoor, covered setting useful on a rainy day, with transportation planned the same way as any other corporate outing.
Visitors landing at MSY for a downtown stay that includes Mardi Gras World get a flight-tracked transfer of about 14 miles and 20 to 30 minutes to a CBD or Warehouse District hotel, with the tour easy to add to the same reservation.
