With a vibrant food scene, a walkable downtown, and a system of streetcars that make transportation a breeze, New Orleans offers an array of child-friendly activities that you won't find anywhere else.
From an abandoned amusement park in New Orleans East to the scene of a horrific murder-suicide in the French Quarter, these sites are chilling in their own unique way.
