12 Things to Do in New Orleans With Kids (That Are Fun for You, Too)

"Set in the U.S. Custom House, which dates back to 1848, the Audubon Butterfly Sanctuary and Insectarium is the largest museum in North America dedicated to insects. Not only are there loads of displays with live insects, there are also exhibits—tunnels and walkways—that make you feel bug-sized. The most popular exhibit is the butterfly garden, which houses around 700 free-flying butterflies, plus a koi pond that’s home to red-footed tortoises. Even cockroaches get their moment of glory in the Insects of New Orleans gallery, where a miniaturized '50s kitchen makes them look huge." - Stirling Kelso
