Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World in New Orleans, LA is now open year round for tours- visitors to the area shouldn't miss this eclectic assortment of Mardi Gras floats.
The tour is broken into two parts with a guided portion, and a non-guided portion. All the tours include free coffee and King Cake, so there's no need to worry about getting hungry.
Yellow arrows guide visitors through the maze of colorful floats, ending at the den where artists work on these lively creations.
So, before you experience the festival itself, experience the hard work that goes into making Mardi Gras possible.
