What parents say
Amusement park at City Park reminds me so much of Central Park in NYC. If you’ve kids, there’s nothing like it in New Orleans ‘heaven’. I bought the Family season pass for 4 for $265 and have no regrets. Babies absolutely love it.
I love to take my kids here for Christmas in the oaks. They have a beautiful botanical garden. The rides are meh. They are either for toddlers or adults. I find the tickets to ride are expensive. And if u buy a bracelet for unlimited rides, you still have to pay extra for the train around the park.
My girls are teens, and they still enjoyed the park! It was worth the admission price to see the joy on their faces. Unlimited rides are $22, and entry fee without rides is $4. The are so many things to do here, and the photo opportunities are tremendous!
First time visiting as I post my review. In taking my nephews, ages 11 and 13, I said that I would not get on any rides as I felt that they were catered to their ages and younger. Although that is the case, they pleaded with me to get on about three or four of them, so I did.
