Julia Street, New Orleans

Louisiana Children's Museum

Julia Street
New Orleans, Louisiana

While driving I-10, stop in New Orleans to stretch your legs along Julia Street. Lined with art galleries, this area is a great pitstop to spend just a short time, or several hours. A good place to park is in the pay lot behind the Arthur Roger Gallery. Stop in to see the current exhibits and then head over to the Louisiana Children’s Museum (right next door). And if you are still up for learning more about Southern art and culture, head down a few blocks to the Ogden.

Distance off the interstate: Just a few miles.

Bathrooms: The best bet is likely in the children’s museum.
