Directly across the Mississippi River from the French Quarter and Canal Street is the West Bank neighborhood of Algiers. A free shuttle will take you to the place where Mardi Gras is created. You may catch the artists and builders of the world famous floats hard at work. There is a gift shop where you can buy Carnival memorabilia, so you can say you have seen Mardi Gras and have something to show for it. Mardi Gras World is a fun trip for children, as a chest full of costumes affords them the chance to dress in true Carnival style.
