What to do on New Years Eve in New Orleans?

I have two kids boy (15) daughter (8). They may be visiting the ex-wife for Christmas, but they will be back home with me for New Years. I would like to take them to New Orleans. Is there something we can do that is fun, but doesn't involve drunkenness, public nudity, cheap beer, overly-loud music and Fraternity guy's urinating on the Street corner? I know this pretty much rules out The Quarter but there should be other places and other things we can do to celebrate.

    As Ur traveling with two kids, I recommend you some kid-friendly things to do on New Year’s Eve in New Orleans.

    The Louisiana Children’s Museum

    It’s the most playful place in New Orleans for families. On every New Year’s Eve, the museum hosts a party just for kids from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm. The party prepares many interesting sections and many of them are set in the New Year kid style, like balloon launch and confetti drop to ring. The party will also introduce some special musical guests and innovative fun for your kids.

    The Audubon Zoo

    The zoo is also a popular destination for family friendly celebrations in New Year’s Eve in New Orleans. U can bring your kids there.

    New Year’s Eve Fireworks Cruise

    New Orleans offers many fireworks cruise on that special day. I guess kids are usually fond of firework displays. You can enjoy magnificent firework displays along the Mississippi River.

    Well, I know you must want to give your kids a memorable New Year holiday as possible. I suppose you need enough preparations for your holiday. As a parent, you should pay attention to several things when traveling with kids. I found this on a travel forum and it’s said that the website provides useful info on kids travel in New Orleans. Hope it useful for you.

    The audubon zoo has a party during the day. When it gets closer look for it on their website.

    Also the ball dropping at jax is great so you can see the fireworks.

    Why don't you go to a restaurant than take your kids to the fireworks and ball drop. Book reservations early. Try Muriels, or something less formal.
