We did the special ops mission at the escape game and loved it! We’ve done probably about 15-20 escape rooms and I’d have this in our top 3 no question. It had really high production value, a wide variety of clues, and they were very intuitive. We had a blast and can’t wait to do all the other rooms here. Couldn’t recommend it anymore.

We had such a great time! What a fun, engaging, and interactive way to collaborate with friends. This is a great addition to an aquarium trip, but also an exciting excursion if you find yourself in the French Quarter with some extra time before a meal (or if you need a quick dip into some air conditioning!). We found the puzzles fun, and their difficulty is appropriate for groups of all ages. There were so many little clever details in the interactive puzzles, room design, and more—even seasoned escape room enthusiasts will be delighted. Don't miss it next time you visit the aquarium or find yourself in the French Quarter!

I purchased the Audubon Experience Tickets to get more bang for my buck! I previewed the titles before hand to see which one we wanted to watch. I wanted to watch Hurricane on the Bayou! On the map of the aquarium they gave the times of the movies. It was in the middle of walking through the aquarium, so we were able to exit and go watch a movie and return to the aquarium afterwards. Walking over there, and speaking with them was very pleasant. The staff was wonderful. We were able to turn in our license, get a chain and lock for our stroller! Anyhow, they have snacks, popcorn, drinks, and hot dogs for sale which was nice. So we purchased some drinks since we already brought our snacks with us. We were stunned at how large the screen and how many seats were there! We sat down in comfortable seats! The movie started playing and we were shocked at the quality of sound! My kid got scared a few times through the movie. She is 3.5 and the loud thunder noises of the hurricane scared her. She also said how loud it was a few times. Her father an I loved every second of the movie. I may have even cried a bit. It was a nice break from walking at the aquarium and we enjoyed the movie. What I really enjoyed was the plastic art that they had there. The seahorse on a wagon and the jelly fishes made out of plastic was wonderful! TRUE ART!

My husband surprised me with renewing our vows for our 40th anniversary while we were in New Orleans. It was a total surprise to me until I walked in the door of the chapel and even then it took a few seconds to register. He arranged it all himself with the help of Rev Tony and staff and it was wonderful. A bit of camp, a bit of humour, a bit of ceremony and a whole lot of emotions! We had little meet and greet so I could pull myself together, then Rev Tony asked if there was anyone who we’d want here so we called our daughter back in Canada and she FaceTime ‘d the entire ceremony. We had professional photos taken by Teresa who was a sweetheart, and gave us the disk as we left. We weren’t rushed at all. Lastly we had a horse and buggy outside waiting with a bottle of champagne and we had a half hour tour of the French Quarter with Willie and Elvis. Everything was perfect and emotional and fun. Just as every wedding and marriage should be. Thanks to everyone at the French Quarter Wedding Chapel for giving us such a wonderful memory.
