Check the website. I am sorry I can not answer that. We were part of a tour group on American Cruise Lines. If u are in New Orleans, be sure to leave a day to tour the WWII museum there. It is awesome. Three buildings and we were there all day til closings and still did not see everything.
Historic Site without "Big House" Exhibit is $25.01/adult or $7.41/child. This admission includes access to the historic site and all exhibits excluding the "Big House" exhibit.
Yes. I don’t have a problem purchasing a ticket there on site for admission, what I don’t really care for is having to go thru the third party tour booking. Just want to know if I show up and pay to get in can I tour??
A:
It is probably best to look at their official web site.
