New Orleans City Park: Complete Self-Guided Tour

Wander New Orleans not just as a tourist, but as an adventurer turning a regular walk into a memory you’ll share for years.

Whether you're exploring alone, with a partner, or with friends, this complete self-guided tour offers the ultimate freedom of discovery: no rushing after a guide, no groups of strangers, and no strict schedules. You can stop for photos whenever you want, grab a coffee when you feel like it, and discover the soul of the city through the pace and the eyes of a local.

You'll peel back the layers of City Park’s past—from its origins as a plantation to its current status as a cultural mecca for locals.

Are you ready to discover unique historical facts, find hidden works of art, and see why this green space is the heart of New Orleans?

• The Ancient Giants: Stand in the shadow of the McDonogh Oak, an 800-year-old marvel that has witnessed centuries of history.
• Art in Nature: Explore the grounds surrounding one of the top sculpture gardens in the country, and hunt for specific works by the famous sculptor Enrique Alférez.
• A Story of Evolution: Learn how this land transformed from a sugar plantation into a beloved public space, surviving hurricanes and history to become a sanctuary for the city.

This tour is fully self-guided with the use of the app on your phone. You'll visit a set of locations in the city and each of them will represent a new chapter in your journey.

When you arrive at a location, you'll read the story and search the world around you (statues, plaques, buildings) for the answer to a challenge. Solving the challenge unlocks the next part of the story and a fun "Fact Card" about the landmark in that area. The difficulty level is easy and you can always ask for a hint or skip a challenge if you get stuck.
