Timeline
09:00
Walk the quiet paths of the New Orleans Botanical Gardens. As the first classical garden in New Orleans, it is a serene place to start your morning.
09:45
Stop for a late breakfast or early lunch at Cafe NOMA. It is just a short walk from the gardens and opens at 08:00 on Sundays.
10:30
Head back toward the main park areas. Take a slow drive or walk through the winding lanes to see the renovated grounds and the Storyland playground.
Local tip
The park is large. Use the walking paths between the Botanical Gardens and Cafe NOMA rather than driving to keep the pace relaxed.
Check before you go
- Cafe NOMA is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Check their hours if you are visiting on a weekday.
