Roads between here and there were easy to find and navigate. Once here, parking was easy as there were spots in their designated lot as well as out front. There were several handicap spots available as well. The building itself is beautiful inside and there is a cafeteria and theater. The theater was gorgeous and had seating for over 100 patrons. I am excited to bring my daughter back for a showing now that I know that this planetarium is here!

I don't go to the movies more than once or twice a year for a variety of reasons (mainly due to the audience around me not being respectful and at the high cost of a movie ticket, I don't always see the value), but I wanted to see The Bride in a theater and I was thrilled to see it was playing here. The lovely ticket salesperson was very welcoming and a great representation of the theater. The concession/bartenders, however... I felt disliked and I try to lead with kindness so I'm not sure if it was a rough night or whatever. The guy cleaning the theater was also super nice and I felt bad that he was doing it on his own, given how inconsiderate movie patrons can be (is it so hard to take your trash out with you?) The movie experience itself was very good, with stadium style seating that I didn't expect. Prices are lower than at your typical AMC etc and I appreciated the wine selection. I also admired their community events and special showings. It reminded me a lot of one of my favorite arthouses in NYC, the Angelika.

The VR gear was easy to get used to, the explanation of how it all works (thanks David!) was really clear and got straight to the point and got us right into the game. The actual game experience was far more immersive and amazing than I expected it to be, even after reading the FAQs and such on the site. I would absolutely go back for even the same encounter, let alone to try the zombie one, or the others offered. I hope this place gets lots of attention and business because it's a beautiful facility with pretty amazing tech and dedicated ownership.

Had a wonderful time at NOLA ChristmasFest! I'm a sucker for all things Christmas-y so best believe…read moreI was all over this opportunity to attend. This event goes on for a little over 2 weeks but after my first time attending, I can see how packed this place gets on a weekend. If you can attend during a weekday then I highly recommend it. A few of the activities you can enjoy with your ticket purchase are the carnival rides, ice skating rink, sledding, faux snowball arena, gingerbread house, maze, and so much more. I really enjoyed the carnival rides since they have a few that are attractive for teenagers and adults. The carousel is also a great one for social media. For those of us who like to have a drink while enjoying any activities aka me, then rest assured you can purchase alcohol including beer, wine, and specialty cocktails. The Christmas tree area is really photogenic and I love the feel-good vibes you get. As tempted as you might be to try one of the gingerbread houses don't but they're super cool to explore! They even have a local vendor area to support local artisans. NOLA ChristmasFest is a great family friendly activity and hopefully y'all have a chance to explore.

And who goes to the movies without getting popcorn? I was pleasantly surprised to see they had caramel popcorn--you can smell it as soon as you walk in. That said, the theater is definitely older. The reclining seats show a lot of wear, and it's clear it's a shadow of what it used to be. When I went, there were only about eight other people in the theater, so it was quiet but also a little empty. Overall, it's not my first choice for seeing a movie, but if the film I want is only playing here, I'd still go and chalk it up for the convenience.

I visited this theater for a private showing of The Color Purple which was simply AMAZING! A few…read moremonths back my boyfriend and I visited and I was sorely disappointed. The parking lot looks like a slight upgrade from the movie I am Legend. It's dark with overgrown weeds and trees, which some are covering the existing parking lot lighting. When you walk in, there's nobody to greet you, and also no kiosk to purchase tickets. You have to stand in line with everyone else including those in line for concessions. With the price of movie tickets, you'd expect this not to be a thing. Fortunately since it was a private showing, we already had tickets, however I stood in line for popcorn which took nearly 30 minutes with only 2 other guests in front of me who each walked away with 2 medium popcorns and 2 drinks. Another gentleman was quite annoyed and voiced his frustration about having to stand in the same line as concessions to purchase tickets stating how ridiculous it was and I agree. Once seated, the leather like seats were old, worn and peeling terribly. It was so bad, my friend who had on a white sweater, had pieces of the fabric all over the back of her sweater. I probably won't visit this theater unless free or until upgrades are done. Regal really needs to step up their game!

Person selling the tickets…read moreneeding to get name, email, zip just to sell a ticket slows everything up, then waiting to get the email...then filling out a completely useless waiver. It would be nice if someone did some pest control. We were absolutely ripped apart by fleas or mosquitos or chiggers or something waiting to purchase tickets; which also made the whole annoying process more irritating. Once in line, things were better. There's no kind of entertainment like line actors or even a video screen so dull but, the line moved pretty quickly and we only had about an hour wait. The sets were really well done and the atmosphere was great. The make up was terrible. Several times I was looking at an actor and just thinking 'what is going on with your face'. I know this was opening weekend so maybe they just haven't settled into their roles yet but the acting was also pretty bad. Many seemed to think the best way to scare people was just standing in front of them and screaming. One girl actually said 'help me'. Overall I enjoyed it.

So it's about $30 for a basic entry ticket (before fees) but as you pre-purchase the tickets online…read morethere is add-on after add-on offer which could essentially double the ticket price. I don't have a lot of experience with haunted houses etc but this was fairly well done from a structural point of view. The buildings and maze and props all well done, actors were fine not great. What I don't like beyond the add-on pricing was the fact we got here as they opened on a slow Tuesday night before just before Halloween. They coral you into different lines depending on the level of ticket you get. The basic entry had only about 50 people in front of us. Even though nobody was in the fast pass lines they didn't send people in efficiently or speedily. They made people wait and what should have take 5-10 minute took 45 min +. No bathroom options once you get inside. If you need to go as I didn't not expecting that wait for so few people you need to back out through the line to the porta potty outside and then swim your wave back through the line which at that point had grown 4x due to their inefficiency . Apparently they are trying to prove a point if you don't spend up to any of the higher price points they WILL make you wait even if there are no fast pass ticket holders and no backup. Once inside it probably only takes about 15-20 minutes to go through. Parking while easy the night we went but unorganized and people were parking behind cars to where they couldn't get out so be mindful how you park. Was it fun? MEH it was ok. Was I scared? Not at all, but got a laugh out of it. Overall it's too expensive, not well organized and punish you if you don't fast pass. I wouldn't return.

The interactive virtual experience provided a lot of interesting information and insight to the battles and events of this time period.

I was a little annoyed, but figured I might want to keep in mind this free museum about New Orleans. While there is so much to do in New Orleans, its nice to have something to do if you are feeling like you won't want to spend a lot of money or might want to leave quickly if you don't like. This is much bigger than it looks like from the outside. It also really nice on the inside, everyone I talked to here was really friendly. There are a variety of exhibits to check out. Some held my interest more than others, but this was definitely a good way to spend a couple hours. Even if you don't want to check out the museum there is a super cute coffee shop and courtyard on site which looks like a nice place to spend some time sitting. There's a store too, but I did not have time to check this out. I enjoyed learning that this used to be a rich person's residence and that he was the owner of the organ. We did watch the organ presentation and I found it very interesting. The ipad interactive American Revolution exhibit did not hold my interest as much, but I am sure many people enjoyed it. You do have to get a free ticket for this exhibit, which I assume is so they don't run out of ipads. Looks like this was just starting and we must have been one of the first people to check this out. I found the current Civil Rights and French Quarter parts to be much more interesting to me. The 18 minute video is a little hard to watch with images appearing on all 4 walls, but it is a good place to sit down and take a break. Looks like the exhibits change regularly and there are many other tours available at different times (some do cost money). I would certainly stop here on my next trip, especially if I just had a couple hours to kill and was feeling like I had not checked out enough museums. Its nice to have free educational things to round out a vacation. There were some kids doing a scavenger hunt who seemed to be enjoying themselves.
