Our Next Reunion
There are many things to see and do while staying in and around the New Orleans area. There will be some planned activities to join in on and plenty of free time for you to explore the surrounding areas. Here are some suggestions (more will be added every month or so...)
Audubon Aquarium - See local and exotic sea life -
Take refuge from the Louisiana heat in the cool, dark rooms of this aquarium and insectarium – the latter was merged into the facility during its 2023 remodelling. The Gulf of Mexico exhibit shows off the sharks, turtles and stingrays found in regional waters. There are also Amazon and Caribbean habitats, with macaws, angelfish, piranhas and anaconda. The Caribbean reef has an immersive, 30-foot glass tunnel that you can walk through as the fish glide past. Located a 1 Canal Street. For more information, visit audubonnatureinstitute.org/aquarium.
The National World War II Museum - Offering a compelling blend of sweeping narrative and poignant personal detail, The National WWII Museum features immersive exhibits, multimedia experiences, and an expansive collection of artifacts and first-person oral histories, taking visitors inside the story of the war that changed the world. Dedicated in 2000 as The National D-Day Museum, the institution celebrates the American spirit, teamwork, optimism, courage and sacrifices of the men and women who fought on the battlefront and served on the Home Front.
