- LHS329Satellite Beach, FL306 contributionsWe were so lucky to be in town for the first live concert by Lyrica Baroque since covid. There were strict covid protocols with vaccination and ID checked. The music was divine and in a setting that matched. Thank you for making safety so important that we could have live music again.Written 8 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Linda_R1801Marshfield, Wisconsin785 contributionsWe came upon this mansion on our own after completing a tour of the Garden District. It happened to be open for tours when we were there for $15. Why not?
What struck me as very unusual about this mansion is photography is encouraged and nothing says, "Do Not Touch." In fact, you can sit on the furniture! Amazing. Completely enjoyed the tour.
The outside of this mansion was used in the movie "Django Unchained" and it is directly across the street by the former mansion of Anne Rice & later, Nicolas Cage.Written 11 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Worth a look.Written 14 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Caroline LLos Angeles, CA2,616 contributionsFree and open to the public. Chances are you’ll cross this in your exploration of the French quarter so why not have a look. It doesn’t take but about 10 minutes to see everything and the courtyard is beautiful. Great photo op with nice scenery in background. Although they do not let you go into the courtyard so you can take photos on balcony. Small pottery collection and history of building. Great break from souvenir shopsWritten 1 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland31,614 contributionsGenerations Hall is a very large hall that is open for rent for functions.

- perakashNew Jersey402 contributionsThese are very old buildings that run down the sides of Jackson Square. The bottom level is all different shops and the upper level is apartments. Worth a look if you are in the squareWritten 10 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Louis FAltus, OK1,296 contributionsThe house is on private property so you can’t go up to it and the area is extremely run down but it didn’t feel unsafe visiting. Worth a short detour to see.Written 8 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
