Best places for parade viewing?

[NOLAteacher]

Hi! We'll be a group of 4 adults and two 10 year old girls. Where are good places to view the Paint the Night parade? We'll be there in early June. Thanks!

Back by Small World on one of the higher landings is a great spot. I have seed PTN both curbside and from back a ways and being back a bit higher is much better view than being curbside. A lot of the effects look better from a few steps back in my opinion.

Does the parade only go one way? Does it always go from Small World to Main St?

Always starts at Small World and ends at Main Street for the 1st show...starts at Main Street and ends at Small World for the second show.

Unlike DCA, there in no backstage way to get the parade from Main Street back to Small World. It either has to reverse course through the park or they move it back after park closes if there is only one parade scheduled.
