Mardi Gras parade with kids

[mugsymagoos]

If we cannot get into the little jesters area as people have mentioned, where would be the best place to watch the parade with three children? We are going this Saturday evening! Thank you!!!

I suggest you go over by Jaws.

Okay, thanks....if it is crowded over that way, what would be a second choice? How far in advance should we get a spot?

There are Little Jester's viewing areas. These areas are specifically designed for children 9 and under. Adults not accompanied by children are shipped off to the side.

Yes, I have found that the best place is near Jaws or somewhere around the water. That is where I will be this Saturday.

And if you do not care to see the concert I definitely recommend staying away from the stage and surrounding areas (Mummy, Shrek, Twister, etc). We were around there last year and that area seems to be a lot crazier. Never again will we be in that area.

I just wanted to link this thread for you. We've been talking about kids at Mardi Gras for a few weeks and you may get some more info from it:

If you get to the Jaws area about 15-30 minutes prior to the parade, it won't be crowded. It usually only gets crowded after the parade starts and everyone is running up to see it.
