The view makes it worth it - 360 degree view of the city. Going on a clear day is best. You start with the history downstairs and work your way through the exhibits before going to the deck.

A Good Way to Acclimate Yourself to the Area - The observation deck gives great views of the city and the interactive museum inside is a good introduction to the geography and history of New Orleans. Staff were all friendly.

Fantastic Experience and Great View - Definitely go and try to schedule it before sunset to get best of both worlds with the city views in the daylight and city at night. We did the drink package and it’s definitely worth it they are extremely generous with the pour! They also take professional photos with 3 edited photos. They offer 1 photo with frame for $30 or all 3 photos without the frame for $20 but it would have to be cash only which was fine because we thought it was totally worth getting all 3 for that price.

Worth seeing - It’s not the tallest observation deck I’ve visited but it was still nice. There are some cool views of the city as well as some very well thought out exhibits inside that we enjoyed. Everyone who worked there was super pleasant and helpful.

Perfection - The $87+ dollars I spent to go with my friend was well worth every dollar. The small tour in multiple films, including in the elevator were fascinating and informative. The best thing were the observation deck, both inside and outside. The view from both is breathtaking, particularly the upper outdoor view. Me and my friend have decided this is going to be a regular thing to do when I come to New Orleans..
