Vue Orleans Observation Deck

Halloween birthday reservations here at Vue Orleans. Did you know that this building is the original World Trade Center of New Orleans??!!We were 15 minutes behind but our tour guide Leeana was amazing! Felt like family. She informed us we were a bit behind, but made us feel like we didn't miss a beat. She showed us each and every display item, gave us the history and knowledge to how to operate the screen films for ourselves. We watched a beautiful animated short 5 minute film of the history of New Orleans. The screen is 180 which makes you feel like you are part of the movie. Next we headed up to the top floors 33 & 34. Floor 33 was 360 of New Orleans history. And for 34 for our all inclusive VIP signature drink of choice. Which retails at $15. Hint: If you plan on drinking purchase the all inclusive tickets and you'll save $10 off your drink!Leeana also greeted us at the end of our experience

I got a discounted ticket on Groupon. It was a great experience, learned some interesting facts about the history of the city. The tour guide was great. I want to go again.

I feel this attraction is geared for tourist to get a quick background of NOLA. I enjoyed the interactive displays, but I feel this attraction fell short of my expectations. I would've enjoyed a more detailed history of NOLA and not just a gloss over. The observation deck was ok, but the cafe was really good and the drinks more amazing

This is one of the best museums I've been to! New Orleans has SUCH A RICH AND VERY LAYERED history that this is exactly the type of place that is needed to get the full history of all that had happened here. My family was visiting from Arizona and I recommended we go here.They have a VIP Experience Package that gives you a tour guide and a complimentary cocktail. You can choose from a New Orleans Hurricane, a Mint Juliep or a Voodoo Margarita. They are regularly $14 each so I recommend just getting the package. This is my second time coming and it makes all the difference with the tour guide, they give you so much information on New Orleans from start to finish! Anytime someone is visiting that wants to submerge themselves in the city's history- we shall come here!

Had no idea this was here, as i have been to NOLA before. So, i was pleasantly surprised to discover this hidden gem. This place gives you the history of New Orleans with the absolute best Vue (smile). They have 3D interactive exhibits showing the history, food, music, neighborhoods and attractions of New Orleans.After that, you take the coolest elevator ride (interactive too) to the 33rd floor to get the best 360 degree views of NOLA. The staff explained everything, such as how to use the 3D telescopes to see the whole city and all its attractions.The 34th floor is an open air deck overlooking NOLA and they even have a bar/cafe. Stunning views and no wait and we learned soooo much from the interactive displays and the helpful staff. A must do!!

This was a great experience! Very interactive, educational, and fun. I wish they were open at night to get a better view of the city. However, it's still a nice view in daylight.

Is it a little touristy yes! Is it worth the price to some probably not. It doesn't have a huge amount in here. The exhibits were NOT easy to use! I wanted to face my height fear. It wasn't scary. I got the drink package . The voodoo drink it was wonky. If you only care about looking out then yes it might b ok for you. Me I wanted more history in there. My favorite part was the cafe..The view is good! It's pricey but I budgeted for it. If you are on a budget I say skip it! It's just not worth the high amount!! Steering the boat was fun! Let's face it there is not much to do for families . By one or two days you dont know what to do.. My honest opinion you do you.. It's expensive...You make that choice.

We are locals who enjoy being tourists in our own city. Vue did not disappoint. You enter around the side of the building (don't go through the hotel like we did at first). Once inside there is an interactive space where you can learn about New Orleans. We didn't spend much time there because I was anxious to go up top. The elevator ride was interesting because a move plays all around. The view from the top is amazing! There are stands that tell you a bit about what you are looking at. It's enclosed and comfortable. Go up one more floor and there is a little snack shop that sells some food and drinks. We were a little disappointed because the outside was closed due to lightning in the area. but better safe than sorry. We very much enjoyed our visit and plan to go back.

Explore history, culture, music, arts and authentic cuisines through the lens of Vue Orleans! What are you waiting for? Visit!!! Visit!!!! Visit!!!! I think this place should be added to the "first stop" on every tourist's list because this is where you'll learn New Orleans facts and feel enlightened to make reservations at some of the hottest restaurants and historic spots around town. Yes! You heard it right! A stroll through two dynamic floors led to me being very intentional about how I wanted to continue my vacation in NOLA. It sparked my interest in supporting more local vendors and booking reservations at authentic Creole spots. But most importantly, it helped me to learn about NOLA outside of what history books offered. Let me transition here by saying that the price was worth it! Think about this, after leaving the ticket booth, you walk up the beautiful steps to the entrance and you're immediately greeted by a warm staff member who then leads you down the hallway to provide you with instructions on how to use the interactive wall game. From there, you stand in front of life size holograms, all of whom, takes you through NOLA history from the lens of those who were Indigenous, enslaved, revolutionist and more. Those whose impact led to great changes in history and whose presence was significant in marking NOLA the place that we all grew to love. Yes, it's history from the lens of those who textbooks weren't eager to share and it made me have a greater appreciation. How long did it take to walk through this floor? 1-hour! Listen! You're going to want to stay a while to watch every presentation, sit at the recipe counter to learn authentic recipes and really engage in the history of Mardi Gras. After this amazing experience, head on over to the elevator and face the back! You heard me right, face the back and enjoy the show on your ride to the top floor. The top floor was another 1-hour walk because I wanted to take in the views inside and outside but also explore more of the history corners. I have to say that if it were up to me, I would have visited here every day just to relive a magical journey. To wrap up this review, visit! Book reservations or walk up to the ticket booth, either options are accepted. And let me help anyone who might be asking "is it good for kids?" I saw that it's better for older children (see website for age) but be careful when taking them outside because the wind was packing a punch from that altitude and surely pushed me back a few times. Other than that, it's a place where families can engage or a solo traveler can spend hours learning just like I did. Don't hesitate, visit!

Great concept and tourists for learning the history, culture, and traditions of New Orleans, while taking in the sights on the 360 rooftop. Fun and interactive for all ages. Located in the same address as the Four Seasons but a completely different entrance. Staff are all so friendly, kind, and willing to answer questions and share facts.
