Vue Orleans is nice but I think that tourists would appreciate it a lot more than locals. I was already familiar with mostly everything that was highlighted, so there was no “wow” factor for me. There were some interactive exhibits but some were not user friendly. There are some nice views however. When we visited, the outside viewing area was closed due to the weather. It would have been nice if they would have communicated that before we caught the elevator up there. It was a waste of our time and an inconvenience. When you purchase your ticket, I highly recommend getting the reduced parking rate. It’s a pretty good deal. There’s also a decent discount for Louisiana residents.

I never write reviews like this, but felt I needed to for this place. I DO NOT recommend shopping here if you are a person of color. I watched what appeared to be the owner stand 2 feet away from a woman of color and watched her for several minutes as if she would steal something. She didn’t do that to anyone else in the store.

If you want nice, quality souvenirs, then buy them at Heathrow Airport. They have a great selection, the prices are fair and you won’t be discriminated against!
