The New Orleans Train Garden features a quarter-mile of track carrying 1/22-scale streetcars and freight trains, illustrating what life in Crescent City was like a century ago. This outdoor area has the famous Tree of Life, plus two stone labyrinths to get lost in.
The Labyrinth at Audubon Park is the best place to relax in Uptown. While it used to be devoted to horse racing, the cemetery today is famous for its monumental architecture and funeral sculptures.
If you prefer your dead people to stay dead, Metairie Cemetery offers different experience. You may even see a ghost or two at this haunted mansion. Speaking of attractions, LaLaurie Mansion, the notorious building with a dark history dating back to the 1800s, is one of the most fascinating landmarks in New Orleans.
