About this experience
Voodoo has long reigned in New Orleans legends, folklore, and history. It is shrouded in mystery and secrecy and often misrepresented in popular culture.
Spirituality was hidden among the enslaved persons of the 1700s, popularized and commercialized by the famous Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau in the 19th century, and still functions as a valid religion in the modern-day city.
Explore the vibrant heart of Congo Square, where enslaved Africans once gathered to practice their cultural rituals and music, laying the foundation for the city’s rich Voodoo traditions.
Discover the life and legends of Marie Laveau, the most famous Voodoo practitioner in history.
Voodoo Dolls, Vevers, and Gris-Gris Bags: Get hands-on with Voodoo artifacts, learning about dolls, vevers, and gris-gris bags, and learn their meanings and uses.
Voodoo Authentica and other modern temples: End the tour outside contemporary Voodoo temples, including Voodoo Authentica, to witness modern practices and rituals.
