Review & FAQ:

The Jean Lafitte National Park invites visitors and locals alike to discover and explore the rich cultural mix of New Orleans, Louisiana and the surrounding area. The park allows people to view alligators from the banks of a bayou, learn about Cajun traditions, and step back in time to the Battle of New Orleans that took place in 1815. Six different and unique sites make up the Jean Lafitte National Park: the Barataria Preserve wetlands, the Chalmette Battlefield, the French Quarter Visitors Center, the Acadian Cultural Center, the Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center, and the Prairie Acadian Cultural Center.
