Are you getting hot walking around outside? Why don’t you go on some factory tours in New Orleans? Of course, NOLA being NOLA, these factories aren’t your run of the mill manufacturing companies. No, they all tend to make something that is a little bit more fun…
- Abita Factory, 166 Barbee Rd., Covington
facebook.com/abita To start your tours of factories in New Orleans, the Abita Factory is an awesome first stop.
They do daily tours that include in-depth information on how the beer is brewed.
facebook.com/abita It’s a great activity to do with a group of friends.
One of my favorite parts of the tour is learning about how they actually bottle all of the beer.

- Mardi Gras World, 1380 Port of New Orleans Pl
facebook.com/MardiGrasWorld Of course, if you are in New Orleans it’s a good idea to see where Mardi Gras is built.
Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras world is the place to do it.
facebook.com/MardiGrasWorld You are going to see artisans who create the paper mache floats you see going down the road in New Orleans.
Witnessing the behind the scenes (or sometimes inside the scene) of Mardi Gras makes you see the celebration from a whole new point of view.
facebook.com/MardiGrasWorld It’s a really fun place to see amazing artisans in New Orleans doing their stuff.
- Old New Orleans Rum, 2815 Frenchmen St.
facebook.com/oldneworleansrum/ Another special factory in New Orleans is the Old New Orleans Rum factory.
It’s a special spot that offers some of the most up close an personal tours of a liquor distillery.
facebook.com/oldneworleansrum/ All of the various machinery still blows my mind.
And of course your tour won’t be complete without a full tasting.
facebook.com/oldneworleansrum/ Gingeroo is definitely one of my favorite drinks of all time.
- Cigar Factory, 415 Decatur St.
facebook.com/NOLACIGARS Finally, finish up all of your tours at the Cigar Factory of New Orleans.
You will know your cigars are fresh when you see them being hand rolled right in front of you.
facebook.com/NOLACIGARS It’s a really fun place to sit back and relax with a super tasty cigar, if that’s something you enjoy.
