This is the working warehouse of Kern Studios, which builds many of the giant floats you see roll during Carnival. Guided tours take you among towering sculptures and half-finished floats, with a look at how the props are made. It is a fun, year-round way to experience Mardi Gras magic even if you visit in the off-season; there is a free shuttle from downtown.
