Visitors enjoy a park program.
Located in the heart of New Orleans French Quarter, the park's primary visitor center is located at 916 N. Peters Street and offers diverse opportunities to learn about the history and culture of New Orleans jazz. Ranger-led demonstrations, talks, video documentaries and live music spill forth from the visitor center sixdays a week. Stop by and listen for awhile. The park also shares a space with the Louisiana State Museum in the Old U. S. Mint located at 400 Esplanade Avenue with a world class performance venue and jazz museum due to open in September, 2011. Lastly, Perseverance Hall in Louis Armstrong Park, open on Saturdays only from 9-5, is the new home for our weekly kid's music workshop at 11:00 a.m.
