New Orleans City Park: Self-Guided History Puzzle Walk
Overview
Explore one of America's largest urban parks in this self-guided puzzle adventure through New Orleans City Park. Across 13 stops, uncover 800 years of history beneath ancient oaks, world-class sculptures, and landmarks most visitors walk right past.
Something in the park has gone out of balance. Solve puzzles at the Museum of Art, decode clues at a duelling ground where gold spectacles were buried under the roots, and follow a pigeon through hidden islands and forgotten fountains.
Discover an 800-year-old oak draped in resurrection fern, a fairytale village with Captain Hook's ship, a 1907 dance pavilion guarded by stone lions, and a tree that sings when the wind blows.
The route covers 3.5 km through shaded trails and lagoon paths. Best during the day. Start anytime and play at your own pace.
Great for couples, families, and nature lovers. Download the Questo app, enter your booking code, and head to the Museum of Art entrance to begin.
