Surprising history lesson - The interactive stations really helped history come to life! The films were concise and colorful. The observation deck gave me a great overview of New Orleans. Loved it!

Went for the views, loved the exhibits - I was on the fence about visiting Vue Orleans, but a local at a boutique store recommended it, so I took the plunge, and I'm glad I did. While the observation floors provide fabulous views of the city, I personally had more fun with the exhibits. I'm a bit of a history nerd and was curious about the local culture, so that likely played a large part in creating that opinion. If you're mostly going for the views, it can be a relatively quick visit. I spent about 3 hours in total, taking the time to interact with most of the exhibits. Also, every single staff person I interacted with was welcoming and helpful, from the ticket kiosk to the exhibit staff.

Surprised and amazed - Excellent display of history, fun and beautiful work of art. Enjoy the videos and learning about Louisiana. Elevators are such a unique idea of entertainment.

Great views and an interesting experience - We really enjoyed this. Not very well advertised but a great experience from the moment you enter. Pay a little more for a drink at the top; it’s worth it and was so delicious and strong! Some great views of the city.

Breathtaking Views. - The narrative tour given by our tour guide. The elevator experience and the views when you get to the top floor. City and Ocean views(best of both worlds).

Nice 360-degree view of New Orleans! - An Interesting Interactive Attraction to start. A nice 360-degree view of New Orleans. The drinks were terrible so pass on that option.

Not bad, but nothing special - Start with interactive exhibits on the ground floor. Somewhat interesting, but somewhat glitchy. The food one was maybe the most interesting of the bunch?
Then up the elevator with a short in-car movie timed for the ride - well done.
And then a not-very-impressive view of the city.
This would be fine if it cost about 40 percent less. As it is, just a little too pricey for what you get.

Typical city observation - This was the typical observation deck you find in any city, just a different city to look at. No worries if you are afraid of heights, as I am. There are partitions at the edge. No leaning over a rail. It is also educational.
