this place is so cool, we went there last summer and we're going back again in july. awesome shopping and dinning. big place too, you'll need at least a couple days to cover it all.
Evangeline's rocks for off gifty items. The Delta King Riverboat can't be beat for atmosphere when it comes to overnight accomodations. Fanny Ann's is great for a night out (loud music, good drinks, crazy cool ambiance!) Good food at Fat City Suspect Murder Mystery Dinner Theater is a total blast
Rent a bike and take a ride along the river with the kids!
We loved this place. We go eveytime we are in town. Not very expensive and great educational experience for the kids. There are actors roaming the dusty streets of the town that are willing to answer questions. If you have been to Philadelphia these actors are just as good.
Novelty shops, good food, horse carriage rides, stream boat, and the ...

Amazingly fun!

Don't forget to visit the train museum, have a beer on the Delta King, eat dinner at Fat City and shop for some novelties at Evangeline's! A lot of shop owners will sell you their merchandise for below the sticker price if they see you like it a lot (mostly in the family owned gift shops).
Hog's Head pub is not so great, you should probably avoid it (if it's still there).

Authentic New Orleans food
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/22/07
My husband and I visited Old Sacramento on 6/18 and loved it. So many places to see and great restaurants. We ate at Chateau New Orleans and had the best Chicken Jambalaya. Before ordering the waiter brought out small dishes to sample. This was a great experience.

Where else can you ride a steam train then walk less than 3 blocks and ride a Paddlewheel River Boat. The train museum is very close by as well. Had a lot of fun.
