A free, elaborately decorated house on St. Charles Avenue filled with creative skeleton displays and witty, sarcastic signs that change seasonally—a beloved New Orleans tradition worth seeing year-round. The displays are meticulously detailed and frequently updated with current pop culture references, making it fun for both kids and adults. Fair warning: it gets very crowded on Halloween, so plan accordingly if you're visiting then.
