In addition to antique farm equipment, the twenty-five acre grounds also feature a restaurant, blacksmith shop and a souvenir shop, of which you'll enjoy some free time to peruse at your leisure. It is a comprehensive plantation experience. Upgrade your experience to include a 3-hour city and cemetery tour of New Orleans with a stop to tour the above ground tombs at St. Louis Cemetery No. 3.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the Oak Alley plantation tour?

A: There's no strict age limit for the tour, but it's worth noting that the tour involves a bit of walking through the plantation and around the house. Kids usually love the open space and the historical bits, but I'd say it's best for kids aged 7 and up who can handle the walking and history. If you have younger ones, they might get a bit restless.

Q: What should I wear for the Oak Alley tour? Is it formal?

A: Dress casual but nice! It's mostly an outdoor experience with the plantation grounds and trees, so comfy shoes are a must. It can get hot in Louisiana, so breathable fabrics are best. You don't need anything too formal, but if you wanna take some cute pics, just keep it stylish yet practical!

Q: What if it rains on the day of the tour? Are we still going?

A: They run the tour rain or shine, but if there's severe weather, they may reschedule. Just be sure to check the forecast beforehand. Wearing a poncho might not be a bad idea, but keep in mind that the grounds can get muddy if it rains a lot. They have covered areas, though!

Just got back from the Oak Alley tour, and wow!

I just did the Oak Alley Plantation tour, and it was absolutely stunning! The trees really do feel like something out of a movie. We opted for the city and cemetery tour too, which added so much depth to the experience. It was super informative and made me appreciate the history even more. Definitely get the restaurant’s praline dessert if you go—so good!

Considering gifting the Oak Alley tour to my parents

I really want to surprise my parents with the Oak Alley Plantation tour for their anniversary. I think they’d love the history and the beautiful scenery. I’m just a little worried about the walking part since they’re in their late 70s. Anyone know if there's a lot of walking? I want to make sure this is a good fit!
