Upon entering, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We watched a mall film to start our tour and then a gentleman guided us around the museum with loads of information about the history of the museum but mostly Madi Gras. He seemed to be an expert on the subject, which was good for us because we knew very little about it. There were loads of items for people to see. I would totally recommend this attraction if in the area.

Unbelievably fantastic! This small museum dedicated to Mardi Gras in Mobile blew us away. We didn’t even know Mobile has a huge Mardi Gras. They have many of the costumes worn, particularly the kings and queens which take your breath away with their intricate design and beauty. You have the choice of doing a self-guided tour or a docent tour. We had a docent give the two of us our own private tour which added greatly to our experience. I would make this a must visit, even if you are in Mobile for half a day

The tour begins with an eight-minute film showing in the history of Carnaval in Mobile Alabama. it literally made me want to come back at that time next year. Then you are off a self-guided tour up and down three floors with many rooms of some of the most spectacular costumes you have ever seen. We didn’t have a lot of time unfortunately, but it was well worth it. We had a AAA discount that meant the tickets only cost $24 for four adults.

We did not book a tour. We drove to the site and had a guided tour by a docent. The lady did a wonderful job. She had personal experience as she had been an attendant in an earlier Mardi Gras. The number of displays mostly costumes, was overwhelming. The prices in the gift shop were reasonable, and the price of admission was also reasonable.

We visit this museum every time we are in Mobile. We really enjoy looking at all of the Mardi Gras costumes especially the elaborate outfits created for the Mardi Gras royalty. There is a short film that tells you about the history of Mardi Gras in Mobile then you procede on a self guided tour. We have always visited during the week so it has never been crowded.

Me and two friends visited from England - Theo, Max, and Blumpo (Tom really, but we call him Blumpo for fun). This is a very interesting and educational museum and we were given a guided tour by Cille who was absolutely lovely and a joy to be around. Thank you Cille and all the staff at the Mobile Carnival Museum. Theo, Max, and Blumpo

A very interesting small museum that's well worth visiting when in Mobile. No line to enter and the staff member was very pleasant and helpful. The film at the start is particularly good. I learn a lot about Mardi Gras from my short visit.
