The hubs and I took two of our grandgirls to see this lovely museum. They adored it! Very nice gift shop as well.

Great display of the history of Mardi Gras

Awesome place. Great information. Had a guided tour. Well worth the time. Definitely worth the Money.

Learned a lot coming to this great Museum. Mobile Alabama, the home of Mardi Gras. The costumes are amazing and learning about the origins was definitely worth the tour. At only $8 you can not go wrong! People are very friendly and knowledgeable!!

So cute. Great way to learn about Mardi Gras in the AC. The staff is really knowledgeable and friendly.

Seem like a cool place. It was closed at the time we went.

An incredible collection of Mardi Gras memorabilia, costumes, and artwork from Americas Mardi Gras birthplace. Our docent Craig was charming and informative. Pro tip: do NOT take photos while the docent is speaking.

Fantastic history of the teal Mardi Gras and amazing things to see. Great tour and tons of information by Craig Roberts. Very amazing to see how much time and money goes into the true Mardi Gras and the families that support so many jibs.

If you like museums and have about 3 to 4 hour to kill then this is the place for you!!!! It was my sisters birthday for we had a girls day and we started it at the museum. Im from the area but had never been to the museum, yes shame on me. We enjoyed finding people and places we know and the costumes were unbelievable....my sister took over a 100 pictures and hasnt sheared not a one. So all I can do is say is make sure this is on your bucket list for sure.

Brandon did a terrific job as the tour guide for our group of seven. His knowledge of the history and his enthusiasm for Mardi Gras in Mobile made it fun for us.

Worth the trip! Give yourself time, at least an hour or so, to see everything. Bonus for us was having docent Mr. Craig Roberts provide us with history and answers to questions.

It was a wonderful experience. Gorgeous displays, very well done with style and Southern class. Mrs. Tatum did a wonderful job of guiding our tour and Cille was a pleasure to talk with. Definitely worth the trip.

This place is a must see and is amazing. You wont be disappointed. The selection of gowns and capes and crowns to look at is wonderful. Your jaw will drop and youll feel the need to come back for Mardi Gras. The staff was incredibly friendly and the museum was well maintained.

Shorter than I initially expected but full of great information and sights. The people running it are lovely too!

This museum is primarily showing beautiful king and queen coronation apparel. They also have a variety of other Mardi Gras costumes covering over 100 years of celebration in Mobile. They also have some remarkably well preserved paper posters including paintings of parade floats. Well worth the admission. They offer very good discounts for military and seniors. This will be a place I will recommend to visitors.

We stopped by today because we were wanting to learn more about the history of Mardi Gras, this museum has lots to offer, it can take about 2 hours to do the whole tour, they have a phone service you can use to have a guided tour, prices are reasonable, $8 for adults, $3 for kids and $6 for military or seniors. I recommend stopping by if you are visiting Mobile!

A great collection of the Mardi Gras items.

WONDERFUL tour with L. Craig Roberts! Highly recommend that you catch this on a day when he can lend his lively spirit, historical expertise, and real feeling for the season to your experience. Everyone from the front desk to the executive director was so warm and friendly. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the Mobile Carnival Museum! 💃 🎭 👑

Peggy is an amazing hostess! Super friendly and accommodating! I would go back just to see her! The museum itself was nice. I did a self guided tour, mostly without audio. I got lots of amazing pictures and videos. I went late, so I rushed through. I spent about 45 minutes in total there. I would go back though just to experience it more leisurely.

This place is great!! If youre going to Mobile dont miss it. The intricate work on the costumes you need to see in person.. and the guided tour is fabulous.

We loved it! The stories we heard were very interesting. The displays are gorgeous. The staff there was very knowledgeable.

It was nice. I thought it would be a little bigger but was definitely worth going. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly

Great place!

Really cool place. Much bigger than I thought. Plan to spend some time here. Definitely recommend seeing the movie first and doing the tour to learn about the rich history of Mardi gras in Mobile.

1 of my most favorite tours in Mobile Alabama! Totally informative, educational AND FUN! Worth MORE then the $8!

Wow, an amazing display of history and pageantry. Toni, the gift shop lady, was an incredible source of information and a great representative of southern hospitality. What a wonderful experience!

We opted to do the telephone tour, because we just missed the start of a tour, and didnt want to impose. I was taking a few photos of some of the displays when the docent giving the guided tour came to us and asked if we were informed about the phone guided tours. I answered in the affirmative and he stared at my phone and proceeded to say, You do know what youre doing, right? Otherwise, youre just looking at pretty things. The condescending tone of the guide was such a turn off that we left. Everyone else was amazing, and Im sure the rest of the museum was great, but to be talked to in that manner was not called for.

You cannot miss this museum! It was so interesting and the costumes were out of this world. We had a private tour and he gave us a detailed account of the Mardi Gras history and culture in Mobile.There is also a clear explanation of the mystic societies that date back to 19th century. The masqued balls, the parades, the costumes - all these traditions continue today.We saw some unbelievable King and Queen attire, a video presenting the court, elaborate (and coveted) invitations to the masqued balls.There is also a float you can stand on and pretend you are throwing beads to the thousands of people that line the parade routes up to 3 weeks before Ash Wednesday.I will say this again: this is a MUST SEE museum on your visit to Mobile.

We came to the museum for some Mobile culture and culture we got. The train for the costumes were incredible the tour guide was so Informative. Our guide was Craig. Craig if you are out here I forgot my picture with you but I got all the other stuff. I truly appreciate Mobile Alabama Mardi Gras history.

In addition to being a cool place to visit, it is also a great place to host an event!

Friendly helpful staff.Knowledgeable about mardi gras & mobile, al history. Beautiful displays of costumes.

Awesome museum that gives the details of Mardi Gras in Mobile the original home of this event in the United States. Our docent was really nice, and did a super job explaining everything,even took our pictures at the end.

Very informative about history and traditions of Mardi Gras

This museum is very interesting! My only qualm is that there isnt detailed information on the walls which I find easier and quicker. You have to call a phone number to learn anything which there is about 70 of.

I love this place. The heritage of Mardi Gras in Mobile is great. I really loved all the Queens and Kings clothing from years ago.

We took the tour for five dollars a piece, it was worth it. The tour guide was super informative, and an impressive display of Mobile royalty. Two thumbs up, it turned out to be a great time killer, before the Mardi Gras parade started.

This place is amazing!!! Several floors to explore filled with carnival extravaganza! Im from New Orleans and didnt know anything about Mobile being involved at all! Come learn for yourselves and bring your camera!!!

Wonderful - staff was very knowledgeable!

Great history, cool artifacts

This place is GREAT! Toni was super helpful and so friendly!

Loved it. Super friendly the costumes were amazing. We loved it there. The only Negative was we didnt plan enough time there. So plan to spend time chatting with staff and checking out the entire place.

Awesome museum. Highly recommend the guided tour. Staff was wonderful and very informative.

Great guided tour. Wonderful displays of costumes and other paraphernalia.

A wonderful way to learn about the history of Mardi Gras. The displays from the different Krews are Amazing!

It was great fun and really interesting. Beautiful set out and the history was well presented. And you cant beat the price. I highly recommend it.

Great museum to learn about the history of Mardi Gras parade. Our 2nd visit yesterday.

Great little museum! We have been to Mardi Gras parades before. Now, we learned the back stories to the societies and the history of Mardi Gras. Awesome exhibits and very friendly knowledgeable staff. Would love to see where the floats are made! Dont forget to ask about Ralph !

Nice experience for a couple of hours if you want to learn about origins of the festival. Lots of focus on the beautiful costumes worn by the kings and queens of mardi gras. Two people cost 12 bucks with free parking right next to building.

Really enjoyable. Rich in Mobile history and the clothing exhibits are breathtaking.

Excellent. The curator was very knowledgeable.

Never been here before, but it was really nice and enjoyable

This place is awesome 😎

Interesting guided tour Staff invested in Carnival.

Very interesting learning about Mardi Gras. Tons of beautiful costumes to see.

This place was pretty cool. Lots of history and crazy costumes! Great for class field trips or just to take a day away from the rest of the city. Guided tours are available in addition to the ability to explore this giant house all on your own. Dont miss the Striker goat!

The guided tour was wonderful and informational. The amount of extravagance and opulence was incredible and I would absolutely recommend visiting. Thank you very much for the fun and amazing time.

Mardi Grad info & memorabilia from years ago. Beautiful dresses & masks to see. Guided tours!

A great staff and the displays are amazing!I must see in Mobile!

Very interesting. A lot of history on Madi Gras and its beginning in Mobile.

Love this wonderful museum and the fantastic staff that work there.

Wow...we were so surprised at the quality of this museum! Apparently, Mobile takes Mardi Gras VERY seriously! Loved the collection of wardrobes and all of the historic photos!

Craig our your guide was awesome. And the knowledge and history of mobile was amazing.

Great historical experience to learn the history of Mardis Gras.

This was a great first visit to the Mobile Carnival Museum! Our hostess was so welcoming and she and our tour guide were so knowledgeable about not only Mobile Mardi Gras, but the city itself. I am a native Mobilian and I learned many things on this tour! Thank you for sharing your love of our city and Mardi Gras with us! ❤

Really interesting museum.

Knowledgable tour guide. Enjoyed the colorful stories as much as the MardibGras costumes.

This place is amazing, learn & see real Mardi Gras Parade/King & Queens memorabilia!! We truly enjoyed everything!! Just so beautiful!! #Irma

Great place

Learned a lot about the history of Madi gras

Great history lesson. Ridiculous display of wealth.

If you like history and Mardi Gras, well here is the place for you: very informative displays in a very historic home within walking distance of everything downtown, it is a delightful stop on your tour of our beautiful city.

Very cool place to see I love it

Very interesting. Impressive displays.

Who knew there was more to Mardi Gras than catching beads and moon pies! Very interesting place to visit. Even my friend who lives in Mobile learned a few things about the history of Mardis Gras in Mobile.

Nice museum

Absolutely enjoyed our visit. Fascinating museum that tells the story of Carnival in Mobile. The staff was wonderful and offered other suggestions of where we could eat and visit while we was in Mobile.

A nice tour of the rich history of the original city of Mardi Gras royalty.

The staff was great!

Wonderful collection and beautiful outfits! Took my in-laws from Nevada and my mother in-law loved it!

Wonderful.....eye opening. Had no idea.

Wonderful tour very informative. Beautiful robes on display with other memorabilia. Have taken two of my grandsons and they both enjoyed it.

Fantastic little museum. Take a guided tour if you can. Beautiful costumes and an interactive exhibit for young people. We left with a solid knowledge base of the history of Carnival in Mobile

Im not big into mardi gras, but a friend had a birthday party here. They let us walk around to see the museum and it was pretty interesting to see the history of mardi gras. I enjoyed it

From the moment we entered the door, we were very happy with our experience. With our AAA discount we paid $12 total for two adults. Staff very friendly and helpful. Displays were beautifully set up and there was a lot of information available. We had the option to take a guided tour, but opted for self-guided instead. You can either call a number and enter the display # to hear about that display, or can scan the QR code. The prices in gift shop were very reasonable. I highly recommend.

Exhibits are fantastic! Learned so much about Mobile tradition here.

The opulence of the displays is indescribable. Must be seen to appreciate. A great place to visit

What an interesting place and a great history lesson. Craig was the absolutely the most wonderful guide and a true wealth of knowledge about Mobile. He is truly an amazing ambassador for the city!

Educational and fun. I was up from Florida with a group of 35 from the Travel is Fun travel club. I dont remember our docents name, but he was both entertaining and thoroughly knowledgeable. Overall a great experience.

Well worth the trip, be sure to take the guided tour. Mr. Roberts is an entertaining guide, very amusing; best of all you will know what you are looking at.

O loved it so much

So much fun. Its a lovely building and the exhibits are thoughtfully arranged. Well worth the price of admission. Film is worth seeing too!

A wonderful museum with so much Mardi Gras history. Informative, friendly staff. Free parking on premises, gift shop and restrooms. Easy to find from main roadway - ask about admission discount. Definitely a must see when in Mobile!

Grat place to visit

I visit this place many times a year. Ive taken children on school field trips, attending receptions and other parties. My favorite year of multi-visits was the year I was compiling ideas for my own train.Love this place. Lets hear it for Judy!

Staff did a great job for my granddaughters birthday party. Very unique!

Great place

Really special. Great tour! It is a must stop.

We are new to Mobile and we went to the museum to understand a little about Mardis Gras. This was an awesome experience! So interesting and informative. Cant wait for the parades.

Really cool

Wonderful exhibits, the self guided tour was a breeze, the staff was amazing, and the gift shop was actually reasonable. I will definitely be going back.
