New Orleans is a great place, but I don't think of it as a family-oriented town. That's why it was great to visit National Audubon's Insectarium on the edge of the Garden District.

The place offers a great overview of the insect world, with lots of live examples, including a captivating butterfly room.

They even offer free food — insect delicacies like mealworm cookies and seasoned crickets.

One bite and you'll be itching for more.
