Dinosaurs have invaded New Orleans! In celebration of Audubon Nature Institute’s new exhibit, Dinosaur Adventure, W New Orleans and W French Quarter hotels are offering an exclusive Dino-Snore package, which includes a day of roaming around with 16 lifelike and life-size dinosaurs in an awe-inspiring habitat uniquely created for this limited-engagement exhibit. Families will hear spine-tingling roars and feel the mist of a dinosaur’s breath in this multi-sensory experience.

After a day with the dinos, W helps kids wind down with the perfect bedtime story—a new picture book tribute to all things uniquely New Orleans—Goodnight NOLA, written by Cornell P. Landry and illustrated by Louis J. Schmitt in the spirit of the best-selling classic Goodnight Moon. Visitors of all ages will enjoy this rhythmic salute to red beans and rice, po'boys, celebrated chefs, music, historic landmarks, the sporting scene and many other features of the Crescent City. Goodnight NOLA is an excellent introduction to the Big Easy for young children and a wonderful souvenir for all ages.

Available now through September 15, and starting at $169 at W New Orleans and $189 at W French Quarter, the Dino-Snore package includes:

  • Family of four passes to the Audubon Zoo’s limited engagement Dinosaur Adventure exhibit
  • A copy of the brand-new book Goodnight NOLA to ensure that bedtime always induces powdered sugar sweet dreams
  • And a wonderful room you'll love
