Whether you choose to drive to the North End Terminal or leave your car near Beale St., be sure and make the short drive to the award winning downtown community known as Harbor Town. This growing self-contained community blends an abundance of porches, balconies, small shops and a school along its winding roads. Harbor Town can be reached by crossing over the Auction St. bridge, located just north of the Pyramid Arena. If you are impressed with Harbor Town but want to check out some other downtown attractions, you are literally right next door to the Pyramid Arena and Mud Island. Children under 4 can take the tour for free.
Parking is available on the north and south sides of the arena.
Mud Island is a great attraction for anyone interested in the history of the Mississippi River. The River Walk, a five block-long scale model of the Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois, to the Gulf of Mexico is impressive. The Mississippi River Museum is an 18-gallery presentation of historical life on the Mississippi. Parking for Mud Island is located next to the main entrance at 125 N. Front St. Children under 4 are admitted free.
