It was awesome. You learn about the history of voodoo & then you get to make a voodoo doll. It was well worth it. I would take this class again!

Definitely a must do, sooo much fun and our instructor had alot of knowledge of many things around New Orleans . I already want to go back and do it again.

Very hands on. But lots of help for those like me that are not very "crafty". Aurora was our instructor and she was very good.

Dakota was awesome and I learned a lot while having a fun time. If you’re on the fence, just go for it.

Aurora and Anderson were wonderful! They were such great teachers and very helpful. They made it a fun time for all of us - age 11, 24 and 65! I would highly recommend adding this to your NOLA activity list,

This was a high light of our trip. Anderson was fantastic. This experience was unique, informative, and so much fun. If you want to know more about voodoo, this is the activity to do. I wish I could give more than five stars because it certainly was a ten star adventure.

This was even more fun than I anticipated. Dakota and Ron were a blast and quite helpful. Highly recommend.

Anderson and Dakota were so much fun! Highly recommend this educational experience. Walk away with your very own creation too.
Pamela_C, Jun 2026
This was so much fun. Lots to learn about the history of these dolls. Making one yourself and understanding what they are used for makes all the difference!
Joseph_K, May 2026
Really fun. Everyone can do their own. Each is different and help is available. examples are on table but everyone in our group did their own choosing of colors, feathers, buttons

Best experience in NOLA! Andersen was an amazing host with a vast knowledge of history, personality and entertaining! We all loved this experience and you’re missing out if you don’t do it!

Great fun but hard to find location. You need to be a bit nimble with your fingers but help always available

Anderson and Ron were great! I really enjoyed learning the history of voodoo and its similarities to catholicism. They were very detailed in explaining and demonstrating how to make the doll and were there to help every step of the way. Great experience overall and I love the healing and protection doll I made for myself.

This was an absolutely fabulous experience which we both enjoyed immensely. It wasn't just about making the dolls there was some background information and history on voodoo which I felt was very informative. Anderson and Dakota who took the class were very friendly and informative and Norma the cat was an added bonus! The class was relaxed and unrushed with opportunities to ask questions and help given where needed. Well worth the money paid and the most enjoyable trip so far on our itinerary.

Great introduction to hoodoo and root work. Anderson and Dakota are knowledgeable and friendly, and provided a terrific and thorough background of the dolls and their history in New Orleans. The experience is an entertaining, creative, and practical hands-on lesson. Fantastic way to spend an evening in NOLA.

This was a fun time. We went on a Friday night (our last night in town) and just getting there was exciting (people everywhere, music in the streets, just amazing). Making our own voodoo dolls, and learning what voodoo dolls were really for, was a great experience. For non-crafty people like me, there was plenty of help, so don't worry about that part. The shop the class was in also had a lot of neat things in it, and I eyed a lot of things I wanted to buy while I was making my doll (all reasonably priced and no one suggested buying anything, fyi). The class consisted of about 10 people including my sister and I, and the two teachers were a hoot. It was a great way to meet people (wish I had done it earlier in the week) and it was just an overall good time!

Anderson presented a great overview of culture and history of voodoo. He made the topic relatable to everyone in a respectful and inclusive way.
Ruth_W, Apr 2026
Aurora and Anderson led a delightful voodoo doll workshop. The doll is a wonderful New Orleans souvenir.
Kristen_H, Mar 2026
Very fun, and so helpful, Anderson even let me use his reading glasses 👓 be ause I had misplaced my own.

I booked this experience for my 12 year old daughter and me on a whim as something unique to do and it ended up being a highlight of our trip! It far exceeded our expectations, thanks to our instructor, Dakota, who was SO patient with us. And just a kind human to boot! I could listen to Dakota’s stories for hours; they have so much interesting knowledge and history to share and I feel privileged to have heard a piece of it. The dolls themselves were a lot of fun to make and we were both really impressed with how many options there were to customize our dolls to make them truly our own. We are really excited to have these special and unique souvenirs to take home as well as the memories of the whole experience. My daughter keeps asking if we can do the exact same class again, specifically with Dakota, before we go home - she wants to go back tomorrow! And as if that all wasn’t enough, our class was graced with a cameo by Norma the cat! If you ask my daughter, Norma might be the best cat ever, so fluffy, sweet, and playful! I will absolutely be recommending Dakota and this class to any friends and family headed to NOLA in the future. Thank you Dakota, Unique NOLA, and Norma for an enjoyable and unforgettable experience!

This was so much fun! Anderson was a great teacher. We learned a lot about voodoo and he was really able to personalize the experience with our group!
Charli_H, Feb 2026
What a truly unique and fun class!! Aurora did an awesome job walking us through the intricate history and all the steps of voodoo doll making! Can’t recommend this enough as a must do activity when in New Orleans!
Christopher_B, Feb 2026
It was fun and great. The spirit was fun and great and the people were very nice and they was helpful
Kyle_J, Jan 2026
Andersen gave an amazing talk before we started about the history of the dolls that was fascinating. Very laid back VERY fun experience!
Gary_A, Jan 2026
This was one of the most fun things we did while in NOLA. Our host was AWESOME and very patient with us while we put together our unique voodoo dolls. Truly something fun and different to do while in NOLA!
Jean_O, Nov 2025
This is not a dark magic hoaxing type of voodoo. It’s very spiritual, explains the connectivity to other religions and is more about setting an intention.

Super Workshop more than 2 hours with great info about voodoo and history. This course can only be recommended.
