"Slated to open at the end of summer 2019 in City Park, the new Louisiana Children's Museum—a campus for kids, really—will focus on hands-on, interactive, and educational activities. (Until then, the museum’s original Julia Street location is open.) The 8.5-acre property has interactive and sensory experiences at every turn. Inside are spaces such as the Play With Me room, designed for babies and toddlers, which includes a puppet theater and reading nook. There’s also the Follow that Food space, where kids can shop for veggies, weigh and count fruit, and "cook" in a Creole kitchen. Outside, there’s a sensory garden, a lawn with toddler toys, and a lagoon." - Stirling Kelso
