Louisiana Children's Museum on Postcard

"A climbing wall, eye exhibit (where kids can see what it would feel like to see the world through the eyes of a honeybee, rabbit, or hawk), and a mock grocery store are just a few of the exhibits here, which is a great place to let a little one run wild on a rainy afternoon. There's a lot on display that's specific to the region, too, ensuring a mini history lesson."

"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

I love taking my boys to children museums! It's fun for the entire family. We were visiting the area and found this one. It sits on Beautiful land with a lake out front. There is a Cafe on one side. I was able to order fruit& a glass of wine to sit out by the water.

The Children's Museum and restaurant provided a wonderful experience. The environment was warm and inviting, with plenty of alligators and turtles waiting for any leftovers, adding a fun touch. Kids were entertained while learning, and the engaging activities ensured they slept well that night. Highly recommended for a fun and educational outing!

Lots of fun activities for kids, but its pretty small. Only 2 floors. Even when my nephew played with everything, it still only took little over an hour to finish

Our 5-year-old granddaughter LOVED this place. The play kitchen area rocked and we blew a four-foot bubble, and fed turtles and a gator while eating a really good lunch. We'd spent a day at the Aquarium and one at the Insectarium...a waste of time and $ compared to the museum.

6 months ago we came and this was a 5 star place to bring your kids. Today we were very disappointed in the lack of general upkeep of the activities. -The bead moving factory toy was almost completely out of beads. The missing beads were all on the floor and could be cleaned up in reality then put back into the toy. -The flowing water activity stunk! You would think adding a little chlorine would help this. The list goes on, but for the price it was disappointing to see the lack of general maintenance that has occured this quickly.

We really enjoyed visiting this children's museum with our children ages 10, 8, and 5. The exhibits were well designed and allowed for a lot of open-ended play and exploration. I'm a teacher and my husband is a play therapist, so we place a high value on quality play opportunities; this place fits the bill!

This place is amazing. The location is gorgeous and the museum itself is spacey and so much fun. They have an outside space that is relaxing and huge and an inside space that is incredibly well designed. My new favorite kids museum. All the windows open onto the museum grounds and showcase the weeping willows and the pond in front. The first floor has a large kitchen and grocery store. Pebble play area, sediment water feature and vet area. There is also a separate space for kids up to 4 yrs old.The second floor has a water area, art area, music room, building block area and a few smaller spaces. There are bookshelves against the walls, seating in front of all the windows and lots of seating for parents. This place was very thoughtfully designed. Highly recommend.

Such a great place to take little ones. There’s so many different activities to do. It would take multiple trips to do it all! There’s a water play area, so I recommend bringing a change of clothes in case your kiddo gets a little wet. The LCM membership is worth it if you plan to go more than twice a year! We went during a special event weekend and there were so many fun activities set up. There’s a toddler play area for smaller children that my son loves and also a good mix between indoor & outdoor activities.
