A great place for young kids my 3.5yo spent 4 hours there without getting bored for a moment. To us parents it may look somewhat outdated, but the kids just dont care, plus we liked the fact that the different rooms and corners are sponsored by small, local businesses. Just wonderful. Cost us $21 entrance to both parents and 1 child, and it was very worth it. Also, coolest restroom ceiling ever (see photos).

Lovely place to spend a rainy afternoon with young children.Not very big, but a lot of cute details - enough to keep the kids busy for a couple of hours.Ours (aged 2, 4 and 6) loved the make-believe veterinarian, supermarket (with working cash registers) and restaurant. Also area with dinosaur toys, soap bubble factory etc.Nice museum store as well with cool toys.

We visited the Childrens Museum of Acadiana not long after moving here Spring 2019. We immediately decided to join the yearly membership and are so glad we did. We have been probably 15-20 times this year with our 3 and 5 year olds. They love it every single time!! New, the small playground outside is a lot of fun and has artificial grass so it will hold up better when it rains! We will definitely be renewing our membership this year! The staff is always nice and accommodating. All of the exhibits are fun; Veterinarians office, supermarket, restaurant, ambulance, bubbles, news station, dinosaurs, barnyard and more!

This place is great! My 2yr old played nonstop for hours & had to bribed to leave. I will say, the adults should probably be well caffeinated because its probably going to be a long day. The admission is good for all day so youre able to leave (especially good if your little one still takes naps) and return later. The staff is so friendly & helpful. Well definitely be returning soon.

Our family loves the childrens museum. Its a great place to visit for a while and let them explore in a safe environment. Theyre also updating their exhibits so that every couple of months you get to experience something new. The staff is always kind and helpful. This is also a great location to have a birthday party. Not only is it fun for the kids but they make it so easy for the parents. Very happy that we decided to purchase the membership so that we can go as often as our little ones want.

Great place for kids. Only problem was that everything felt sticky/dirty. I think the place needs a good long wipedown scrub type cleaning.

I want to give this museum a better review really I do but its so much smaller than your lead to believe. Its pretty affordable, but I truly expected more. Theres alot of pretend centers but only a one STEM activity. Its essentially a large play room.

The Easter hunt was great! So many kids get to run around and look for the eggs. With all the other activities for egg dying and slim making our kid had a blast. Super thank you to all the staff and volunteers there to help with event.

Love this place. You are always greeted with a smile and the kids just take off running in different directions. Theres so much for them to do,learn,and experience. From a veterinary center to a doctors office, puppeteering,grocery store diner,dentist, real ambulance that they can sit and drive or ride along in the back, there is an art room with new crafts everytime, newsroom,outerspace,and then they have leggos and blocks, magnetic table and felt board and lets not forget the awesome bubble area. Its so fun and the adults get to be kids again. They host birthdays and even clean up the mess.
