Bayou Country Children’s Museum offers Louisiana families a unique blend of science and culture suitable for kids aged 2–12. Interactive exhibits blend play with learning to help kiddos absorb lessons easily. Little ones interested in learning about Louisiana's history will enjoy the smattering of cultural exhibits throughout the museum, including a Mardis Gras float and the Miss Clotille, a shrimp boat that encourages kids to explore the world of a real fisherman. Science-minded kids, meanwhile, can learn about nutrition and exercise in the Health and Wellness Gallery, or explore the mechanics behind bridges at the Construction Gallery. Kids can also head to the Performance Gallery to mount a puppet show or finally finish composing their opus on a gigantic floor piano.
