children's museum

There is so much to do at this museum! There are lots of hands-on activities, exhibits for exploring and role-playing for little ones! There are even some live animals and Saturday activities and classes. They even host birthday parties! Very close to I-10 and lots of other downtown attractions!

Took two boys (5 and 3) explored three floors of fun activities, adults had fun too. Many science exhibits that are hands on for the kids to play with.

At the original location on Enterprise Blvd. years ago - LC Children's Museum was an excellent choice for birthday parties, play dates or for a rainy day. HOWEVER, sadly the new version is not similar to the old. I brought my nephew for a birthday party last month and was disappointed by the way the party was handled by staff. Staff was not professional, and the place was a dirty mess. Improvements needed.

Where do I start?1) The diaper changing table in the restroom blocks the door trapping everyone in the stall or blocking the stalls. There is a large loose fire extinguisher on the floor under the sink that my 2 year old knocked over. Fortunately it fell away from her feet instead of on our feet.2) The big kid exhibits are lacking in either educational value or safety. I wouldn't let my 2-year-old play on half of them for fear of getting hurt. There are "exhibits" where the kids swing on ropes. She wandered right in and almost got clobbered. There is another exhibit where you pull yourself up by a rope, but there is a "pinching hazard" with a big warning sign. What happens if the kid can't read? I ended up pulling her off of that "exhibit" for safety reasons. The rest of the "exhibits" were mediocre. She liked the water feature. The shopping store was pretty standard for children's museums.3) The toddler/infant area was a padded room with 2...yes 2...toys. The plugs were not child proofed and there is a table and chairs blocking the fire exit. Personally I don't like table and chairs in a baby area because babies are learning to pull up. Chair topple (see photo). Lose the chairs and add some toys. There was a padded feature for climbing and mirrors.We drive to Disneyworld at least once a year and are always in search of good places to let the kids get out of the car and play. We agreed we would never stop here again.

Wouldn't recommend going...the place was dirty, things were broken, place was just not kept. Not sure if it was because of birthday parties going on but dont think thats should be an excuse of why items were everywhere and things broken. The bubble room had no bubbles for the kids to play with too. Wasn't very impressed...dont think I will be going back.

I will never again bring my children here nor have a birthday party here. Its suppose to be a "Children's Museum" but your kids can even make any noise during a party. They were so rude when it was time for them to clean up they only gave us 2 minutes to get our stuff out. When I took us at least 5 minutes. We had to take two trips to get our stuff out! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE FOR PARTIES OR JUST TO PLAY! They are SO RUDE! I will take my money to CHUCKIE CHEESE NEXT TIME!

we had a birthday party and they were very rude and told us we had to be quiet. what children want to sit and be quiet at a bday party. never will i come again

When in Lake Charles and you have the chance to bring your children the Children's Museum located on Broad St is a great idea. I was pleasantly surprised at what there was to offer at this neat children's wonderland.

Maybe it's because I'm use to the Indianapolis Children's Museum, but this place was a bit worn and not much to do. I can see this place being a good activity for a rainy day, but if you're just vacationing, I wouldn't bother. My four year old had much more fun feeding/chasing ducks nearby than this place.

My sisters and daughters were here to visit us. All of us enjoyed a lot. Most of the activities are entertaining. Don't forget to grab your cameras and little bit of snacks/drinks as it will take atleast 3 hours to come out. Will definitely go again to watch kids playing. Happy kids, Happy parents.

great place for the kids, both young and old!!............lots to learn and see about the area in the forms of interactive and static displays..Take a break from the outdoors and take the kids here!!!

His grandparents too him here and he really enjoyed it. We felt that the price was steep but he had no complaints. I would recommend that the price be dropped for parents who bring their children must watch and should have an incentive to return though but there was alot to do and he had lots of fun.

My kids loved this museum. They are four and two. There is so much to see and do, you really need to plan on being there four or more hours. My kids were not ready to leave when we had too. I will bring them back again and budget more time for them to play in each exhibit as long as they would like.

We've gone a few times and my boys love it. Both times there was hardly anyone there so they were able to do everything without being pushed around. Exhibits are very clean.

I bring my grandkids there all the time and they love it. It is so much fun for them, and so much fun to watch them have fun while they learn. I just wish they had more places to sit for us 'old' people. The kids never sit, they are always moving from one thing to another. Well worth the money and time.
