I've been to a few children's museums, and this was my least favorite. I was a little disappointed because I expected there to be more exhibits and there were a few areas in need of some serious TLC. My 8 year old daughter didn't seem to mind, so I guess from a child's point of view it was pretty good.... More

If u have kids, then this place rocks! Lots of stuff to do here for the little guys. It can get crowded and then it's a bit hectic. But usually OK.

As a child I visited and always enjoyed. Now, as a parent, I have even more fun with my toddler son and young nephews. They adore the boat section! If you have never been and have young children it is a must-go for a good afternoon. Not sure if they still do it, but there was a time we got... More

This is a great place for kids visiting new orleans. It has something for all ages. Toddlers to teens can find something just for them. Separate area for art projects and area for 2years and under. My daughter loved the play grocery store and cooking in the kids cafe.
