My kids absolutely LOVED this museum. I don't see us back in NOLA anytime in the near future, but my daughter (8) tells everyone, "When we go back to New Orleans we are definitely going to go to the Children's Museum." My kids were NOT happy when we had to leave. They could have stayed in the WinnDixie A-L-L D-A-Y.... More

Conveniently located, the museum was a short walk from several of the area hotels. It's not what you would think from the outside, as it looks like a warehouse with bright blue shutters. My nearly two year old ran around exploring the museum for over two hours. Most of our time was spent on the second floor. There are a... More

I took my 2 and a half year old son here while vacationing in New Orleans. It was conveniently located and affordable but there weren't too many things for kids his age. We ended up staying in the toddler play area for the entire time. There was a really great toddler circle time and the staff was great. The only... More

I had been told that this was an excellent children's museum, and having been to some great examples of the genre in other cities I was really excited. I could see that this had been a great offering at one time, but it seems to be a bit dated and in need of maintenance now. Fortunately my son was still... More

It was really dirty when we were there. I'm not really sure if any one was working. Lots of people standing around. Lots of kids running around unsupervised. Could have been better. We won't stop there again.

This museum is an affordable alternative to most New Orleans attractions. It was $8 per person, which covered the whole day, come and go as you please. In reality, a couple hours is probably as much as you will spend. There are 2 floors of activities for kids. My son is 2 and really enjoyed the toddler area (trains, slides,... More

My husband and I took our 18-month-old daughter today while visiting New Orleans. The museum does not seem to have been updated in some time and most of the areas could use some cleaning, repairing and updating. The best part about the museum for us was the toddler area. Our children's museum at home does not have a toddler area,... More

The Children's Museum has so many interactive activities. New Orleans is about history, and for kids, the Children's Museum is about fun for the whole family!!!

This 2 story childrens museum has a lot of the normal things you see at children's museums, bubble room, train tables but it has a lot more. But there is a lot more that is especially themed to let you know where you are the great city of New Orleans. One room is made of recycled items and creates a... More

There is plenty to do here - interactive fun for the whole family. The Museum continues to expand without losing it's core strength of being a happy place for the whole family.
