We especially enjoyed the dance room, the arts room, the vet office, and the grocery store. So many fun opportunities for learning and only $15 per person - a great way to spend hours for very little money. Also appreciate that they don't let in adults who are not accompanying children - a nice safety check! Everything was clean, fresh, and the staff were all so friendly! Definitely recommend to anyone w young children!

This is quite easily the best children's museum that I have ever been to, hands-down. There are so…read moremany different areas for kids to explore. There are activities on the first and second floor. There are things to do and see and get dirty and get all hands on, both inside and outside. The staff are so friendly. The ones who are working in certain hands on areas are very good about maintaining clean working environments not just for themselves, but for the children as well. You have everything from stem learning areas to the artist garden, and the pelican pottery area. There is an area where kids learn about bubbles and the Girl Scouts had an event today where they were learning about the solar system. There is just so much for kids to see and do here. Admission is $15 but I can tell you, it is worth absolutely every penny. If I lived any closer, I would easily pay the $100 for the membership. That would be entirely worth it. There is this one structure that looks like a bunch of piled up both open and closed books. It is actually a climbing structure for the kids. It extends from the base floor all the way up to the second floor, which is the main level. It is quite a sight to see your child hook their head up from the structure up and over the guard rails on the second floor. The kids here were so friendly. They were very friendly and no one was pushy. The parents are also allowed to climb on the structure. That was pretty cool. I don't know about you, but I don't trust my knees. I would rather not slide or fall off anything that I really shouldn't have had any business climbing up all over on anyway. We met some really great people here. We had such an amazing & lovely time here!

They always have fantastic presenters, open it up for caregivers as well as professionals, and are very warm and welcoming. I've been going to these every month for nearly a year now and always look forward to them. The organization is a must for anyone affected by Alzheimer's or dementia in general. They have an adult day care (Charlie's Place) with a great reputation, support groups, a plethora of resources for caregivers and professionals, and such knowledgable staff. I honestly wish I had time to spend a day here or at least go on a tour, so perhaps I'll ask about that next time I go. I had the pleasure of attending the lunch-n-learn this month that was presented by the nurse who started the first Alzheimer's support groups in Baton Rouge years ago, and this was eye opening for me. She was so heartfelt in her presentation and truly portrayed the importance of education and support with any life limiting, chronic illness. I can't say it enough how much I love this organization...hence the Yelp review to spread the word for them! Go and check them out, and spread the word please!

The staff are super friendly and helpful, and I love the bright, cheerful atmosphere inside the building. The high ceilings and clerestory windows, plus the open floor plan, give the facility an airy, spacious feeling. Another reviewer commented that the building is sometimes cold. That is true, probably because heated air tends to rise to the high ceiling. Most days you can see some patrons exercising in shorts while others are wearing full sweatsuits including hoods. So different people have different temperature preferences. It's easy to keep a sweatshirt in your gym bag.

Think high tea with scones and tidbit plates with the chandeliers brightly lit. Unfortunately, it wasn't set up like this, but it doesn't hurt to visualize, right? When I went, the venue was set up with rows of chairs and 2 grand pianos up front. Still quite lovely. It definitely could use a few updates, but not too many because it will take away from the historical feel of the space. I am not sure what else this space is most used for, but it's nice to know that it exists because I'd love to let more people know about it! It's definitely a hidden gem in downtown Baton Rouge.
