Around you go to finish where you started. You could spend all day here learning about the history of Louisiana through the informative dioramas, the artifacts, and the historical paintings. It is amazing. The dioramas each represent a way of life, a major event, an industry. or a period in history. It is like watching a historical movie, only nothing is moving. It is free!

It was an excellent opportunity to learn more about the state. The building is beautiful and the exhibits consists of a bunch of amazing dioramas among other things. We were really impressed and spent an ample amount of time viewing the exhibits. I had no idea that salt mining was a thing in Louisiana and enjoyed learning more about it. I'd love to stop by again if I'm back in the area.

The Shreveport Railroad Museum is next door to the water plant and it too is free. It is small and…read morepacked full of small railroad memorabilia items. Railroad history buffs and kids will love it. For the kids there is a model train set up like a city and another train on the wall that circles the inside of the building. It is about a ten- or fifteen-minute walk through. It is worth the time.

It's relatively small but coupled with the water works tour next door it makes for an excellent edition on the museum tour of north west Louisiana. I highly recommend both.

We sat at the very back and people in the front would have had to lean back to see the planetarium screen view. My seat did not lean back, not sure if ones at front did.

Secondly, a lot of the older cool science things needed some tlc. Like the pull yourself up clearly need some love and wd40 and the spin the tire and sit on a stool wasn't working. So it seemed like several of the older science experiments we wanted to show our kids just kept being a bust. However; they still have a lot of fun stuff to do here and if you're under 8 they have the great little village play thing on the second floor! But they could clean those toys in there a little better, my hands felt gross touching all the toys my kids brought me.. Overall it's still a great place! Just turn up the AC a tad and give the place a little more care!

The Shreveport aquarium is a gem of the Ark-La-Tex. I have been to aquariums in New Orleans, World…read moreof Wonders in Springfield Missouri, the aquarium in Dallas, Tennessee, and Georgia. This may sound a bit strange but of all those aquariums I enjoy the Shreveport aquarium the most. It's just a enjoyable place to chill out and recharge. When we visit massive, hundred million dollar aquariums, we are often herded through the exhibits with hundreds of people. It is hard to truly enjoy an aquarium in that type of environment. Plus, how many fish do you really want to see? At the Shreveport aquarium my wife and I will often sit in the first opening gallery for 10 or 15 minutes. Soft instrumental music is playing and the fish are gingerly pecking at a coral reef or playing with one another. If a loud child and family comes in all you have to do is wait about 90 seconds and they will pass through. Enjoy their excitement and sense of wonder. We can also spend 10 minutes at the Shark Tank and another 10 or 15 minutes with the stingrays. Most of the other exhibits we view a little more quickly. Sometimes a staff member is eager to tell you about a new addition or some type of exciting aquatic behavior. This is a small aquarium, but what it has, it does very well. If you go, take the time to pause and chill out an among the hundreds of finny creatures. This is a different type of aquarium experience. Check the website for feeding times. My wife and I each have an annual pass which cost $50 a year each. It is well worth it.

I think, we took our time and still did everything in like 30 mins. It's such a shame since the surrounded area was BEAUTIFUL! I thought the gemstone area was cool. Not sure if I would consider it part of the aquarium. This is very comparable to and equally as disappointing as the sea life aquarium in downtown San Antonio. Save your money and time. If you're anywhere near Corpus Christi go to the Texas State Aquarium. That is what a true aquarium should be, and it's by far the most fun and worth every dime! This is a place for toddlers in our opinion. The highlight was hand feeding rays. That's it, didn't ruin our trip thanks to the rest of the cool places around! Don't waste your time or money here.
