We were visiting Baton Rouge over the holidays and this was recommended to us for our 6 year old…read more It was AMAZING!! We had a blast from the moment we walked into this two story museum of fun! 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!

Today, these kindergarteners got to help out by sorting through the candy, and as you guessed, they loved it! The two guy workers who were here were so informative, fun, and patient with our girls. We got to walk around and tour the first floor and see all the ins and out of the food bank, which was so impressive. I won't attempt to spout any facts I've learned on this tour, except that the GBR Food Bank only has 6 employees, so everything else is volunteers - so cool considering how huge of an organization it is. They do a family night for volunteers on one Tuesday of the month, so we're definitely planning to come back to help! No age minimum, just register ahead of time. As far as helping out the food bank, there are many ways to do it. They said that time is truly the most helpful. However, donating food, donating money, helping to spread the word for others, etc. are all great things. Spread the word and do anything you can to help out our community in need. Lastly, it's not just food that can be donated. They have diapers and dog food too. So many ways to help this great organization.

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.
