Mornings at the Museum
The Children’s Museum of Acadiana is hosting monthly sensory-friendly mornings. These offerings are exclusive to families of children with ASD (Autism spectrum disorder) or sensory processing disorders. We limit the number of families who can attend, turn down sounds and lights, and provide adaptive equipment such as noise-reducing headphones and weighted vests. Best of all, admission is completely free for participating families thanks to The Stuller Family Foundation.
S.T.E.A.M. Kids Sundays
Learning can be fun! S.T.E.A.M Kids Sundays are filled with education enrichment activities offered on the last Sunday of each month between 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm to CMA guests. CMA educators have identified many interactive STEM activities that expose kids to a wide variety of STEM education concepts and augment knowledge they learn in school.
Located in the Museum’s Courtyard, Harmony Park features a commercial-grade play structure offering families an outside “hands-on” experience that inspires physical activity, interactivity and creative play. Open at no cost during normal operating hours and after hours for special events. cmalaf/calendar.
Very nice set up for children to play with real-life experiences. Vet, ambulance, dentist, fun bubbles, groceries, and more. The experience is a timed entrance and that allows more space for the children without being rushed. – Sharon S.

It’s always a fun time at the Children’s Museum. The exhibits are always changing and there are so many things to explore. We attended a birthday party where the staff members helped the children make slime. It was so fun! Along with the wide variety of entertainment indoors, there is a wonderful outdoor play area. The museum is located in a beautiful section of downtown lafayette. We love this place!! – Hali S.
My kids LOVE the museum. They have been a lot and still light up when I tell them we’re going. My 3 year old’s favorite thing is the mock Super One. My 10 year old is a big fan of the bubble factory. – Holly W.
