Where curiosity grows, families connect, and learning comes to life.
For 30 years, the Children’s Museum of Acadiana (CMA) has been a vibrant hub of curiosity, creativity, and learning in the heart of Downtown Lafayette, Louisiana. Since opening our doors in 1996, we’ve welcomed families, schools, and communities from across the region to learn, explore, and play together in an environment designed for discovery.
