GIFT CARDS AVAILABLE!
When you purchase a gift card to the Children’s Museum of Acadiana, you’re giving more than just one gift. Not only does the recipient of your gift card receive something priceless – Museum experiences with loved ones – the CMA receives the gift of your support. The Children’s Museum of Acadiana is a nonprofit organization that receives NO government funding except as periodically awarded grants which means we rely on our guests and supporters like you to keep the doors open and lights on!
Your gift card purchase – which can be used for annual memberships, one-time visits, or gift store items – supports the CMA to provide high-quality exhibits and programming that gives families with young children educational enrichment experiences in a safe and nurturing environment. We would be lying if we said the Museum hasn’t taken a financial hit from the pandemic – 2020 has been the most challenging year since the CMA opened. Since 1996, the CMA has provided children, their families, and educators a creative environment with interactive exhibits and programs. With your purchase of a CMA gift card the Museum you contribute to the CMA’s effort to navigate through these challenging times so that the Museum continues to delight children and their caregivers for decades to come.
The e-gift card will be available to download within your emailed receipt:
