Louisiana Art & Science Museum

I had such an incredible time at the art and science museum! 🧪🎨 There was so much to see and learn, I could have spent all day there. 🤩 It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. The museum offered so many interactive displays, making it a fun and engaging experience for all ages. Just a heads up, parking is easy to find on the street, but it is metered. Don't forget to pay!

I was surprised by how nice the museum was. The number of ancient Egyptian artifacts was stunning and there is even an actual mummy on display. Furthermore, the movie about Egyptian burial practices was both entertaining and informative. We loved it!

We decided to give this a shot since entry was free for veterans. We were pleasantly surprised. We got to watch a planetarium show on mummies and my kids (5&10) were enthralled with the mummy exhibit and my youngest cannot stop talking about how she got to see a “real life mummy”. We also really enjoyed the kids play area and are now on the hunt for a magnetic marble run wall like they had. I had to peel my son away from it when it was time to go.

Really cool museum! We brought our 13 month old and one month old and it definitely helped with beating the Louisiana heat! There’s a planetarium that has short movies on the hour. We watched one about space and another about mummies. Both of which were engaging for not only the adults but even our 13 month old was intrigued. Military/Veterans/Fiest responders & family can enjoy for free which is a big plus in my book!

SO COOL!!!! They had plenty of Egyptian artifacts to look at and learn about. They had an interactive science area with crafts and activities. The Planetarium area had an amazing movie section where yey screen different educational films

I will say that this is the first time I’ve been disappointed visiting a museum. I mean $15 to see what? No wonder the place was a ghost town. We were barely there for 30 minutes. The exhibits were bare and even the best exhibit, the Egyptian exhibit, was underwhelming. The place stated that you’re not allowed to take photos or videos of the mummy there but sorry, we’re getting the most out of that $15 we spent there! This museum should either be free or $5 at maximum. I’ve paid $10 for way larger museums but this isn’t it. As a Louisiana native, this was unacceptable. I felt bad that my mom didn’t have a good time. Your money will be well spent at one of the neighboring museums such as the USS Kidd. That would be my suggestion, go elsewhere and save your money 💯

We got to explore this museum on the first Sunday of the month and it was Marvelous. I do recommend to get there early to get free parking and it wouldn't be full. Around 3 in the afternoon it got super full but we finished everything around 2-3 hours and we got to see the planetarium shows. The service was perfect, they welcomed us in and were super patient with our questions and they listened.

I go to science museums in every city I travel to and this is the first one that was an epic fail. Only highlight is the mummy and maybe touching a meteor. Hard pass on this and spend your time at the LSU museum on campus instead where you can see the stuffed tiger.
