Louisiana, one of the most multicultural and multilingual states, is waiting to deliver family fun. Get into the outdoors and up to a good time, hunt animal encounters, or sneak in some culture and science exploration.
Explore Louisiana's 22 state parks in which kids can roam wild. Enjoy boating, fishing, camping, hiking, and carefully observing wildlife with your children. In Southwest Louisiana, the Cajun Riviera awaits beach goers. Activities are endless, including crab digging, sun bathing, and tracking down sea shells. Set up a tent and sleep under the stars at a campground pressed against the beach’s edge or pull up the RV for seaside comfort. Then hike the quarter mile beach heaven and help your kids gather epic treasures washed onto the sand. Don't forget to trek through the swishing grasses of the nearby marshes and parade onto the prairie for a whole different ecosystem experience.
For young animal lovers, Louisiana's got the goods. Take off down America’s wetland birding trail, which winds through 22 Louisiana parishes and offers 115 bird watching sites. Listen for the chirping of the Prothonotary Warbler or watch for Blue Herons. Pick out Brown Pelicans at the Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge and make memories your little one will never forget, then run into reptiles at the gator swamp tour. The state’s wetlands provide fantastic alligator experiences, so be sure to take a guided tour to listen to their stories and meet a gator.
Find unique Louisiana culture and exciting science with the kids. Rocket into summer science learning at the Sci-Port Louisiana Science Center. Hit the center's hands-on activities designed to appeal to visitors of all ages. Discover the human body with a tour through biology and launch space inspired imagination in the planetarium, something your little astronomer will love. Then venture into the French Quarter in The Crescent City for a dose of Spanish and French culture. Tour magnificent mansions, like the Beauregard-Keyes house, and let kids see how life was lived 100 years ago.
