About the Venue

Children’s Museum of St. Tammany is a hands-on museum in Mandeville that doubles as a very good indoor-play option for younger children. Instead of a single large climbing structure, families will find interactive exhibit zones, imaginative play setups, and kid-scaled spaces built for exploration and learning. It is a particularly good fit for babies through early elementary ages, especially on rainy days when families want indoor movement without the intensity of a trampoline park. Regular admission is straightforward, and the museum also participates in Museums for All pricing.
