Read more about this location
Louisiana Children's Discovery Center is a hands-on children's museum in downtown Hammond that works well as an indoor play-and-learn outing for babies through about age ten. Families can move through interactive exhibits at their own pace, stay for several hours, and even leave and return the same day. It is a better fit for curious kids who enjoy imaginative exhibits and slower exploration than for families seeking a giant indoor climber.
