About the Venue

PoP Children’s Museum is the younger-child play component inside Sci-Port Discovery Center in downtown Shreveport. Designed for children roughly 6 months through age 8, it combines imaginative play with hands-on STEAM learning in a kid-sized city filled with themed spaces like a café, grocery store, bank, pet vet, and water table. It works especially well for families who want indoor play with the added value of a full museum outing.
