About this place

The Children's Museum of Southwest Louisiana is a museum located in Lake Charles where families can explore and play together. The museum is open to the public and does not require ticket purchase to visit. The venue operates the Petit Lagniappe gift shop in the front lobby of Port Wonder at 1011 N. Lakeshore Drive, with proceeds supporting museum programs, and is developing Let's All Play, a free outdoor park extension designed for families to enjoy along the lakefront.

If you are a member here

A membership to The Children’s Museum of Southwest Louisiana carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
