Reviews of Louisiana Art & Science Museum (Museum)

Mary Beth Fatherree

I went here today on a field trip with my first grade child. The staff was so welcoming and organized from the beginning. They were ready and waiting for us. More than one school showed up for a field trip on the same day. But we were never crowded or rushed through because they split us up and smaller group good. The lady who narrated the planetarium was incredible. She was so great with the kids. Children were everywhere and the staff was always patient and kind. The children learned so much while they were there... My son is especially interested in space and dinosaurs so he was thrilled. Just can't say how impressed I was because the staff was incredible. I even told them several times how great they were. Best school field trip I've been to in a while.

They told us we were not allowed to take pictures throughout more than half the museum. They wouldn't let me n the movie with my baby. The only interesting thing was the mummy. I feel as if I've wasted $40. Lame!

Great place to bring the kids. I used to have a blast here on school trips when i was younger

Caleb Babin

Its pretty cool!

This is a favorite spot of our family in Baton Rouge! Any day you go you will be exposed to a large exhibit of artist's work and hands on learning about the art (ex. how to draw a self portrait or learning perspective making a city scape). I enjoy these activities as much as the kids. They have a great hands on science room that makes learning fun. On the weekends they have science labs sponsored by BASF for kids 6 and older, the teachers are energetic and helpful. These alone are worth admission if you don't have a membership. The next room that my kids have to go in every time we are at LASM is the play room, my older kids even love this room because they have a separate crafting room inside it!! All the glue, fabric scraps, beads, crafty-messy goodness that you can leave there!! We spend around 2 hours on average when we go but can easily stay longer especially if we do an Imax.

Love taking my kids here! Great place to teach them and help them gain insight and experience.

We love LASM! The children's area is fun, clean and Ms. Pauline is the BEST! She's always friendly, she takes the time to know the kids and parents who visit, and she keeps the area safe and organized. I highly recommend it, especially if you have small children.

It told us about a lot of history. In the planetarium it is almost as if your actually in the world they are projecting

Karen Carlisle

Something for all ages. Knowledgeable docents. Changing exhibits and hands-on activities for children.

Heidi Eschete

Very boring. Nothing about this place was exciting. Pricey for barely nothing.

Oris & Tonya Williams

Our kids had such a great time at the Red Stick STEM Event today! It was fun, interactive and educational! We look forward to more STEM Events in the future.

Donnis Furr Sealey

Had a great time with the kiddos here.

From fine art to an Egyptian mummy to a children's play/learn area, a really nice museum

Kory Sonnier

Great place to take the kids

Sarah Senne

Great place to bring your kids year round.

Jada Marie

This is a wonderful place to visit and work. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and is dedicated to create opportunities for children to learn. I especially love bringing my nephew and niece to the two hands-on activity rooms and they both get so excited about being able to explore and play there! This museum offers a great space for school groups to tour and engage in educational classes and activities as well!

Great place for children to visit..

Hands on activities for kids

There were some cool elements, like the charcoal drawings currently on display. The planetarium, which we were not even planning on going in was the best part. Really cool interactive pieces. If I had done a little more research and realized it was mainly for children (there is a cool kid's zone and some other interactive things that, while adults could definitely take part in, it is designed for kids), I probably would have crossed it of our list. And considering it had the highest entrance fee ($9) of anything we did, I definitely would recommend seeing one of the other art museums instead. I was also surprised at how small it is. We walked through it in less than an hour. If you have kids, then maybe check it out. Otherwise, time and money could be spent better elsewhere.

It was the best! Wonderful activities for all ages not one dull moment!

Marcia Polk

The whole family loved it. The information is unbelievable and amazing. There are scheduled films and documentaries and the set up of the theater is set up very unique. Also, there are experiments that you can sign up for free to do with you kids to have hands on learning. A Must See!

Great place for kids and the hands on learning is enjoyable for them. The place is a bit small, so it doesn’t take much time to cover it all, even with a movie. Staff are friendly and though the gift shop is small, there’s still a decent bit of things for kids to enjoy.

My little girls loved the LASM they are 5 and 8 years old.they enjoyed the discovery room. "mom come see this" Mom come see this" whatch what I can do with this" listen to the sound this makes when i do this" The Hands on creating art Room: "Mom look what i made for you out of this"Looking at all the didfferent things through a childs eyes makes me happy. We had a great time we didnt compare this museum to any other because its special in its own way.Thank you LASM for a fun filled day with my 2 adopted little girls. MOMMY

Hannah Newell

The exhibits were great!

Shiela Weatherman

Never been planning on going.

Sharonda Morris

So many interesting things to see

Gerald Mott

Took my sons boy scout troop. We had a great time there

S Robb

Closing at 3 pm is inadequate

Sopherra M

I loved it! Saw the Apollo 11 movie. My only complaints are that one of the employees seemed drunk (reeked of alcohol and acted it), and that the endangered/extinct animals exhibit will be going away in October.

Bugatti Black

If been here many of times and I think it's a great way to get educated on things we need to know and want to know.

It is amazing! The activities are super fun!!!!!! You should visit if you haven't.

Martha Mahan-Porta

Wonderfully fun learning

Zane

Extremely boring. The only upsides are the temporary exhibits that can be ok. Don't test your luck though. The gift shop also sucks

While my children enjoyed this museum, I was not impressed by the staff members at all. With the exception of the sweet lady working in the Discovery Center, no other staff member greeted me or my children.

Curator, you need to learn some good manners and return a call when someone leaves a message for you. Perhaps you feel that you are too good to do so!

Houston Texas

Great staff very informative long live Porky SB13

Bhavisha Patel

Must go, love the atmosphere. Peaceful. Gives you a chance to stop and just be grateful. Such a great place for kids...very cool. Worth the membership. I would definitely come again. Tranquillity helps to ground you and appreciate life

Nikhil Damodaran

Great place to get Louisiana in its entirety. If you've been to old state Capitol then a lot of history would be repetitive. But there are a lot of added attractions to this place.

Brissia Mendez

Love this place great exhibits !

Josh Diehl

Planetarium is state of the art. Museum has a few things to enjoy. Could use more content but good enough for young and old alike.

Melody Kittles

Nice place, clean facility, friendly staff, varied and educational displays and activities. Highly recommend!

Kathryn Smith

The museum is very nice, and very clean. The staff are all kind and nice to the children. The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars is that the city of Baton Rouge put no thought into parking for this facility. In order to get there I drove around for almost 30 minutes looking for parking. Driving around looking for parking with a careful of young children is not fun. I came very close to finding an alternate outing. Once parked we had two very busy roads to cross. My 4 year old granddaughter witnessed a tractor trailer rig coming within 2 seconds of crashing into the rear of a car that suddenly turned left in the intersection of the pedestrian crossing. The driver then went into a cursing rage with the windows rolled down. Not exactly the wholesome outing I was seeking. I feel certain many do find alternatives for the children, and this is a substantial loss to this amazing museum. This is not New York city folks, we all have cars. In addition, I think the prices are too high for the children. Of course, if more people came perhaps they could lower the price.
