Lake Charles is very lucky to have such a great Children's Museum. It's a great place for kids to have fun, of course, but the museum is constantly updating it's exhibits and offers kids and families to learn about a wide range of subjects.

Starting Saturday, December 8th, and each 2nd Saturday following, The Children's Museum will feature special exhibits from the world of science. The project is sponsored by Sasol, and will give us all a chance to learn a variety of subjects from the world of science.
