About Our Museum

Louisiana culture comes to life at the Bayou Country Children’s Museum. Located in Thibodaux, Louisiana, this hands-on museum provides the type of recreational learning experience desired by parents and educators that has a lasting impact on child development. For children, play is a critical way to find out about new things. The ability to play is instrumental in scientific exploration, discovery and creativity.

Be Sure to Visit the Bayou Boutique!

The Bayou Boutique is filled with educational gifts and toys, most of which are representative of our Cajun region. We have a great selection of books, games and learning toys. Don’t forget the alligator claw back scratcher, plush animals like pelicans, red fish and raccoons and even costumes with our BCCM logo! There is always a nice selection of jewelry for moms and great pieces of art work from local artists. Come in and shop — museum entrance fee is not required!
