The Louisiana Children's Discovery Center is a 501 C3 Non-Profit Children's Museum located in the heart of Hammond, Louisiana. It is the only open and operating Children's Museum in the Northshore area. Since its opening, we have served over 155,000 children and their families.

The Louisiana Children's Discovery Center (LCDC) is more than just a conventional Children's Museum. It is a premier center that offers over 30 different engaging interactive hands-on exhibits and programs, making it an excellent educational resource for the entire community. Moreover, it is a great place where toddlers, children and teenagers can learn at their own pace while having fun and playing interactively with their peers.

Finally, with each exhibit we offer a variety of meaningful instructional activities that can be extremely useful for classroom teachers and their students or parents and grandparents who bring their children to let them explore and discover a new way to learn while playing.

To provide an exceptional environment where play & learning inspire children to embrace their world.

The Louisiana Children’s Discovery Center aims to be a unique, interactive resource which offers creative opportunities for families and children to learn, play, discover and grow together.
