Dinosaur fossil in Lafayette, LADo you need a break from the hustle and bustle of your daily life? Are you interested in taking a mental break from whatever is currently worrying you to expand your knowledge of science or history? If so, you have to visit three fascinating and mentally stimulating museums in and around Lafayette, LA, including the Hilliard Art Museum and the Children’s Museum of Acadiana.

1. Lafayette Science Museum

 

Opened in 1969, this science museum has been known by locals for decades as the heart of the local museums. This science museum truly has something for children and adults of all ages. If you want to spark a love of astronomy in your child, check the museum’s website for the date of the next planetarium show. This one-of-a-kind show teaches children how the stars that were visible to the naked eye were used to navigate across unimaginably vast oceans.

However, the city’s science museum does not just teach children and curious adults about astronomy. It touches on over a dozen branches of science. If you have young children, you will love the interactive exhibits. Studies have shown that young children learn best through moving, touching, and experiencing things first-hand rather than being told how things worked without the tactile and visual stimulation. Touching things trains the two hemispheres of the brain to communicate effectively.
