Parents, we found a wonderful way for your family to make memories this season: the highly anticipated Santa’s Christmas Village is back—and it’s better than ever! From December 2nd through December 23rd, the Northeast Louisiana Children’s Museum transforms into a sparkling winter wonderland, filled with twinkling lights, festive activities, and holiday magic designed to delight every member of your family.
The museum works tirelessly to make sure your kids—and you—have a truly fun, stress-free experience. All attendees aged 2 and up require a general admission ticket ($15), which grants full access to all museum activities. That means your little ones can play, explore, and discover to their heart’s content—creating the kind of joyful moments that turn into lasting memories.
Bonus: Fridays are half-off ($7.50) per ticket for ages 2 and up for the first 75 guests; this was made possible by generous sponsors.
