Explore, play and discover

Music and Mardi Gras

Create a dance party with interactive lights and marching band music, make music on percussion pipes beneath second-line umbrellas, and join the celebration of a year-round Mardi Gras parade with the Krewe of Walker Float experience.

The butterfly swing

An accessible swing brings a soaring illuminated butterfly to life, with movement that sets its wings and interactive lights in motion.

Bayou and forest adventures

Take an imaginative airboat ride through the bayou or explore a funky forest filled with immersive Louisiana-inspired landscapes in a sensory inclusive environment.

Sports and friendly competition

Get moving with oversized games and a mini football field, then head to the terrace for Putt-Putt Parishes, an accessible nine-hole mini-golf course celebrating Louisiana landmarks.

Places to slow down

Enjoy the easy-going front porch life with a pretend crawfish boil, community cookout, and lemonade stand. Welcoming gathering spaces and peaceful retreats give families room to relax and connect.
