George Olivier: I was surprised by how nice the museum was. The number of ancient Egyptian artifacts was stunning and there is even an actual mummy on display. Furthermore, the movie about Egyptian burial practices was both entertaining and informative. We loved it!
Uyen DIEP: Big enough and informative museum! Overwhelmed with their collections of all Louisiana-native wild lives. Decent interactions, too. And they’re free!
Sheila Flood: This place is both fascinating and gorgeous. It has quite a history thats worth looking up. Every room is as different, colourful and full of character as the characters who inhabited the mansion over the years, including the man who wrote You are My Sunshine. The architecture makes full use of light and interesting spaces including curved walls and the most beautiful living room. Im not sure its called a living room, but the large second floor room with the white furniture and red tiles is stunning. And the bathrooms (some of which are being renovated) are really something else!
Gair Brooks: Small museum, but packed with memorabilia and a lot of information. First off, since the ship was being dry-docked for repairs, there was a discounted price. Second, all the information in all of the cases and next to the pictures is very informative. One thing I did find confusing was is the pirate exhibit, whose name is the same, Kidd, is that a relative of the ome who had the ship(s) named after him? I understand there is a lineage, given that his wife, after his death wanted the pirate flag flown on the ship. Other than that, its a cute little place packed with information.
Andrea F: I came on a Saturday to visit the museum, and I am so glad I did. It was not busy at all. The rooms flowed well and I liked all of it. My favorites were the Clementine works as they left an odd aching feeling in my heart. The space station exhibit was nice as well. All of it was well worth seeing. I would recommend to anyone in the area.
Jaylah: I LOVE visiting Mike!! He is usually sleep but I love visiting him either way. When he is active, He sometimes swims to in his pool or walks around his habitat.
Anandi Premlall: I wandered by the water and came across the access to the Riverfront Levee and bike/pedestrian path overlooking the Mississippi River. Very well designed with lots of seating and trash bins. I wish there were more trees and some shade along the way. It can be brutal on a hot summer day in the deep south! Very peaceful and picturesque views.
Don LeClair: Interesting museum from the Plantation Era. It is conveniently located, though the entrance is a little tricky to see from Nicholson Drive. The property is attractive and the buildings well maintained.
We had a couple of staff members cover the tour, and both were excellent.
The main house is relatively modestly sized. The decor is from the period, but not necessarily from this family. They did a good job of covering the perspective of the enslaved people.
Denise Pagan: 20/10. 100% recommend. And please at least you need 2 to 3 hrs if you want to see all the amazing things they have. Basically, its a small fee to get there. But worthed
berta z: Roses in every shade, pretty walking path and small fountain. Nice photo spot. Saw many varieties of basil that I didnt know existed. Needed tlc in the weeding and pruning areas but still quite nice.
