Thank you so much for your welcome, advise and help !!! We come from France and went yesterday at the center. 2 kind women helped us booking an airboat tour. It was very nice. Thanks again. Merci pour votre aide et gentillesse.

Lovely hidden gem tucked between 2 main roads. Relaxing walk across a bayou on a shady wooden bridge, while taking in the labeled flora and fauna.
Inside the air conditioned center itself, are the things you'd expect and appreciate. Information, friendly people ready to help, pamphlets, and restrooms. I love finding these prideful well cared for stops.

I stopped here looking for postcards. Alas, there were no postcards for sale here. The lady working gave me a few (ugly) free ones, but they were not what I wanted. I wanted tourist postcards featuring an alligator or Spanish moss, or some other Louisiana thing. None. There were none.
The lady working was nice, but kind of clueless. She told me I should go to Vermillionville (some kind of museum) to see if there were postcards there.
My elderly mother really enjoyed the alligator carved from wood.

You need to stop by here and talk to the people. Very friendly. Great suggestions and you can find out what's going on and great suggestions on where to eat. Loved Dwight's restaurant. Thanks.

The older lady helping us was so informative and gave us some great suggestions of what we should see/experience while in Lafayette for just a few days. She was incredibly patient with our small children and treated them as if they were just as important as the adults- so glad we stopped in!

So pretty. Right in the middle of the city. A gorgeous example of the bayou. Knowledgeable staff.

Yes, some interesting places to visit, good food. Poverty sticken, some of the worst roads and traffic we have experienced. US Federal Infrastructure trucks roaming around and yes, they are in the right place! Downtown we were accosted by a mentally ill person who threatened violence unprovoked. Don't even think about bringing your rig downtown. This is the center of Acadiana and all associated cultural things are accessable but it is a dying, rundown place with a small strip of higher end downtown to visit and we found that it was better to have a specific destination in mind than to wander around the city.

The center grounds are arranged like a Cypress swamp but set between the lanes of a busy boulevard. Once inside it is like you are not in a city. Wooden walkways over the ponds. Egrets are common. Some large Koi. Lots of turtles that want you to feed them. The walkways are old and need some maintenance but it is a wonderful place to visit.

Beautiful old building surrounded by small garden, a pond full of turtles and a short boardwalk.
