This is a good place to introduce kids to science. The day I went it was on Terrific Tuesday. It only costs $2 to get in otherwise it would be $12 (adult)/$9 (child) for the museum and $8.50 (adult)/$7.50 (child) for the IMAX.
There aren't a lot of exhibit places for the kids. And what there is doesn't keep young ones interested for long. I think this place is best for kids who are already in elementary school. It doesn't keep the attention span of a 5-year old very well. I was here with my cousin and she kept bouncing around from station to station. Thankfully we had a free pass to get into the IMAX, which satisfied her for 45 minutes.
The highlight of the day was a paper airplane exhibit. There was a computer program that provided six paper airplane designs. The museum provided paper to fold them. There was even a place to test the aerodynamics of the plane. Then, the museum had a place to actually launch the paper airplanes in a tunnel. It was a lot of fun and quite memorable.
The museum even has mini-programs going on during the day. Unfortunately, none were that interested in learning about tree rings. But I'm sure the making your own slime demonstration gathered more kids.
This place has a lot of improvement to make when comparing it to other exploratoriums and discovery science centers in larger metropolitan areas. But at least Shreveport is trying to introduce the fun of science to children.

Shreveport's very own Exploratorium. Science! Imax! Reptiles! Extremely close to the downtown hotels, and wonderful for kids.

This is one of Shreveport, Louisiana's best place for buying the yearly family deal. for a little over a hundred dollars, you can take a pack of 8 kids every day for the rest of the year. It is awesome. The kids would rate it a 10. I have seen Fancier Science Center across the Us, so this gets a 4. It is very wonderful. Did I mention the free IMAX passes they give you with the membership. it is a deal that can't go wrong. My membership was a gift from my brother in law. Thanks Pope O. We loved it all year and took the kids all summer long!
