‘Top 10 Things To Do In Lafayette’ According To Tripadvisor.com

A rain shower chased us out of the cemetery behind the church where we were seeing French names with birth dates in the 1600's and possibly earlier.
The tree, cemetery and Cathedral are accessible for those of us with mobility impairments.

This is a fantastic place to visit in Lafayette. It's a recreation of an old Acadian village
complete with a few "residents." Entry fees are nominal. There are traditional Cajun musicians in the schoolhouse, a wood carver in one of the homes plus gardens and a tow boat to cross a small pond. Very suitable for kids and interesting enough for adults to really enjoy.

If you are looking for something fun and different to do with friends and family book this tour. Even if you are a local, as we were, you will enjoy this tour. The restaurants were very gracious in accommodating our large group and the food was most enjoyable. This was a very well planned tour. Our guide Ginger was very knowledgable and the perfect host. Well worth the price

An unexpectedly good find,many of the host were in traditional costumes. We were lucky to go on a Saturday were they had a jamming session, it seemed if you played an instrument or could sing, you just show up and play. Good fun.

We were on a road trip and we needed a break ... check with TA to see what was available to see in the next town and Acadian Cultural Center came up.
This was wonderful because my husbands family is one of the families that was pushed out of Nova Scotia during that time in history. His father had talked about this during his life. It was very good. They have a movie every hour on the hour - it starts at 9 and the last on is at 3 - they close at 4:30.

Lake Martin is a favorite spot of old Cajuns, young lovers, and kids of all ages. As others has written, it is a natural rookery, and in Spring, the gathering of herons, egrets, and roseate spoonbills is a birder's delight. The bloom of the water hyacinth is lovely, and one must always keep an eye out for the gators.

All of the hand on activities provided a great deal of fun for both my husband and 12 year old stepson. They didn't even realise they were learning! A great variety of displays and topics are covered and it is a great way to spend a cold and rainy day.

Been to many shows and games.. Great seating and sound. Always good drinks and food

What a great museum! The kids, ages 9, 6 and 2, each found something that occupied their attention for the entire three hours we spent at the museum. The grocery store, the restaurant, and the bubbles were particularly fascinating to all three. The staff is great and they answered any questions the children had for them. In Lafayette's climate, when it is too hot or rainy to go outside, then this is the place to take the kids for a morning or an afternoon. They will wear themselves out.

Although I live just a few hours away, I had never visited this area or really knew much about the history of the people. This park was so pretty and interesting. It did not take long to see everything but that left time to see everything we wanted in the area in one day.
