We bring our PreK/K classes yearly and it is absolutely the best experience. There is so much history in one place. The scholars are fascinated by all the displays and ask lots of questions. It is by far the best museum to learn a tremendous amount of Louisiana history in one place.

Displays were fantastic, informative and fun. A lot to learn about Louisiana...

Two floors museum. First floor - history of Louisiana from French time to the modern and exposition covering whole economic diversity of the state and the second floor is abundant presence of the different cultural phenomenas of Louisiana. Different regions, different aspects: from voodoo culture and jazz funeral to Mardi Gras and different variety of music.Sorry for many words, but the place is amazing, must see.

My boyfriend and I visited the museum on a Thursday which gave us ample time to linger at each exhibit and just relish the history and time we spent learning about this great state. We have been here for two n half years working and travel nationwide but absolutely love the rich history of Louisiana. If you have a chance take the time to stand still and learn.

Really cool place to visit. There was a lot of information on Louisiana from the foundation of the state to the music and the impact the state has as a whole. I was blown away seeing the artifacts from Louis Armstrong, amazing to see history that up close and personal. The most amazing part was seeing the hearse that carried Dr. King. I stood there for at least 5 minutes just in awe at how close I was to someone so important to our history. A truly humbling experience,and that is an understatement as I really dont have words to describe the power I felt there.

I love visiting this museum. There is so much to see and take in. I always learn something new. One of my favorite places.

$6 admission. Plan on 2 hours. Great Civil War section. Museum is The history of Louisiana oriented in a progressive manner: Spanish, British, French, Confederate, to U.S., Agriculture, Marti Gras, etc.. High quantity displays and many original artifacts. However: bring earplugs - many loud displays - you hear 2 or 3 simultaneously while reading unrelated signs, and be advised that on weekdays elementary school field trips - 500 unrestrained, unsupervised, undisciplined, very vocal children - who are not as interested in museums as those of us who paid - will be running around and yelling.

Workout spot. However, weve relocated to BREC location. Free on Tuesdays at 6p. Come join us corner of Ardenwood & Florida in BR. Come get your workout on.

Had a fun time here for my daughters field trip. Its a very large museum with tons of things to see and learn.

Lovely exhibits. I encourage everyone to visit.

You definitely owe it to yourself to visit this museum. I believe it is a hidden treasure of Baton Rouge. The exhibits are colorful, interesting and engaging. Definitely add Capital Park Museum to your list of things to do in BR

This museum was no nice! Being from Louisiana it was great to visit this museum on the history of my state. The exhibits are very detailed and give so much history. I learned a lot by visiting this museum.

The very best cultural museum in Louisiana!

Great museum! Lots of information. Could have definitely used more than one hour there!

Set up a wedding for my employer, Billy Heroman Flowerland. The staff was exceptional!! Ms. Ashley was great to work with!

Learned so much about history and culture.

One of the best tours I have ever been to. I went with my sons class field trip and it was priceless. I wish I would have had enough time to go up to the tower.

Always a terrific treat! So much information, you learn something new Everytime you visit. Staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeble too.

I absolutely love Capitol Park Museum. It is the bestmuseum in Baton Rouge. The exhibits are fun and the art galleries upstairs are always a delight and change quite often. The exhibits upstairs really give you insight to Louisiana. Definitely a place to go to if in Louisiana!

A must visit to appreciate what a rich historical Louisiana means to you all, in-state and out-of-state!

REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. Exhibit on display Now

We did not get I n. Ot looks interestin

Enjoyed it very much work my family while visiting.

Nice cultural exhibition of La parishes and music reasonable prices offering senior discounts.

The Capital Park Museum was awesome. They have lots of great exhibits dealing with the history of Louisiana and its people. The kids had an amazing time. My son cant wait to go back. The people were very nice and knowledgeable.

Lots of great exhibits here! Very colorful and educational displays! We enjoyed our visit very much!

A very interesting and educational experience for the entire family. We will return

Amazing!!! My family and I lucked out the day we went because it was free! Fantastic beautiful place to visit literally every age will enjoy and I have 3 kids under 4

Excellent museum! Great exhibits and great staff!

Very Great an Fascinating!!!

Beautiful and informative, If you have the time, come and see.

A fine museum celebrating the history and culture of Louisiana. A few of the highlights include a complete shrimp fishing boat, a Civil War era submarine, and a mock-up of Cosimo Matassas recording studio with original equipment. Matassas studio recorded many early artists who helped launch rock and roll - Fats Domino, Allen Tousaint, Little Richard, Lee Dorsey, and many others.

Really nice but start upstairs for local flavor. The exhibits me to be a lot more interactive you will still enjoy yourself and learn a lot about the state for a very fair price

Has a great information on the history of Louisiana.

This museum was awesome!!! So super proud of my Louisiana heritage. Here the past and present collide into a beautiful collection from all areas of our great state. I could have stayed here for hours but we were on a time crunch and with a group. My 11 year old who isnt typically a museum buff, begged me to bring her back so we can have more time. We will be back.

All I can really say is that its a great place for my family to catch the Spanishtown parade.

Loved it

The museum was highly recommended to us by a staffer at the State Capitol, and we were not disappointed. Its huge, with one floor devoted to local history and a second floor covering local culture. Both sets of exhibits are great, although the cultural stuff is more entertaining (think food, language, Mardi Gras, etc.) while the history is more informative

There is a lot of info about Louisiana here. It is great.

Wonderful venue for weddings, spacious and so contemporary! Breathtaking views of the State Capitol made for gorgeous photos. Highly recommend for weddings or any other special occasion/event.

Location and love to have receptions and parties there because I love your Capitol View on the outside from your porch and I love your porch. It is romantic to see Capitol and its beautiful park. Super hospitality, love your people. Would love to see more Louisiana history.

Great museum lots of Louisiana history.

Very interesting compilation of historic and cultural elements of the state of Louisiana. Very affordable for a museum of such quality. Worth the visit, I wish I have had a couple of more hours to go through everything in more depth.

Very interesting displays! Easy to self navigate the flow so you see everything!

Really nice

Our students really seemed to enjoy the museum. I wish wed had more time or perhaps a guided tour from someone who could have brought some of it to life for them. They were particularly interested in the music, Mardi Gras, and slavery sections because they learned things theyd never heard before.

Great museum eeverybody who goes there raves about the exhibits

A fun Crash course of Louisana history.

Capitol is very ornate and the grounds behind it are awesome. Ringing the replica liberty bell is a must.

The view from outside the museum.

Best place to hold an event... wonderful setting and Ashley is the best person to work with.

Very interesting I like it.

Fantastic space, with lovely architecture and always a cool event going on.

Great little museum. The exhibits are well put together and I enjoyed learning about the history and culture of Louisiana. As an added bonus there was an art gallery displaying art created by Louisiana artists. Thoroughly enjoyable and would be a great place for kids and families.

Absolutely amazing museum. This is a must see for all visitors and natives of Louisiana. What a hidden gem!!

Fun family friendly and lots to see....great staff and lots of history...

Interesting displays and information about LOUISIANA.

Great atmosphere for all ages and everyone is always friendly! My 10 year old loves it and I enjoy the nice areas they have to read a book while being able to watch him skate!

It was well done. Dont miss it. Takes about 2 hours

Good place to learn about Louisianas history and culture

Devoted to everything pertaining to Louisiana. Louis Armstrong, Huey Long. From the beginning with first settlers and the Louisiana purchase to Mardi Gras celebrations. Wont be bored here. Marvelous museum covering all of Louisiana. Done in sections. Covers history, cultures, foods. Separate sections for the history of jazz, mardis gras and native americans. A real gem

Really well done! We went on a Saturday and it must have been an anomaly as there was hardly anyone there. Really enjoyed Louis Armstrong and cultural upstairs exhibits.

Love visiting this museum.

Memorial Day weekend

Beautiful.

Old plantation house and grounds

Learn everything you need to know about Louisiana history and culture.

Awesome had a great time took my 9 yr old grandson

Beautiful venue. Helpful staff.

A great museum!

A must see, a place to learn so much about our wonderful state of Louisiana.

This is an awesome place if in the area visit

This museum is so awesome. Really goes into incredible detail on the history of La and has beautiful exhibits for each thing. Upstairs is more about music, Mardi Gras and the Louisiana lifestyle. Would highly recommend going to this museum. On the first sunday of each month its free admission!

Baton rouge is full of neat places and this is just one of them.

I wish I could give this 6 stars. We werent even planning on visiting this place, but a volunteer at the New State Capital suggested it. It might be one of the best Museum visits I have ever had. I dont even have much interest in the history of Louisiana, but this was unbelievable. Cost is $6 to get in, but it is more than worth it. They take you through the Purchase, through the various wars, Huey Long, Satchmo, life on the river, history of slavery and food production. They have a full size shrimping boat and combine. That is all on the first floor. The second floor is a walkthrough the various regions of Louisiana with details about the various music, festivals, celebrations, customs, traditions, languages, etc. It was so well done and put together. I cant compliment this place enough. We are planning a second visit because we ended up taking so much time in this place and we still felt we could have spent another hour. Go see this place. Amazing.

Cute little museum that has more than I expected. Love the regional information in the upstairs section as well as music and Mardi Gras sections.

Lots to see and learn. Very interesting and well-presented.

Love this museum and the surroundings are beautiful for a nice walk with the family!!

I loved it i went with my class tho

Very nice museum and not expensive. My kids had fun but they moved to fast my wife and I will be going back on our own

I had a great time at this museum and my daughter was thoroughly entertained. The people working there were very helpful and the exhibits were both educating and visually appealing. My family had a great time and I would recommend this to any family looking to have a good time in Baton Rouge.

A wonderful display of Louisianas history!

Fun, whimsical museum filled with history and information about Louisiana. Its a well laid out museum, with lots to see. Not like any other museum Ive ever visited.

Great to see out culture and history

I went with a field trip and it was a horrible experience. No one was polite. It was unorganized and the kids were just ready to go as we all were.

Awesome place to learn some new things.

Such a cool place with a lot of Louisiana specific exhibits!

Great collection of Louisiana history and culture. The admission is very affordable. Parking close by is a little tricky but its worth the walk.

Always has fabulous, unique programming and events. Best museum to learn about Louisiana Culture of all the Louisiana State Museums.

Every time I come to this place I am overjoyed its always clean and the people are so friendly

I enjoyed it. It is well done.

This is such a GREAT museum, and totally worth the admission price!

We had a nice time here with the kids. It was very informative.

Going there today to decorate for a wedding

Nice place to take a date

Very informative and so much fun

So interesting to learn more about Louisiana history. Fun for kids and adults too!

Lots of things to look at, so plan time accordinglt

Very good

Much more than I anticipated the history, the beginnings of Jazz and Blues, and all early tools and machines....WELL DONE!!
