  This is a great place to start your visit to Cajun country. There are a lot of exhibits about the history and culture of the Cajun people and there’s a film about the history of the Cajun shown every hour on the hour until 3pm. The film and the exhibits could use some updating, but they still provide a lot of useful information even if they are a bit dated. The rangers are a great source of information about the local area and culture as well. There’s a ranger talk most days at 2:45. The gift shop has lots of cool books, cds and gifts related to the local culture. There’s bathrooms and water fountains as well. Walk along the bayou on the other side of the parking lot for some pretty views.

  Great place with gift shop, restaurant, living history, and free parking. Sometimes National Park Service does programs, too.
