Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center

What a gem! Friendly ducks, a nice boardwalk and all the information about Cajun culture you could want!

They host a French (Cajun creole) speaking circle every Tuesday night at 5 PM followed by Cajun music at 6 PM.

Ranger Alan was also incredibly fun to talk to. She’s extremely knowledgeable and she’s been all over the country! A real life world traveler right here in Bayou country! If you’re local and you’re leaving Thibodaux she is the first person you should talk to!

I can’t think of all of the people of southern Louisiana for all their incredible kindness and hospitality. I was truly surprised to see just HOW NICE people are down here! 😄

We enjoyed our visit to this neat little spot & the history.❤

It’s a cultural center with relics from the Acadian past. You can tour the entire space in under 10 minutes for free. The gift shop has local books and memorabilia. A nice visit to learn local history.

The rangers were so great with our kids and so helpful. The scavenger hunt allowed them to wander and made them look at the artifacts. It was great.

Great experience for me to be invited as I was passing through, beautiful building and a free concert every Tuesday. I loved it they had some stories and then some music about it.

Nice look at some original pieces.

A place to visit for anyone interested in Cajun culture. Enjoyable little museum with clear explanations on various aspects of Cajun history and lifestyle, accompanied by beautiful artifacts and photographs. We also attended a friendly French-speaking group (we speak standard French so it was nice to pick up some Cajun expressions), listened to a music performance, then a ranger took us on a walking tour of historic downtown. We learned a lot and all activities are free.

It's great for kids

Quelle surprise ! When I went there for music there was also a really fun French conversation scheduled. Tuesdays at 5. All levels of French and every kind of French. You could even go just to listen. Rollicking!

I think this little museum is very interesting and cute! I loved it so much!

Awesome, grandson earned an Jr Ranger Angler badge, check with the staff for scheduled events

We love this place. It’s beautiful and the ducks love bread!

Every time I have friends or family coming from out of town I want to teach them about our Cajun culture. Jean Lafitte’s museum in Thibodaux Louisiana Is an excellent way to do this. Jean Lafitte’s museum provides short video clips in a seated area, a walking tour inside and outside plus the opportunity to have a mini swamp tour on Bayou Lafourche around our local quaint and beautiful city. A real must for history people!

Great place to visit and learn about Cajun culture. Very friendly Park Rangers are happy to answer all questions.

My grandkids love to feed the ducks!!!

Friendly staff, learned a few facts about the area I have been living in. The displays were well done, it was like seeing the past live.

Great place to stop and visit anytime of the day. There's one thing bring bread. The hosting guest will appreciate the visit.

If you’re looking for a nice relaxing place need some tranquility here’s your place to go…..ps…. Lots of Muskovy ducks there!!!!

Great place to learn about the atea

Wonderful place to visit for ducks and turtles. Well informed staff.
