Children's World's Fair

Travel around the world in just a day at the Louisiana Children's Museum's annual Children's World's Fair.


The Children's World's Fair is an international exhibition of crafts, music, native attire, inventions, hands-on projects and foods from 16 countries around the globe! Held each March, it's an outing packed with culture and excitement for kids 4 - 14! Children receive coloring books and passports that are stamped as they move from country to country. Plus, as they travel, kids will have the opportunity to make the crafts, dance the dances, sample the foods and soak up the flavors and customs unique to each country. All activities are participatory and children take home plenty of souvenirs. And, families can take a trip to the Earth's center in the Louisiana Children's Museum's Earth balloon for an up-close inside look at the world we live in.
