Very informative and historical.
Fantastic story telling by staff. The restaurant food was delicious. I had the lunch special and will definitely be going back when I am in the area.
Great site to see the history
Incredible food in the cafe! The historical homes are amazing, and the actors are awesome.
Come on Sunday between 1 and 4 to dance!
Great food. Good prices. Beautiful atmosphere. Going back.
This is a must visit if you are visiting. Very educational and historic. We had lunch in the restaurant on site and it was very authentic. The people that are in character in each building were very knowledgeable and friendly.
2d visit the Sunday buffet was amazing
Lovely
One of the best museums I've ever been to! Beautifully preserved buildings and the kindest, most informative tour guides. If you run into a gentleman named Kevin, lend him an ear. He is super knowledgeable and passionate about the Cajun culture; I could spend hours listening to him recount the stories of the land and sing the songs of his ancestors!

Very well done with a number of building to explore decorated with artifacts enhancing the overall feel of days gone by. Most of the houses and buildings are air conditioned making it helpful if you need a break from the heat. There is a lot of shade on the walking trails but can still get quite hot. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours here. Closed on Mondays and last entry into the park is at 3.
Very historic place with very informed people. The food in the restaurant was authentic and extremely tasty.
That place was one of the highlights of my trip. Had a lot of actors talking about what it was like living in the area in the historic era. Had a blacksmith, a lady making cotton clothing, another person talking about the humans living in the area prior to European influence. We had an awesome performance with a person playing zydeco music with his fiddle. The restaurant in the village was great, my best food was the sweet bread pudding!
Delicious, authentic Cajun food! The best fried catfish I've ever eaten! Perfect size pieces, battered, seasoned and cooked to perfection! The red beans are second to none and the crawfish étouffée... Wow!
Interesting historic site. It has displays, houses and businesses which were reconstructed to reflect early life in the area. Costumed guides tell you about the displays and history. Very nice and clean bathrooms.
