Louisiana Children’s Museum is preparing to open its new campus at City Park.

A news release on Tuesday said the museum is opening Aug. 31.

Construction began in May 2017 on the facility, now reported to cost $47.5 million, on 8.5 acres at the park. The museum has been located in the Warehouse District for three decades and recently closed its doors there.

The City Park facility will have a focus on early childhood development for ages eight and under, the news release said. It will feature five interactive exhibits on literacy, health and wellness, environmental education and arts and culture. Some favorite exhibits from the current location have also been re-imagined at City Park.

A literacy center, edible gardens, a floating classroom and parent-teacher resource center will be at the new museum. Dickie Brennan & Co. will operate a 165-seat eatery called Acorn that overlooks the park’s lagoon.

Seattle-based Mithūn designed the project, supported locally by Waggoner & Ball.

Admission rates will be $14, wither several areas open to the public without admission, including the eatery, literacy and parent-teacher resource center.

The museum will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
