Why Everyone’s Talking About Port Wonder Lake Charles

Port Wonder isn’t just another museum—it’s the future of fun and learning in Lake Charles. Set right on the lake near the Gator Pond, it’ll mix hands-on STEM learning, wildlife exhibits, and interactive fun in one amazing place. Think of it as part science center, part children’s museum, and all kinds of awesome.

Mayor Nic Hunter called it a “labor of love” for the community, and Children’s Museum Director Allyson Montgomery said watching it come together is like magic.

Port Wonder Built by the Community, For the Community

This sneak peek event wouldn’t be possible without help from local partners like the Calcasieu Parish School Board, Visit Lake Charles, the Police Jury, Sasol, the Lake Charles Symphony, and more. It’s a true community collaboration—and you’re invited to be part of it.
