Big news at CMA! 🎉

We’re excited to share that the Children’s Museum of Acadiana has been awarded funding from The Stuller Family Foundation to support the implementation of a brand-new museum management system for our guests and families.

While this upgrade happens mostly behind the scenes, the impact will be felt throughout the entire museum experience. From smoother ticketing and camp registration to improved memberships, birthday bookings, and communication, this transition will help us better serve the thousands of families who visit CMA each year.

As we celebrate our 30th year, we’re investing not only in exhibits and programs, but also in the tools and infrastructure that help our museum grow sustainably for the future.

A huge thank you to the Stuller Family Foundation for supporting this exciting next chapter for CMA and the families of Acadiana!
