At the Prairie Acadian Cultural Center in Eunice, curriculum-based programs are available for students on Fridays. Call 337-457-8499 for more information and reservations. Field Trip Information for Teachers Plan like a Park Ranger! Be prepared for your field trip and learn about our facility and programs below.
Buses may pull up to the sidewalk on Park Avenue to let students off. Once all students, chaperones, and teachers are off the bus, the bus can park on Park Avenue.
A water fountain is available at the Prairie Acadian Cultural Center, but there are no food or drinks to purchase. Although a lunch break is not normally included in the program, you are welcome to plan to eat your bag lunches outside in our courtyard. Dispose of Waste Properly. Take all trash with you. Leave what you find. Leave all natural objects where you find them. Respect wildlife. Although we are in the city, we still have wildlife such as squirrels, insects, snakes, birds, and racoons (to name a few). Observe wildlife from a distance and never feed them. Be considerate of other visitors. Avoid loud voices and noises. Food, drinks, chewing gum, and candy are not allowed in the museum. Food particles attract pests that could be harmful to the exhibits. Please leave lunches and drinks on the bus. Remember this is a Cultural Center! People from all over the world come to learn about our cultures. Please show respect by being polite and attentive. Stay with your group! Pay close attention, follow directions, and stay together so we may complete your program. Be aware of your surroundings and don’t run. Keep yourself and others safe by being respectful and walking in the building. Plan early! Jean Lafitte requires a chaperone for every ten students. Extra chaperones are welcome.
If your program takes place inside our facility, consider bringing a light jacket or sweater.
