The Music Box Village

The Music Box Village is a great place to go to bring children who love music and are curious/inquisitive. We took 5 children ages 1.5-5 and they had a blast. The set-up was a little difficult with rainy weather as there was a lot of mud but I love the idea of the outdoor music artsy museum-ish play space. Some of the instruments were not working or had sharp pieces. The bathrooms are artwork themselves, especially the sink and mirror. Great place to visit with kids.

Excellent place for the kids! My husband and I brought our 6 year old and 4 year old to this attraction and did not disappoint. It's a huge playard with sections to make music or noise. Kids can touch everything and make as much music as they want. The pictures don't do it justice. It's outside and also has a place to buy drinks. This was a great recommendation by a local! Adults will have fun too. Great for the music enthusiast too.

Music Box Villiage is totally worth the treck out to the Bywater when youre in town. Its a $7ish donation - they take cash and credit card. they have a small bar and small snack shop. plenty of parking and for the most part, the ubers will find the location. the bathrooms are so cool! I came here in the winter and i was thinking - it must be super hot during summer months as its 100% outside, so keep that outside.Everything here makes a sound, music, and is interactive. you can come in groups, or just come with a friend. its fun and a great way to do something outside of the norm binge drinking on a friday night. no, the music and sound isnt too loud. its truly intimate and pretty. 1 of the musicians helped me work one of the tree houses with the mics that were connected to it.i would love to come back and have a party here!

One of the most mysterious and whimsical places I've been to in New Orleans.A hidden gem nestled into the bywater, this venue seems like is a cross between a children's fantasy land and an abandoned circus town. The venue is enormous---probably numerous acres, and is entirely outdoors. I'm not sure if it is always like this, but for the show I attended, there were musical instruments everywhere, including chimes, drums made of buckets, and much more. Make sure to climb up the treehouse!Come early, and explore the area, as there is a lot to see. I'm definitely looking forward to returning.Again, I can't speak for every performance there, but the one I attended had a bar and a window to order food from.

This place is phenomenal. An kid AND adult playground with an industrial artistic vibe. Whether you're playing in the musical installments or admiring the eery beauty of the compound, it's truly a magical place. Highly recommend for every type of person and with the friendly staff bringing you in, what could be better?!

If you're looking for a way to get in some "play", don't skip this place! Each creation is made by different artists and gives you a variety of opportunities to make 'music'. Some are obvious, some are very surprising. Don't miss a button or a beat! A truly unique experience that will make you feel like a kid again!

My daughter plays percussion so I had to bring her here. When we pulled up I thought I made a big mistake, hahaha. This place doesn't look like much from outside but it is more than meets the eye. Once we got on the inside it is indeed a musical village. You can make music with almost everything there. They even provide drum sticks. My daughter was so good on the tree house drum said that one of the employees recorded her and played her music on a loop over the speaker system. I definitely won points with my kid for this trip. Very family friendly but even if you don't have kids you will enjoy this place. Your inner child will thank you.

Traveling off the other parts of Nola and found this beautiful music village! It's something straight out of HOoks movie and I just love the fact that it's tucked away but still obvious that it's a site to enter. they have so many contraption and cool inventions around the whole place that it took me a couple of hours to enjoy every little piece!

Music box is a wonderful place to spend an evening or day! Every thing there is musical! Everything there can make sound or music. It's a great place for the family as well if you were interested in getting your children interested in music and he keeps them occupied because it literally is a venue full of magical sounds. I went there for a concert and thoroughly enjoyed myself. They had beer and wine reasonably priced, and it was $25 to get in. Depending on who's performing you may want to get your tickets in advance because getting them at the start or near the start of the event will have you know very long line.Have a lot of places to sit if you don't mind sitting on things that don't seem like a chair but is beautiful the ambience is amazing and I would recommend anybody to go.

Ok, let's starts with what to wear. Keep in mind that it's an outdoor, unpaved venue. Wear accordingly. I had on a sundress and a t strap sandal and still was sweating profoundly from the humidity and got sand all over my feet. Note to self to wear a pair of Converse next time and bring a hand fan. Next is parking. They have limited parking spots so I would advise carpooling, bike or Uber there. Now to the fun part of walking through a forest like feel just to get to the entrance. We were walking and all I can think of is that someone or something will jump out and kill us. I kid you not, it's creepy as hell. There was a DJ today for the celebrating of opening day so you will hear music playing before you make it to the entrance. The whole place is like a musical funland for all ages. My favorite was the swinging cage. If I didn't had a dress on, I would've been swinging on it. I really wanted to try the drum set they had but didn't have the guts to do it so next time I come back, the swing and the drum is what I'm aiming for. I've been here in the daytime but the I like how the place looks so pretty with all the light decorations around the venue. If I remember correctly, it's free tours for residential and they accept donations. They do have Artists and musicians plays at the venue which you will then has to pay to catch the show. They set up an area bar offering water, cocktails, wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks. I was so glad they offered ice cream also. I had the mint lemon curd. It was different but in a good way.
