Developing Baton Rouge was lucky enough to get an in-progress tour of Knock Knock Children’s museum. Our tour guide was none other than Peter Olson, Knock Knock’s new executive director. Peter, a native Minnesotan, recently relocated to Baton Rouge to take the position.
The museum, scheduled to open next summer, will undoubtedly become an instant hit with both kids and adults (Brian and I are already crossing our fingers for after hours events). Peter asked that we only show exterior views of the building for now, but we were able to tour inside. Entering through a three story covering, the interior is a series of huge, unfolding space, deceiving even from the street front. While the sheetrock is just starting to go up you can begin to make out the future zones that will accommodate some seriously fun exhibits.
Scroll down for our pictures below and stay tuned for updates.
