Family Fun Awaits in St. Martin Parish

If you’re looking for a getaway the whole family will love, St. Martin Parish is the place to be. From cabins with waterparks and fishing ponds to dinosaur adventures and swamp tours, there’s no shortage of kid-approved fun. Start your weekend by checking into Camp Margaritaville, where the kids can splash in the pools and water playground before dinner at 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill. Or settle into a cabin at Poché’s RV Park & Fish-N-Camp, where little ones can fish and play in the aqua park before heading out for supper at Buck & Johnny’s or Myran’s Maison de Manger on the bayou.

Saturday kicks off with donuts—Thee Heavenly Donut near Margaritaville or Cajun Market Donut Co. near Poché’s—before a morning of go-karts and arcade games at Cajun Fast Track, plus a walk among life-sized dinosaurs at the Prehistoric Park right next door. Grab lunch at Turtle’s Bar & Grill on the Atchafalaya, then set out for a swamp tour with McGee’s or, in crawfish season, a crawfish farm tour. End the day at Crawfish Town USA, where the kids can enjoy Cajun favorites.

On Sunday, enjoy beignets and live Cajun music at Tante Marie in Breaux Bridge before heading to Lake Martin for a canoe, kayak, or nature walk under the cypress trees. Wrap up the weekend at Bayou Teche Brewing, where parents can sample local craft beer while kids enjoy pizza, arcade games, and live music. Don’t forget to make time for free family fun like the Atchafalaya Welcome Center, the Breaux Bridge Walking Tour, Veterans Park, Parc des Ponts de Pont Breaux, or the 20-foot granite snake sculpture telling the legend of Bayou Teche.

With so many ways to play, explore, and eat, St. Martin Parish is the ultimate family-friendly destination.
