Through a partnership between local New Orleans non-profit, Kids Join the Fight, and Children's Hospital New Orleans, that dream is becoming a reality. Walker's Imaginarium at Children's Hospital New Orleans will be a therapeutic space for children, families, and even members of the community to gather, and create moments of joy.
Explore Walker's Imaginarium
The 12,000 square foot center will be one of the largest and most comprehensive hospital-based child enrichment spaces in the country.
Ground level
The Center attaches from the hospital’s main concourse to the quiet gardens on the ground floor, where patients and families can peacefully stroll through a lush walking path, complete with an animal viewing area that will allow for regular animal encounters.
Parade porch
A spacious, covered outdoor porch offers views onto Henry Clay Ave. where children can experience Mardi Gras parades and special moments from other visiting groups on campus. The porch also offers panoramic views of the Mississippi River.
Second floor
A bright rainbow staircase connects the ground level to the main floor. A path inspired by the Mississippi River connects several exhibits, including an aquarium, reading nooks, a dance floor, a building center, and more, surrounded by nature-inspired seating and decor.
Mezzanine level
The mezzanine level features several exhibits, including a broadcast studio just for kids, an immersive tunnel experience, and a multipurpose room for special programming, arts, education and creative therapies.
