If you have little ones the Mississippi Children’s Museum will be a great family memory for years to
come. The museum has five sections that will help you teach your children about Mississippi in a way
that they will enjoy. The first section is called Exploring Mississippi Gallery which teaches them about
Mississippi’s heritage. The next is the World at Work Gallery that talks about Mississippi’s different
industries. After that there are also the Healthy Fun Gallery, the Wild About Reading Gallery, and The
Express Yourself Art Gallery. The museum is open Tuesday thru Saturday from 9am until 5pm, Sundays
1pm until 6pm and closed on Mondays. Admission is $8.00 each; children under 12 months of age get
in free. The Mississippi Children’s Museum is located off I-55 at exit 988 on Highland Drive. The Red
Rocket Café is located inside the museum on the top floor and has the same hours as the museum and
has reasonable prices with all of kid’s favorites, so there is no need to feed your children before coming.
The museum is also a great place to have birthday parties that both the children and parents will enjoy,
prices vary due to party size and museum membership. The museum also hosts an array of other types
of parties for which you can rent out the whole facility such as weddings, receptions, cocktail parties,
engagement parties, family reunions, corporate retreats, conferences, and baby showers. Whether you
live in Jackson Mississippi or are just passing through this museum is worth your time.

Walker’s Drive In is a must if you’re in Jacksonville’s art district. The casual atmosphere makes it
great for the whole family to come and relax but Chef Derek Emerson’s upscale dishes make the food
something that the entire family will be talking about for ages. They have everything from seafood
to fried green tomatoes or their signature Portobello fries. Lunch is served Monday thru Friday from
11am until 2pm and cost anywhere in the neighborhood of $10 -15. Dinner starts at 5:30 Monday thru
Saturday, closed on Sundays. Children’s menus are available for kids under 10 years of age. No matter
what day of the week it is make sure you call ahead and reserve your table because a place this good is
always busy no matter what time or day it is. Walker’s Drive In is located right off I-55 on exit 98C near
the Mississippi Verterans Memorial Stadium, just past the Treehouse Boutique on your right. All deserts
are eight dollars are not something you can get anywhere else with their heath bar tiramisu or their
decadent Tres Leches with pineapple chutney. Walker’s catering is also great for large family reunions
offering a catered lunch or dinner menu. Walker’s Drive In has dishes that can’t be found anywhere else
like their BBQ Fired Oysters served with warm brie and homemade apple slaw or a personal favorite the
crab, artichoke and parmesan crusted flounder. One this is for sure at Walker’s Drive In, no matter what
you order it will be amazing.
