LeFleur's Bluff Education & Tourism Complex (LBC)

Enjoy recreational and educational activities at this award-winning, accessible attraction.

The LBC is located on the shared campus between MDWFP's Mississippi Museum of Natural Science (MMNS) and the Mississippi Children's Museum (MCM) at I-55 and Lakeland Drive in Jackson, Mississippi. 

Children who play and learn in nature are more physically active, more engaged in learning, and more emotionally healthy. Outdoor experiences build visual-spatial skills, strengthen observation and creativity, improve concentration, and enhance motor and imagination skills.

Please note:

  • Dogs are not allowed anywhere on the Complex (Playground, The Den, Spotter's Adventure Trail).
  • Service animals are allowed on the Complex. 

The Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation's generous $4.2 million grant for improving the health and well-being of Mississippians made this innovative project possible and their leadership team played a visionary role in the LBC's development.

The LBC Includes:
