I recently visited Lou Gardens with my four-month-old for their monthly storytelling session, and it was an experience to remember! Although we arrived super late, the staff was kind enough to still let us in. The session was absolutely wonderful—a lively and engaging performer with a guitar captivated the children with songs, dances, and playful interactions. The energy was contagious, making everyone laugh and clap, even my four-month-old was enthralled by the joyful atmosphere.
