About
The Hive on Woodland is a well-regarded indoor play space in Belle Chasse, a community located south of New Orleans across the Westbank Expressway. Serving the Plaquemines Parish area, it fills a genuine need for families in a part of the metro that doesn't have the density of entertainment venues found in Jefferson and Orleans Parishes.
The venue earns its 4.9-star rating from a community that clearly values it — this is a small independent space where quality of care and atmosphere matter enormously. The play environment is designed with young children in mind, creating appropriate scale and safety for infants through elementary-age kids.
Beyond open play, the Hive offers after-school programming and summer camps, which speaks to its role as a genuine community resource rather than just an entertainment venue. Visiting families from outside the Belle Chasse area should focus on open play sessions.
Practical planning note: the Saturday schedule appears limited or closed based on available information. Always verify current hours through thehiveonwoodland.com before making the trip, as this is a small independent operation with potentially variable scheduling.
