It's home to one of LIGO's two gravitational wave detectors, our facility operates in tandem with LIGO Hanford to listen for the faint whispers of gravitational waves from the most energetic events in the universe. LIGO Livingston is also home to LIGO's Science Education Center, which hosts schools, teacher workshops, tours and monthly Science Saturdays - where the public is invited to explore the science and engineering that underpin our quest to study the universe via gravitational waves.
LIGO's Science Education Center is a unique field trip opportunity that allows students to interact with scientists and engineers doing real science, and to experience hands on science through our interactive exhibit hall.

Number of students: 60 or less total.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Vehicles MUST REMAIN ON SITE DURING THE FIELD TRIP. LIGO Livingston is in a remote location & we are sensitive to vibrations, therefore for the safety of the children and in order to keep LIGO's instrument working well, adults MUST remain on-site with their school-children while at LIGO.
Be sure to check out resources on the website ahead of the tour so kids can participate in the Q&A with LIGO Scientists!

Whitney Plantation is the only plantation museum in Louisiana with an exclusive focus on the lives of enslaved people. Students will learn about the history of slavery on a Louisiana sugarcane plantation through a guided 90-minute walking tour. Visit Whitney’s memorials and restored buildings to enter the world of a Louisiana sugar plantation and to remember those who built and worked this property. On your walking tour, your guide shows you through slave cabins, a freedmen’s church, detached kitchen and outbuildings, a 1790s owner’s house and memorials built to honor the enslaved.
Educators who have not visited our site previously, and are planning on bringing young visitors, should be aware that history of slavery is a mature subject. We recommend that you review our website and our online reviews in advance and exercise your discretion.
