10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Shreveport That You Shouldn't Miss
The Red River is the heart and soul of Shreveport, a cultural and gaming center on the Louisiana/Texas border. Riverboat casinos evoke the glamour and mystery of the past while providing modern travelers with thrills and excitement. If the tables aren't your style, take a trip over the neon-lit Texas Street Bridge to the horse-racing at Louisiana Downs in Bossier City, Shreveport's thriving sister city. Visitors can unwind in one of Shreveport's botanical oases and enjoy the area's fine waterfront dining, shopping and entertainment. Shreveport sizzles in the summertime but has a temperate climate for the rest of the year.

So glad we sought this museum out and visited! Beautiful art. My husband appreciated the gun collection. A special section of art for children. The setting is another destination not to be missed. Grounds are immaculately manicured with a walking trail to enjoy. We cannot wait to return to see hundreds of azaleas in full bloom!

First of all, everyone who works here is nice & super helpful. I can believe that they really enjoy their jobs. Second, they show great movies here! The sound & lighting is perfect & the chairs are comfortable and not sticky like "big" movie theaters. Also, Abbey Singer's is upstairs and you can take your Happy Hour drink into the theater to watch the show.

The First United Methodist Church was built 1913. It has a very interesting location at Common Street and Texas Street. My husband and I were touring the Shreveport riverfront then turned onto Texas Street. We immediately saw the First United Methodist Church in the middle of the road 8 blocks away. It was a pretty sight. The stain glass windows and building architecture was beautiful. We did not attempt to go in. It is certain worth a drive by.

Just saw the Shreveport Symphony's presentation of the music of David Bowie at the Strand Theater. Excellent show. The Strand is an excellent venue with great acoustics and excellent seating. There is literally not a bad seat in the house. We have attended many performances of the years at this venue and we have always been well rewarded.

I have visited the escape room twice and had a blast both times. The first time was with a work group on a team building exercise to see how well we worked together and we escaped. The next time I went was with family members with a teen, a 10 year old and a 5 year old and a couple of hard headed adults! We did not escape but we were close, but had a great time!

We were visiting from out of state and did 3 of their rooms. We are owners ourselves and I loved the immersive and local flavor of the voodoo room. My brother’s fav was Kidnapped! Both rooms top notch and the owner went out of her way to open early so we could do the third room! We heard great things about the Fallout room but ran out of time!

During our recent visit from England, UK to New Orleans, we visited Louisiana State Museum where the ground floor exhibitions, pictures and videos was all about the devastation, floods and aftermath from Hurricane Karina which hit New Orleans in 2005. The upper floor of the museum is a fabulous focus in the famous New Orleans Mardi Gras... with lots of the beautiful costumes worn over the years and an insight into the many Krews and Queens eyc who have ever participated in this annual event. The next Mardi Gras will be in Spring 2020. There is an admission fee to this museum but if you are on one of the Gray Line Walking Tours then admission is included in the tour price
