The 10 Best Game & Entertainment Centers in Louisiana, United States
Louisiana tourism is centered on New Orleans and the North Shore region in the southeastern corner of the state near the Florida border. West of New Orleans is the Great River Road, with the I-10 running to the Mississippi River port capital city of Baton Rogue. West of New Orleans along the Gulf of Mexico, the I-10 cuts through Lafayette and Lake Charles on its way past Abbeville to Texas. Central Louisiana is Lake Country, and home to cities like Alexandria and Natchitoches. In northern Louisiana, the I-20 runs west from Monroe to Bossier City, Shreveport, and East Texas. Unless Louisiana is very familiar and frequent territory, New Orleans will be the top choice for a Louisiana vacation. Though Mardi Gras, music, and the winning ways of the New Orleans Saints football team get the spotlight, there is much more to explore in New Orleans. Within New Orleans choose among Bourbon Street, Royal Street, the Upper and Lower French Quarters, the Warehouse and Central Business District, the Garden District and Uptown, and Mid-City. With street car lines linking the French Quarter to the Garden District, Convention Center, and everywhere else, it is easy for the whole family to get around. If long walks are your exercise, explore the scenic city on foot. An easy two-hour drive from New Orleans brings you to Baton Rogue, Natchitoches and Lake Country. Explore old Beauregard Town in downtown Baton Rogue, the historic homes of the Baton Rogue Garden District, and tour one or several working plantations. Walk the 33-block Historic Landmark District and tour the historic homes and churches of Natchitoches. Relive Spanish Empire history in Louisiana at Fort St. Jean Baptiste State Historic Site. Heading west from New Orleans is Cajun Country and Lafayette with its mix of French, French Canadian (Acadian), Spanish, and Caribbean cultures. Besides Cajun and Creole cookery, explore the Civil War heritage at the Lafayette Museum. Stop by Abbeville to view the courthouse designed by Hayes Town, St. Mary Magdalen Church, and have a seafood meal. With 75 annual festivals Lake Charles is Louisiana's Festival City, and home to the Creole Nature Trail Scenic Byway. Shreveport and Bossier City in northwest Louisiana are casino and entertainment centers. Shreveport is renowned for hosting the Louisiana State Fair in the fall. Plus floral centers, art galleries, and museums. Monroe in the northeast also has notable gardens.

If you like go karts you'll love this place. I was scared at first they would tip over then the staff told me no way. So then I tried go fast without hitting the brakes and well that was impossible. These go karts go FAST! I spun out several times. It was a blast. Try it in the rain! I spun off the track and did several 360's. Loved it. My kids age 13 & 15 loved it too!

We were staying at Oak View BnB right across the street from City Park, a 20 sq acres pristine park in New Orleans and decided to play Putt Putt golf one day. We walked thru the park to the 2 separate 18 hole Putt Putt courses. $9 per adult $6 for children and had a ball. Of course there were a couple unsupervised boys being boys and trying to interrupt other golfers games, playing the holes backwards. After I gave them a stern lecture they left the course. It was very fun and we are in our 60s. The rest of the park could take 2 days to see everything. A walking Sculpture 3 acre area. Amusement park. Cafe DuMound where the serve the best Beignets and famous Chickory Coffee, if in New Orleans you have to find 1 of the 3 Cafe DuMound. Great fun at Mini-Golf. Great fund at City Park. Great stay with Mr Russel at Oak View BnB. WhoDat is a Nola saying. Please go have fun. Terry

I started bringing my kid to 6 when he was a little over a year old. He’s going to be two in April and this place is literally a part of his developing vocabulary. This little monster requests “6 for jumps” at least twice a week. We get the passes to make it easier on the pocket, but it’s safe, clean, the employees are SUPER NICE! I love this place and because it’s my sons favorite place it’s temp controlled so yeah around fun! It’s absolutely the best... OH DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES IN YIUR POCKETS, DIGGING THROUGH THE FOAM TO FIND IT IS TIME CONSUMING, but it can b a bonding experience! LOL!!!!
