This was my first (but not my last visit) to this baseball park. We had tickets just behind the visitors dugout. Seats were comfortable, game was lively, a lot of fun things going on. Concessions were just a tad pricey but the nachos with pulled pork were out of sight! I got a refill x 1 cup so it helped reduce the cost of beverages. Will be looking for tickets as the weather warms a little. Great fun family evening with the Tigers vs. Sacred Heart.
3. The Last Wilderness Swamp Tour
Overall Ratings
5 based on 38 reviews
A Louisiana swamp tour like no other! We are a family owned and operated business who share the same passion for the swamp. By using smaller boats, we provide an adventure deep into the magical swamps of the Atchafalaya Basin, where other swamp tours with their big boats can’t go.

I attempted to contact three different companies to book a swamp tour. Last Wilderness was the only company that answered their telephone and gave prompt, professional service when booking my tour. Our tour went deep into the Atchafalaya Basin where our guide often stopped the boat to point our animals and native vegetation. It was obvious that this company is concerned about the environment. Our guide was so helpful and patient in giving assistance to my disabled daughter who had great difficulty boarding the boat. He even included her in the conversation during the tour by asking her questions...such a rarity.

Tiger Stadium at Louisiana State University is unbelievably beautiful, as are the grounds that surround it. On the walkway through the front arches, you'll find commemorative plaques for the Tiger titles. You'll also find a statue of Mike the Tiger keeping guard at the front of the stadium.

The lock is a neat place to walk around and view from all angles. Parts of the park were a little run down, but we spoke with a guy setting up for an arts festival the upcoming weekend and hated we had to leave town. I will definitely visit again. Plenty of parking and outdoor potties.

I had fun talking to the locals as they came in from their fishing trips. Outside picnic tables were abundant and loaded with boiled crawfish which went great along with the ice cold beer. The inside was nice and cool and the atmosphere was just as friendly.

It was a nice day and Mike was out for picture taking. Make sure that you go up the ramp to the Assembly Center to see him from both sides. Also, he likes to sit up there.
8. Iberville Museum
Overall Ratings

The staff were obviously invested in the museum and shared plans for future restorations. They also made themselves available if anyone had a question. It looks like a 'nothing' place from the outside, but there are just so many items to see inside. It is also well-organized historically. They covered immigration to the area, local sports celebrities, local artists/authors, artifacts found in the area, war items and items from places of business.
We were limited in time by the tour company, so they had to drag us out at the half hour mark. I think most could have spent another half hour. Lucky they didn't have a gift shop.
They did have public restrooms, which were appreciated.

Louisiana's top university since 1860 has a beautiful, tree-covered campus and lots of attractions to visit, like the Union Art Gallery, Museum of Art, Greek Theatre and Museum of Natural Science.

The furthest south school that I had been to was Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, so when we were going through Baton Rouge and saw a chance to see LSU, we decided to take a drive through the campus. The campus and its buildings are absolutely beautiful. The buildings are rich in heritage and history.
10. USS Kidd

The U.S.S. Kidd is a Fletcher-class destroyer that was built during World War II. She was commissioned in April 1943. At the time, the U.S.S. Kid was the six hundred & sixty-first destroyer to be built for the Navy. She was named after Rear Admiral Isaac Kidd, Sr., who was killed at Pearl Harbor, as he was was aboard his flagship - the U.S.S. Arizona. She served the Navy well and even though she sustained battle damage, she was repaired and went on to serve in Korea and was decommissioned in June 1964, after 21 years of service. Buck was the docent. He was very friendly, personable and very informative about the U.S.S. Kidd. The U.S.S. Kidd is located on the Mississippi River at Baton Rouge's Riverfront Plaza. Besides the ship itself, there is also the U.S.S. Kidd Museum and the Louisiana Memorial Plaza is immediately adjacent to the museum. We happened to be there on a day when there was heavy fog, so at the beginning of our tour, the ship almost appeared ghostly. The U.S.S. Kidd has been designated a National Historic Landmark and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
