Characterised by its port on the Mississippi, its wonderful Art Deco buildings, the tallest capitol in the nation and lush greenery, this is a destination that will quickly win you over with its Cajun charm.
Being a largely nature-based destination, much of the appeal of Baton Rouge lies in the fact that it is an escape from the big city-feel of many other state capitals, offering the wonderful swamplands, marshes and bayous of Cajun Country, right on the doorstep. Parents can take advantage of the easily accessible nature reserves, giving children an opportunity to get up close with the region’s wildlife.
Mardi Gras: the term ‘Mardi Gras’ encompasses an entire six-week period of festivities, which include masked balls, parades, street parties and feasting. Originally introduced by French colonists, visitors can see some of the region’s best musicians and enjoy firework displays, with Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras Day being the real highlights.
In addition to Baton Rouge’s historical antebellum plantation homes and plentiful museums, the city has a few other attractions hidden up its sleeves. As a former site of some military importance, the USS KIDD and the Old Arsenal Museum provide a fascinating glimpse of the city’s military past, while more light-hearted attractions such as the Baton Rouge Zoo and Louisiana Art and Science Museum are suitable for all of the family
