Hight rate 2 location for tourist in Mansfield, LA, USA
06-2025 Mansfield State Historic Site in Hight rate 2 location for tourist in Mansfield, LA, USABRECs Baton Rouge Zoo - Baton Rouge Victoria: While the summer might change this, it was so peaceful walking around. Not a lot of people, plenty of leisurely pacing and space. So cool to see (and hear!) the peacocks and peahens. The giraffe is finally out and about.
Unfortunately the Flamingo Cafe water fountains werent working, but we brought our own so plan ahead if you want free water. Otherwise its a little costly ($4 a bottle.)
Also, the playground has a roped off section. Hopefully they are able to fix that area.
The family membership is paid by just 3 visits for us (2 adults, three kids) so if you plan on going, get the membership!
Also, there are park perks if you go often enough.
Its a small zoo, but worth it just for the nature and getting out of the house.
The hippos (Spencer and Ginger) were my kids favorite.
Capitol Park Museum - Baton Rouge Martha Williams: We just had our daughters wedding ceremony and reception last Saturday at the museum. What an amazing venue! It was beautiful, both outside and inside. The director, Kelly Lee, was so easy to work with. I would recommend this venue for any of your social needs.
Burden Museum & Gardens - Baton Rouge George Olivier: This was a beautiful way to get exercise. We walked all of the trails and saw some beautiful sites. There was not much foot traffic so it was also very peaceful. In addition, the trails are very very well maintained and clear of obstacles.
Louisianas Old State Capitol - Baton Rouge Gair Brooks: Beautifully kept up, so much rich history in this building. I loves that you are able to do a self guided tour and take your time with each exhibit. There were two rooms, however, that seemed like they didnt belong there - the one with childrens coloring over the walls was just not really fitting, but I understand why its there - as an activity for kids to do...and the other with random wedding photos on the walls - my understanding is that they are displaying the wedding that have happened there? I honestly wished that it was opened on Sundays because I wanted to go back to the gift shop and purchased something - as they dont sell any of that stuff online.
Louisiana Art & Science Museum - Baton Rouge George Olivier: I was surprised by how nice the museum was. The number of ancient Egyptian artifacts was stunning and there is even an actual mummy on display. Furthermore, the movie about Egyptian burial practices was both entertaining and informative. We loved it!
Old Governors Mansion - Baton Rouge Sheila Flood: This place is both fascinating and gorgeous. It has quite a history thats worth looking up. Every room is as different, colourful and full of character as the characters who inhabited the mansion over the years, including the man who wrote You are My Sunshine. The architecture makes full use of light and interesting spaces including curved walls and the most beautiful living room. Im not sure its called a living room, but the large second floor room with the white furniture and red tiles is stunning. And the bathrooms (some of which are being renovated) are really something else!
USS KIDD Veterans Museum - Baton Rouge Gair Brooks: Small museum, but packed with memorabilia and a lot of information. First off, since the ship was being dry-docked for repairs, there was a discounted price. Second, all the information in all of the cases and next to the pictures is very informative. One thing I did find confusing was is the pirate exhibit, whose name is the same, Kidd, is that a relative of the ome who had the ship(s) named after him? I understand there is a lineage, given that his wife, after his death wanted the pirate flag flown on the ship. Other than that, its a cute little place packed with information.
LSU Museum of Art - Baton Rouge Andrea F: I came on a Saturday to visit the museum, and I am so glad I did. It was not busy at all. The rooms flowed well and I liked all of it. My favorites were the Clementine works as they left an odd aching feeling in my heart. The space station exhibit was nice as well. All of it was well worth seeing. I would recommend to anyone in the area.
Mike the Tigers Habitat - Baton Rouge Jaylah: I LOVE visiting Mike!! He is usually sleep but I love visiting him either way. When he is active, He sometimes swims to in his pool or walks around his habitat.
