This wee zoo always delivers! I grew up in the area and visited this zoo dozens of times as a…read morechild, and again when I brought my nephews to the zoo for a fun day out. I have not been to this zoo in about five years until this visit. My mother and I went to the zoo to see the new panther kitten but it wasn't on display that day which was disappointing but not unexpected. This zoo is well maintained, offers the usual array of animals (otters, lions, a wide variety of birds), and specializes in the Louisiana exhibit, which I always like to see. You can get food to feed the gigantic koi in the river running through the zoo at the gift shop for some fun but be sure to recycle the cup when you are finished. Staff does a great job of keeping the zoo clean, and the caretakers will answer any questions you have about the animals. I love this zoo and know you will too. Enjoy the zoo!

This park has a small parking lot and is a park that is known for it trails and happens to have a…read moresmall playground. The playground is half decent. It has a ship themed jungle gym that has a couple of slides. It is on a rubbery mat surface that is worn and has seen better days. The park is relatively well maintained, even though there are some areas that can use a little attention. There are 3 different paved trails that can bu used for jogging or walking. One of the trails has an observation deck off of the side of it that is nice, but you can see where they removed some graffiti from the wood. The deck overlooks a marsh area. The park has benches around the playground area and along the trails and has lots of green area to play catch or run around. The lawn is very well maintained and there is decent lighting along the trails. The park is dog friendly, if they are on a leash. I like this park, but it could be a little cleaner and the playground could be a bit bigger. This is a nice park to walk/run around to clear your head and/or take in the day.

Next to the pavilion is a spash pad to cool off on those hot summer days in Louisiana. There is a also a fun playground for your kids. Near the park is the Alexandria Zoo, which we didn't get to check out, but it looks small, but nice. Also, there is an old baseball field that is there too.

Which I think is ridiculous since we are not playing and watching the kids play. They do let you do birthday party's there as well. Overall I like the place the kids had a blast but it is pretty pricey. I will go back out once in a while.
