Baton Rouge

Review:

Baton Rouge is the capital city of Louisiana and the state’s second largest city. Family activities include a water park called Blue Bayou and Dixie Landin’ and the Baton Rouge Zoo. Visitors can tour both the current, working capitol building as well as the former capitol building, which now operates as a museum. Visitors can also tour the USS Kidd, a retired Navy destroyer. Baton Rouge also features several other museums and historic sites such as the Baton Rouge Gallery, the Magnolia Mound Plantation House, and the LSU Rural Life Museum, which tells the story of life in 19th century Louisiana. Atchafalaya Basin, the largest swamp in the United States, is located nearby and offers many recreational opportunities.
