In 1699, this inland port on the Mississippi River became Baton Rouge, now the capital of Louisiana. Visitors will want to tour the Louisiana’s Old State Capital, known as the “castle-on-the-river”. It is comprised of Gothic and Victorian architecture and guests can climb the cast iron staircase for area views through the stained glass cathedral dome. Families will discover over 1,800 animals at the beautifully landscaped Baton Rogue Zoo. Within the grounds they will find the Otter Pond, Parrot Paradise, a KidsZoo, and ride on the White Tiger Tram. Families will explore interactive children’s galleries and the planetarium at the Louisiana Art and Science Museum and Irene W. Pennington Planetarium. For a fun family escape from touring, families will enjoy two entertainment parks such as Dixie Landin’ for amusement rides and games like the Splinter and Gilbeau’s Galaxi. Families can take a splash in the water rides at the Blue Bayou.
