"The Festival Capital of Louisiana," Lake Charles hosts over 75 festivals each year, the most famous being Mardi Gras, the second largest in the state. The annual celebration attracts revelers with Cajun cook-offs, a children's carnival and a lighted boat parade. The city celebrates its local heritage with "Louisiana Pirate Festival," a two week long party in honor of the pirates that once sailed the local lake. The Central School Arts & Humanities Center is a stop on the African American Heritage Trail.

The kids loved the play structure and I loved the safety features. Our toddler is a bit more adventurous so preferred the big kid area over the toddler corner, but that looked nice for the little ones.

The staff is so attentive and friendly! They have something going on almost everyday of the week which is perfect for traveling for a few days. Happy hour is 4-7, ladies night on Thursdays, football on Sundays and a live band every night. My friends and I had a blast singing and dancing with all the beautiful women and men ;) that work at this establishment. Not to mention the food was so delicious! Can't wait to come back!
