The 8 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Shreveport, Louisiana (LA)
The Red River is the heart and soul of Shreveport, a cultural and gaming center on the Louisiana/Texas border. Riverboat casinos evoke the glamour and mystery of the past while providing modern travelers with thrills and excitement. If the tables aren't your style, take a trip over the neon-lit Texas Street Bridge to the horse-racing at Louisiana Downs in Bossier City, Shreveport's thriving sister city. Visitors can unwind in one of Shreveport's botanical oases and enjoy the area's fine waterfront dining, shopping and entertainment. Shreveport sizzles in the summertime but has a temperate climate for the rest of the year.

So glad we sought this museum out and visited! Beautiful art. My husband appreciated the gun collection. A special section of art for children. The setting is another destination not to be missed. Grounds are immaculately manicured with a walking trail to enjoy. We cannot wait to return to see hundreds of azaleas in full bloom!

First of all, everyone who works here is nice & super helpful. I can believe that they really enjoy their jobs. Second, they show great movies here! The sound & lighting is perfect & the chairs are comfortable and not sticky like "big" movie theaters. Also, Abbey Singer's is upstairs and you can take your Happy Hour drink into the theater to watch the show.

Just saw the Shreveport Symphony's presentation of the music of David Bowie at the Strand Theater. Excellent show. The Strand is an excellent venue with great acoustics and excellent seating. There is literally not a bad seat in the house. We have attended many performances of the years at this venue and we have always been well rewarded.

I have visited the escape room twice and had a blast both times. The first time was with a work group on a team building exercise to see how well we worked together and we escaped. The next time I went was with family members with a teen, a 10 year old and a 5 year old and a couple of hard headed adults! We did not escape but we were close, but had a great time!

We were visiting from out of state and did 3 of their rooms. We are owners ourselves and I loved the immersive and local flavor of the voodoo room. My brother’s fav was Kidnapped! Both rooms top notch and the owner went out of her way to open early so we could do the third room! We heard great things about the Fallout room but ran out of time!

We were here to see ZZ Top on their 50th anniversary tour, a band on my bucket list. And the venue was just a bonus. Beautiful old building with an awesome facade. Reminded me a little of the Ryman in Nashville. Home of the Louisiana Hayride and such legends as Hank Williams Sr. and Elvis performed here. In fact there are statues out front of Elvis and his guitarist Louisiana native James Burton. We were in the balcony and could see the stage great. But a warning, the seats are tight with very little legroom. So if you aren't flexible or are heavyset you may prefer the floor seats. Also our seats were not padded while the seating on either side of our section was so that was a little odd. Otherwise it is well worth the visit. It has a seating capacity of about 3200 so it fills up quick and the parking is a little limited. But exiting the parking was very easy. And the concert was great, if you get the chance to see ZZ Top definitely go.
