I arrived after a tour had started but was able to "join in" and watch the movie after the tour. Well maintained property & very interesting information. The barn in the back with farm equipment was very interesting. Nice display of sugar processing plant--and samples...MoreThank you for visiting The West Baton Rouge Museum!

This was my first (but not my last visit) to this baseball park. We had tickets just behind the visitors dugout. Seats were comfortable, game was lively, a lot of fun things going on. Concessions were just a tad pricey but the nachos with pulled pork were out of sight! I got a refill x 1 cup so it helped reduce the cost of beverages. Will be looking for tickets as the weather warms a little. Great fun family evening with the Tigers vs. Sacred Heart.

Tiger Stadium at Louisiana State University is unbelievably beautiful, as are the grounds that surround it. On the walkway through the front arches, you'll find commemorative plaques for the Tiger titles. You'll also find a statue of Mike the Tiger keeping guard at the front of the stadium.

This place is stuffed with information in thorough, interesting, detailed displays. You can go through it more quickly if you need to and still take away some good knowledge, but the best thing is to allow a few hours to really take it all in....or...MoreThank you for your kind review!

It was a nice day and Mike was out for picture taking. Make sure that you go up the ramp to the Assembly Center to see him from both sides. Also, he likes to sit up there.

Louisiana's top university since 1860 has a beautiful, tree-covered campus and lots of attractions to visit, like the Union Art Gallery, Museum of Art, Greek Theatre and Museum of Natural Science.

The furthest south school that I had been to was Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, so when we were going through Baton Rouge and saw a chance to see LSU, we decided to take a drive through the campus. The campus and its buildings are absolutely beautiful. The buildings are rich in heritage and history.
9. USS Kidd
Overall Ratings

The U.S.S. Kidd is a Fletcher-class destroyer that was built during World War II. She was commissioned in April 1943. At the time, the U.S.S. Kid was the six hundred & sixty-first destroyer to be built for the Navy. She was named after Rear Admiral Isaac Kidd, Sr., who was killed at Pearl Harbor, as he was was aboard his flagship - the U.S.S. Arizona. She served the Navy well and even though she sustained battle damage, she was repaired and went on to serve in Korea and was decommissioned in June 1964, after 21 years of service. Buck was the docent. He was very friendly, personable and very informative about the U.S.S. Kidd. The U.S.S. Kidd is located on the Mississippi River at Baton Rouge's Riverfront Plaza. Besides the ship itself, there is also the U.S.S. Kidd Museum and the Louisiana Memorial Plaza is immediately adjacent to the museum. We happened to be there on a day when there was heavy fog, so at the beginning of our tour, the ship almost appeared ghostly. The U.S.S. Kidd has been designated a National Historic Landmark and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

My husband and I were in Baton Rouge on our New Orleans trip. We drove over to Baton Rouge to see the capital building. We went over to the old capital, which should been open, but we couldn't get in. The outside looked beautiful, though.
