Welcome to the ultimate survival kit for living your best local life! Whether you’ve been here forever, just moved in, or accidentally took the wrong exit off the highway, this guide is your new best friend. Think of it as your local life GPS—minus the annoying recalculating voice. From pediatricians to childcare, playgrounds to banking, we’ve gathered the best of the best so you don’t have to rely on vague online reviews written by people who may or may not have actually visited the place. Need a trustworthy vet for your dog who thinks he’s a cat? We’ve got you. Searching for a yoga class that doesn’t take itself too seriously? Covered. Looking for a park that tires your kids out just enough for a quiet car ride home? Oh yeah, that’s in here too. This guide is your shortcut to discovering everything that makes our community awesome—all without having to pretend you enjoy small talk with strangers at the coffee shop. From The Publisher

The Ultimate Baton Rouge Bucket List for Families
HAVE A SNOWBALL Few things beat the feeling of a cold snowball on a hot Louisiana day. Through- out the city, you’ll find snowball stands serving up these delicious treats. For those with a sweet tooth, order your favorite flavor stuffed (with ice cream at the bottom) with con- densed milk on top! For the little ones, we recommend ordering them flat (no peak at the top) to avoid bigger messes when they start to melt. And they will melt, so grab extra napkins! VISIT MIKE THE TIGER Stop by and say hello to Mike, a live Bengal tiger who represents all of LSU athletics, as he lounges and plays. Mike’s habitat is located between Tiger
Stadium and Pete Maravich Assembly Center, and it features lush planting, a live oak tree, a waterfall, and a stream evolving from a rocky backdrop. PICK UP FRESH EATS Find the best produce from local farmers and shop beautiful handcrafted items when you attend a Baton Rouge farmers market. Red Stick Farm- ers Market hosts events throughout the week, including downtown Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library on Goodwood, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, and the ExxonMo- bil YMCA. Other market options include Baton Rouge Arts Market, Fresh Pickin’s Market, Hot Art
