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
