Things to Do in Baton Rogue

Once you arrive, drop your bags at your Baton Rouge accommodation and get ready to explore the city! The youngest members of your group will appreciate a trip to the Baton Rouge Zoo or to Blue Bayou Water Park, one of the largest amusement parks in the state. You’ve probably heard all about Louisiana’s alligators, and to see some of them you’ll need to book a swamp tour. It’s a thrill to catch the glassy stare of a real-life alligator, but you may also be surprised by the beauty of the swamp itself.

What’s that? Your belly is rumbling? Not to fear, for you are in the heart of Creole/Cajun nation! Dig into a steaming plate of jambalaya, learn all the ways crawfish can be cooked and finish your meal on the perfect sweet note with a powdered beignet.

When the sun goes down, hit the jazz clubs or the many rowdy bars around the LSU campus and teach the young-uns some real dance moves.

Getting to & Around Baton Rogue

Fly into Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) or into Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). You can cab it around town, but since Baton Rouge is so spread out the easiest and cheapest thing to do is pick up one of Wotif’s car hire deals.

You won’t be able to relax on your holiday if you paid too much for your accommodation in Baton Rouge. Book your trip with Wotif and save cash—cash better spent by extending your annual leave with some time in the famous New Orleans (only 129 km from Baton Rouge)! With the New Orleans accommodation you’ll get through us, the party never has to stop.
