If you're a real nature lover and want to see animals from all over the world but don't have the time or resources to make the trip, the Global Wildlife Center is a total must-see! This is the largest totally free-roaming wildlife preserve of its kind in the world. The 900-acre center is home to over 4,000 exotic, endangered and threatened animals from all over the planet. You can actually feed and touch the animals when you take the guided safari tour. Just reach out and touch a fascinating world of nature.

Crawfish is synonymous with Louisiana, so celebrate that fact at the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival. Held every year, the gathering is considered to be one of the best food festivals in the whole country. Great family fun, live music, and lots of crawfish! Make sure you have some cool water or beverage for all the spicy fun.

If you and your sweetie love the theater, check out some of the best local talent at the Baton Rouge Little Theater. See some of the city's most talented thespians practice their art on such well-known productions as Guys and Dolls, Hairspray, and more. Plan a romantic night, buy your tickets early and come prepared to be entertained by a truly fun and personal theater experience.

If the two of you can't quite agree on the cuisine of choice for your date, opt for both Italian with a French twist at Fleur de Lis Pizza . A local favorite for over twenty years, enjoy hand-made pizza with a wide choice of toppings in a casual, retro-style atmosphere. The sodas and beers are so cold, you won't need a glass, and if you think you'd like to have half of your pizza later at home with your date, the friendly staff will half-bake your Roman pizza pie so you can keep it in your freezer and warm it up later.
