There's always something fun happening at the Baton Rouge River Center. What better way to keep cool than to hit the ice at the center's expansive ice skating rink. This fun activity is available on selected days of the month during the summer. Also, big-name attractions are featured frequently, like the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, various musical acts, and even specialized event shows like the bi-annual bridal fair.

The Afton Villa Gardens stand as proof that there can be beauty among the ruins. These breathtaking gardens rest on the terraced ruins of the palatial home built by Susan Barrow in 1849. These are 250-acres of trees, plants and flowers that line a winding walking trail. Take a stroll along this gorgeous path that always proves to be a calming, restorative exercise no matter what the season. And speaking of seasons, when spring brings the flowering and budding of these plants and trees, it also brings throngs of nature lovers to see the indescribable outdoor beauty unfold right before their eyes.

It doesn't matter if you're in from out of town or live in Baton Rouge with your sweetheart, a nice getaway is only as far away as the Stockade Bed and Breakfast. The charming ambiance and scenic location make it the perfect destination. If your respective schedules make it difficult for the two of you to coordinate a vacation, or if your budget requires you two to take a "stay-cation" this year, a night or two at the Stockade Bed and Breakfast is the perfect romantic detour.
