Going on a safari is an adventure all within itself, but getting to interact with the animals you see takes the whole safari idea to a higher level. And that's exactly the level you'll be on when you visit Shreveport's Jubilee Zoo. That safari, by the way, reflects Louisiana flavor as it performs double duty as a hayride! There's also a petting zoo, a moonwalk, picnic areas and carousel ponies, just to mention a few of the fun attractions you'll experience on this all-day adventure. All of nature's wildlife is within your reach, and when it is all gathered together in such an accessible, engaging place like the Jubilee Zoo, you'll want the celebration to continue for as long as possible.
The Olde Covered Bridge Gardens features an ever changing bouquet of flowering plants all surrounding this historic bridge in one of the most visually captivating corners of the city. You'll find that this is a great place for spending time outdoors.
Each November, the area's best local and regional musicians along with some nationally recognized artists gather for the Highland Jazz and Blues Festival. Known as Shreveport's "party in the park," there's a whole lot more than just the incredible music. You'll see unique jewelry, home décor, and other one-of-a-kind items for sale by participating artisans. Two stages feature rotating musical acts, and the five hours of live music and fun are absolutely free!
If your schedules and other commitments keep you and your main squeeze from leaving town for a romantic trip, why not journey to the Fairfield Bed and Breakfast? The two of you will be pampered by the king size European beds, fireplaces and whirlpool tubs - elements that make it easy to lose the week's stress and allow the two of you to get close without any interruptions. Fairfield's two adjoining homes were built around 1870 and feature a 1-acre green garden oasis, a perfect venue for you and your honey to take a walk through after you arrive in the evening or just before breakfast in the morning.
