Forest Park Funeral Home

Instead of jeans and t-shirts and the usual laid back date, get dressed up for a romantic night out. Reach into the back of your closet for that suit or cocktail dress you rarely wear and step out to enjoy the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra. With various performances scheduled throughout the year, it's a great opportunity to absorb some classical music and soar with some of the area's culture vultures instead of the usual bar flies.

If taking a break from your usual scene and expanding your world view sounds like fun, then check out the various collections of art on display at the Meadows Museum of Art. The museum's holdings include pieces that date back to the 1800s as well as pieces by American Impressionist Alfred Maurer, German Expressionist George Grosz, and Texas Regionalist Don Brown. It's a visually captivating trip that's sure to invigorate your senses.

If the angler in you is ready to leave the workweek behind and start relaxing by catching some fish, Barron's Landing and Marina is the perfect place to escape. A great, friendly staff will make your time behind the fishing rod as stress-free as possible. It's your choice to either fish in the marina, where reeling in large bass is a frequent occurrence, or you can rent a Jon boat for only $40 and head out on your own. Either way, a great fishing excursion is only a few minutes away!
