Golfing

Spend The Day On The Course

Tour & Taste Local Breweries And Distilleries

If you both share an appreciation for local craft beer and spirits, visit a brewery or distillery right here in Baton Rouge. Our breweries and distilleries offer tours and tastings, most with their own taprooms and bars on site.

Get A History Lesson

If your dad loves all things history, especially the capital city of Baton Rouge, he’ll love walking through one of Baton Rouge’s museums. Even if your dad grew up in Baton Rouge, it’s probably been a while since he toured his state capitol and heard the stories of its colorful history.

Go On An Outdoor Adventure

From tubing and kayaking to hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities, if your dad likes to keep moving, Baton Rouge is full of adventure! Bring your own kayak or rent one to paddle the University Lakes, particularly beautiful at sunset. Walk down a winding trail at one of the city’s lush parks and see what you can discover in nature together.

Attend A Sporting Event

If your dad’s idea of quality time involves cheering from the stands with a hot dog in hand, you’re in luck—Baton Rouge is full of game-day excitement. Catch an LSU or Southern University baseball game, where the atmosphere is electric and fans show up in full force. For a more laid-back experience, check out a Baton Rouge Rougarou game. This summer collegiate team brings all the fun of baseball without the big-league crowds, making it the perfect casual outing for you and Dad.
