Things to Do with Dad in Baton Rouge
Whether your dad is an adventure seeker, a sports lover, a history buff, or just loves to relax, Baton Rouge offers a variety of activities that will make your time together memorable.
Here are some top suggestions for things to do with your dad in Baton Rouge for Father's Day or just spending time with your pops!
Spend The Day On The Course
Golfing is a great way to spend the day in beautiful Baton Rouge. Choose a tee time for you and your dad at any one of our pristine courses, or if the weather doesn't permit or you would prefer to be indoors, we have options for that, as well!
Refuel At A Local Sports Bar
Pull up a barstool and catch a game at one of the city’s sports bars. With multiple sports bars throughout the city, you’re sure to find somewhere to grab a beer and some bar food with Dad.
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.
