- JasonMinden, LA442 contributionsThis building is very historic and interesting. You can stand in the very room where Louisiana seceded from the Union. If you’re into history you’ll love it.Written March 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JasonMinden, LA442 contributionsIt was built in the twenties and appears to still be very solid.

- DJonamissionWaynesville, MO118 contributionsThis ought to be on everyone’s “to do list”. Until you’ve had the experience to experience an LSU home game, you haven’t watched football.
The band is amazing and the fans are the most loyal I have seen.Written March 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Mike XII was huge and if you are lucky enough to have a car come by it seems he loves to chase them, so you get a good view of the grandeur of this animal. On the other hand, is this the best use of university resources, one may wonder?Written November 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hermes_NL 🇳🇱Amsterdam, The Netherlands20,009 contributionsVery nice extensive collection of authentic rural houses and other artefacts, attractively placed in a manicured rural environment. Plus extensive equally attractive indoor exhibition, nice when the outdoors is rainy or hot.

- LisaPlattsburgh, NY2 contributionsDefinitely go through with the tour guide. She had a lot of info about the Louisiana area, the plantation and so much more. There were only 2 of us that went through with the guide so we were able to ask questions and see everything we wanted. Lots of interesting facts about how the plantation was run and how people lived at that time in history.Written January 18, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HistoricGuyGrand Rapids, MI66 contributionsWe really enjoyed walking around this hidden gem in Baton Rouge.

- Tammy B1 contributionTook my grandchildren for their birthday this past weekend. This was our first visit and we loved it. While a large portion is being renovated the kids still had a wonderful time. We appreciated the passes to return in the futurem and look forward to the new exhibits. The tiger exhibit was beautiful and the kids enjoyed the playground and petting zoo.Written October 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tom WKaty, TX2,944 contributionsI was a little surprised Alex Box Stadium/Skip Bertman Field was the #1 attraction in Baton Rouge until we went here. The stadium is fantastic in purple and yellow. One of the best college baseball stadiums I have ever seen.
The Head Coach Skip Bertman deserves credit. He came to LSU after 8 seasons with the University of Miami as Associate Coach where he won a National Championship.. LSU won 5 National Championships under Skip Bertman (6 in total).
The National Championship Plaza is truly amazing. LSU really knows how to highlight their accomplishments.
LSU has produced a lot of great players like Todd Walker, Ben McDonald, Aaron Nola and Alex Bregman.
I came on a day when the players were practicing. It was neat to go onto the field afterwards.
I just wished the LSU Baseball Hall of Fame was open. I would come back to see it.
One day, I'd love to come watch a game here.Written December 11, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Definitely see the mummy exhibit. The was it is organized is wonderful and gives a feel of going in a Pyramid. I will recommend people to walk outside on the river bank as well, but on a cool day. There is a planetarium as well.Written September 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- pnguin9999Saint Louis, MO17 contributionsIf walls could talk, but wait, they can through the guide. Funny, informative and did I mention free. One of the best historical tours I have taken.Written August 17, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
