6 Sweet Things To Do Indoors

Great River Road Museum at Houmas House

Beat the heat and enjoy some of the many sweet things to do in Ascension Parish!

  1. Do you like museums? You’re in luck we have two must-see museums in Ascension Parish! On the grounds of Houmas House Estate and Gardens, learn about the early life of the Mississippi River and visit the Great River Road Museum. After your discovery, cross the Sunshine Bridge and go to Donaldsonville to delve into more history and culture at the River Road African American Museum.

  2. Shop til you drop! Shop over 65 brands at Tanger Outlets in Gonzales and explore the many unique Shops at the Cajun Village! Don’t forget to stop in the coffee house for beignets & cafe au lait! Plus, take your phone out and snap a few pictures of Big Boy and Nubby ( 2 resident alligators in the pond out back)!

  3. Visit the area distilleries and breweries! Ascension Parish is home to Noel Family Distillery, Sugarfield Spirits, Wine and Cidery, and Gilla Brewing Co.

  4. Go bowling, watch a movie, or play arcade games at Premier Entertainment Center! There is something for the whole family to enjoy!

  5. Have you ever thrown axes? It’s ok if you haven’t! LA Threaux is ready to teach you! They are open Wednesday-Sundays. Don’t forget to wear your closed-toed shoes and bring your food and drinks!

  6. Enjoy the many events that Ascension Parish has to offer this month! There is something for everyone to enjoy in Louisiana’s Sweet Spot. Just check out our calendar of events!
