If you’re feeling curious, explore Sci-Port Discovery Center or meet sting rays at the Shreveport Aquarium. Want to play instead? Head to Chasing Aces, Shreveport-Bossier’s newest golf and entertainment complex.

Lunch is an experience at Abby Singer’s Bistro, where Chef Niema DeGrazia, a South African native and Beat Bobby Flay champ, serves up Afro-fusion dishes with a view of downtown. Or opt for a local legend—Orlandeaux’s Crosslake Café, one of the oldest continuously operating Black-owned businesses in the U.S., with family recipes full of flavor.

For an artsy outing, make something unforgettable at the ClayGround or High Gravity Glassworks with a pottery or glassblowing lesson.
