Wander around this historic neighborhood that runs from Amite Street across to Fortification Street and Mill Street to Lamar Street, to see old homes, shops and other buildings, many of which were built by former slaves whose descendants still live and work in the area.

Enjoy a day of fun for the entire family at this zoo that houses elephants, large cats, monkeys and more than 350 other types of animals, plus a petting zoo for the tots.
