We love to go outside and explore. One of our favorite things is to go on walks in different parks and nature preserves.
We have visited the Cohn Arboretum in Baton Rouge several times in the past couple years. The Arboretum tends to be fairly quiet.
There is always lots to explore along the two paved pathways that circle around a lake, green house, rose garden, bamboo and skirts a wooded area. The one mile trail provides you with lots to look at which keeps S interested.
We particularly love to visit in the spring when all the plants and trees are blooming.
The Cohn Arboretum is a wonderful place to take photos. I cannot help but get a few shots of S each trip to the Arboretum.
A visit to the Cohn Arboretum is a fun, healthy, FREE activity for the whole family. Yes, there is no admission fee for the Cohn Arboretum.
Have you been to a local arboretum? Does your family like to explore the outdoors?

Very beautiful! I didn’t realize you had another daughter Paris! So awesome, we are just alike!
We have a botanical garden in Atlanta but I haven’t made the trip there yet.

Our little one has recently discovered flowers and how fun it is to smell them. In the past, he just tore the petals off them. Boys, so destructive!
mybigfathappylife says
Boys are so different than girls 🙂
Holly says
This is beautiful! I wish we had somewhere similar around here! We do have a lake with trails closeby, and we try to go frequently!
mybigfathappylife says
That sounds lovely Holly!
Natalie says
That is gorgeous! I’ve only been to LA once, but I was stunned at how pretty all of the natural areas were. We don’t have an arboretum near me in SC, but we DO have lots of pretty parks!
mybigfathappylife says
That’s perfect too Natalie!

What a beautiful place! Louisiana is full of beautiful places to visit. The food is great, too! =) My husband’s family lives in New Orleans so we get down there several times a year and always try to get out and explore something new. Thanks for sharing!
mybigfathappylife says
Yes, the food is amazing in Louisiana! Definitely one of the best things!
