Attractions & Activities

Hugging the shores of the mighty Mississippi, neighboring New Orleans, Jefferson is the ideal location to spend time with your family. Most attractions, restaurants, theaters and even outdoor activities are within a short distance of hotels. You can treat the kids to a morning at the aquarium, feed the alligators in the Barataria swamps, and take in a live theater performance all in one day! Take in a ball game; spend the day fishing in Sportsman’s Paradise, or just relaxing in the park.
