Things to do in Alexandria

• Alexandria Zoo-33 acres across and home to over 500 animals, the Alexandria Zoo is now much more impressive than its 1926 origins as a row of cages. Split into four themed areas, the zoo contains animals from all over the globe and has a few attractions, including the miniature railway, to keep the visit interactive. The relaxing grounds are great for a picnic, ideal for a stress-free afternoon during a busy Alexandria holiday.
• Alexandria Museum of Art-On the banks of the Red River lies the Alexandria Museum of Art. It is home to large collection of contemporary Louisiana art and is renowned for the state's biggest collection of North Louisiana Folk Art. The beautiful setting and peaceful surroundings makes the building a piece of art itself.
• Bringhurst Field-If folk art isn't for everyone, it's easy to add some sport to an Alexandria holiday. Bringhurst Field is the home ground for the city's famous baseball team. Get immersed in the excited crowd and watch a game, even non-fans can be converted by the thrill of play... and the beer.
• Ballet Alexandria-For a fast fix of culture during a holiday in Alexandria, the Ballet Alexandria produces a number of performances throughout the year. Try something different and get tickets for a show, there are some great bars round the corner if the second half doesn't appeal!
