TANGIPAHOA PARISH
SOUTH LOUISIANA
Giraffes, llamas, and kangaroos OH MY! Take a walk on the wild
side of Louisiana at Global Wildlife where you can wiggle a camel’s
hump, count the stipes on a zebra, and hand-feed the gigantic
yet gentle giraffes. This safari style adventure showcases these
exotic or endangered animals in their natural, free-roaming habitat
while the visitors tour the 900 acres in the comfort of a wagon or
Pinz (Jeep style) vehicle.
Continue your Tangipahoa Parish visit by plowing through south-
eastern Louisiana learning why, here, strawberry is King and
about the farming industry. Turn back the hands of time at the
Louisiana Renaissance Festival. Wet your whistle on the
Tangipahoa Brewery Trail. Get up close and personal with monster
-sized alligators at Kliebert’s. Seek out spirits at the Rise Haunted
House. Or spend a day leisurely strolling down the sidewalks of
America’s Antique City of Ponchatoula. Plan your trip accordingly
to enjoy festival fun at the Oyster, Sicilian Heritage, Strawberry,
or Italian Festivals.
Whether your groups are looking for family fun, girlfriend getaways,
outdoor adventures, religious retreats, or cultural experiences,
we’re cooking up something sweet for you! Tangipahoa Parish is
as diverse as its people. Let us show you why sometimes off the
beaten path is often where the greatest adventures begin!
