The best things to do in CenLA

“Links On the Bayou brings an American links-style, Mike Young designed 18 that plays fun for all, with five tee boxes and year-round smooth, fast greens. Hit the range, putting and chipping areas, then go low and see why Golf Digest called it Louisiana’s best muni back in 2009.”

“OakWing Golf Club is a Jim Lipe design that blends Louisiana bayous, lakes, and towering tree-lined fairways with rolling hills and undulating greens, so every shot actually matters. Grab a post-work round, then debrief at the OakWing Bar and Grill like the CenLA regular you are.”

“Key2Escape is CenLA’s go-to for brain-twisty escape rooms where you and your crew sleuth, decode, and triumph against the clock. Pick your vibe, from Alone at Home to Slasher to Riddledown, then prove you’ve still got teamwork skills that don’t involve a group text.”

“Skip the road trip and wander through natural habitats filled with playful primates, big cats, and birds from around the globe at Alexandria Zoological Park. It’s the kind of easy, feel-good outing that resets your week, with seasonal happenings like Zoo Boo, Zoo Brew, and Holiday Light Safari.”

“Whether you sling strikes or just want arcade button-mashing between fries and a cold one, Four Seasons Bowling Center delivers. Run by actual bowlers, it packs lanes, the KE Cafe, Alley Bar, and The Pocket Pro Shop into one easy hang, so rally the crew this week.”
