On the topic of 225 things to do in Baton Rouge, dozens of images come to mind. From the shadow of Tiger Stadium to the peak of the State Capitol to the arching, mossy branches of oaks along Highland Road, our city is full of iconic sights.
Consider the white roller-coaster tracks stretching up into the sky right off of Interstate 10. It’s the landmark welcoming you to the southern border of the parish and announcing Dixie Landin’, Baton Rouge’s thrillseeker destination since 1999.
Now nearing its 20th birthday, the park next to Blue Bayou aims to keep crowds happy with a variety of attractions from Tilt-a-Whirls and stomach-swooping pendulum rides to tower drops and the signature coaster, the Ragin’ Cajun. We drew inspiration from the colors, sights and sounds of the park for this year’s first batch of summer looks.
