This place is a historic gem. Honestly just to be able to shop in a store so historic with so much history is amazing. It is so neat to think of how many generations has been shopping here let alone running this place. Check out the cash register that’s over 100 years old that they still use every day. Definitely worth stopping by.
Hunter — Google review
Very cool store, a little pricy tho. Employees are super nice and very helpful so a premium price is worth it.
Jared “ — Google review
The historic aspect of it is really neat. As you wander around it will have original parts of the store and explain it. The store itself is like part hardware store part home goods. You can buy PVC pipe in one area and pickle grabbers in another. Perfume and jewelry to kids toys and saws. A little over priced for the things. I’d like to have seen more local items etc

Super cool store, lots of unique gifts and old style toys plus hardware. Great Christmas shop upstairs too. Highly recommended!
Starryeyedprincess — Google review
The employee upstairs, I believe his name was Justin, was extremely helpful. The store itself is incredible. It’s a true general store that has a fun exploration feeling rather than the generic Walmart feeling that is perfunctory and monotonous. This store is a piece of history and I can close my eyes and see our ancestors walking along the floors. A genuine enjoyment
Orange F — Google review
Love the store! It was adorable and filled with a bunch of goodies. A kind woman downstairs explained that there was an upstairs section I could continue shopping in - I went upstairs and the young lady responsible for upstairs followed my fiancé and I around. It put a sour taste in my mouth and we left promptly. I hope that this was an abnormal experience, and doesn’t happen to anyone else.

Today was Christmas on the Cane at Fort St Jean Baptiste State Historic Site. It is replica of the original Military and trading Fort. The very knowledgeable staff was demonstrating life in the 18th century. They were dressed in period clothing demonstrating cooking, rifle shooting, blacksmithing and making fire. They also have examples of items that were traded such as furs and beads. It's a must see for all ages so mark your calendar for next year!!

Awesome experience ! The museum offers a nice video that gives a better understanding of the life in this area during the French colonialist time. We were really happy to discover the real size fort replica in which the colons where living. They have an original map of the fort and where able to build it like it was in the 18th century. It’s a must seen and a really well thought museum and ground.

Really cool historical site / museum, where you can see an exact replica of the old Fort St. Jean Baptiste which was originally located not far from here. Even being a replica, the attention to detail put into the fort gives you an immersive feeling of what it was like being here over 200 years ago. The museum is small but has a few awesome dioramas as well as artifacts. No question that this is worth the stop and $4 entry.

There was almost no traffic when we visited this historic gem. Staff was super friendly, the Fort was impressive (even as a replica), and the cost was next to nothing. Highly recommend visiting if you're into history.

Definitely worth the hour drive. It wasn’t crowded at all, everyone is missing out. We got to see plenty of animals besides gators. I got to hold a baby one! They offered bags of food for some of the smaller farm type animals as well which was fun for the kids. We missed the feeding times so we will definitely make the time to visit again!
Liz H — Google review
This was an amazing experience for the kids. We were on a family road trip to Louisiana from California. We were not really prepared for the heat. You will literally be walking through a swamp, but hey, you get to feed gators and see a bunch of other cool animals. Altogether, the park had about 1-2 hours of stuff to do. It's definitely not a big place, but this was a perfect size for our family trip.

Just got back to our B&B and we can’t stop talking about this place. Evan, Josh, and the GM (we didn’t catch his name) were amazing. Josh was knowledgeable and entertaining, Evan was intelligent and very funny. We were there for 4 hours and saw two gator shows, both with facts and jokes all throughout. We got all of our questions answered and we got to hold two snakes, a baby gator, and a bearded dragon! The GM in the gift shop/admission office was very funny and was more than happy to help us get more feed for the animals. Definitely will be going again when the gators are more active!
Kurt S — Google review
Great experience! Easily spent 2+ hours here and worth paying to feed the critters. Very open to wander and the staff were eager to show us the animals and let the kids (teenagers) hold - you have to pay for a wrist band to hold the animals, but highly recommend it. We happened to come right at opening on a weekday and had the park to ourselves for over an hour. The park was very clean and the animals were by well cared for.

We had a very fun filled couple hours at Gator country! Had 6 kids total in our group from 8yrs and younger - all of them enjoyed holding the baby gator, snakes, and more. Mr Leo answered all our questions and was super helpful! Best part was being in the mini pool with the baby alligators!!

Had a great time here, feeding the different animals. And being able to hold the baby alligator. I think they should add hay to the feeding options for the guinea pigs. I recommend this place if you are in the area.

Great place to see alligators, snakes, tortoises, goats and chickens. You can feed everything except the snakes. Most of the animals you can pet. They have a concession stand and gift shop. Clean park.

An awesome experience. Fun for the whole family. Very knowledgeable staff. The baby alligators were adorable and we got to cuddle them. We fed the alligators hot dogs from sticks and they looked to enjoy as much as we did. I can't say enough great things about this place. The tortoises 🐢 were very happy and friendly. Make sure and catch one of the feeding shows they have. A lot of knowledge and fun.

Wonderful architecture for the building! Very cool to see how it was built. My daughter studied it in her college architecture class and also loves basketball, so I brought her up to see it. She loved every bit of it! Both times I've been there, the workers have been very welcoming and informative. As we were leaving this time, the gentleman asked if we went out on the balcony. I didn't realize they had a balcony so we of course we hadn't gone on it. He said oh you have to check it out! So he told us how to get to it and it was definitely worth it! The view were really cool! If you are an architecture or sports fan, definitely check this place out!

Open since 1931, a fish hatchery with 53 ponds & an aquarium on a historic Native American site.
Slide 1 of 8
This is a small but nice aquarium. The hatchery is located on an original Caddo village so they have dioramas of the village and artifacts found on the grounds as well. There are fish, turtles, and an alligator named Kevin. I love that there's a ledge all the way around the room so kids can easily stand and walk on it to see into the tanks without parents having to pick them up. They have nice bathrooms but if you're in there too long without moving, the sensor lights turn off, leaving you in the dark. You'll have to use your phone light to light up the stall after that. Don't ask how I know that. 😌 This is a quick little stop but fun.

Carla B — Google review
In reading the other reviews here, I don't see anyone mentioning a great aspect of this little jewel. We are nature/bird lovers and the walk along the levee was the best part...just being outdoors and a lot of bird activity including some species that we just don't get to see at home which is about 60 miles away. The staff are welcoming. The mini aquarium is very nice...take time to actually read up/study on some of the species housed there before you go and I think it may take more than 10 minutes of admiring these animals for what they are...some of them are basically living fossils, being the descendants of species that have existed for a long, long, long time. Anyway, I wish we lived closer because I would love to be able to walk the levee area in all seasons :)

Came here on a perfectly gloomy, drizzly day. I have no idea where the parking lot is, so I just randomly parked and started walking. The history here was so incredible to see. Seeing graves from soldiers of the revolutionary war was amazing to me. Some graves so old the engravings have worn off with time. Some of the graves are a bit more modern, but I enjoyed just seeing the history of people from the past. Just a neat place to stop in

This is a beautiful and serene place. There is such history here. The cemetery dates back to the mid 1700's, though the headstones only date back to late 1700's. It is one of the if not the oldest cemetery in Louisiana. It sits next to Holy Cross church, behind this church is a absolutely beautiful garden with crosses set up. The area is so peaceful and really very beautiful.

Tom K — Google review
The American Cemetery is a major Historic spot in the town of Natchitoches. It is believed to be the actual location of the original Fort St. Jean Baptiste. It is more than a cemetery. It is an historic archaeological site in it's own right. Many of the oldest graves are naturally succumbing to age and erosion. Some gravesites have already been lost to time if they were ever properly marked at all. It may be the oldest permanently occupied piece of ground in Natchitoches. That would make it the supreme "oldest of the old" ground in the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase.

Overall definitely worth the money it was a very nice and scenic boat tour the captain made it feel entertaining and not one of those same script on repeat type things. He did a really good job explaining all the fun historical facts of the city. They have a restroom on board and were serving hot cocoa and coffee. Definitely a fun experience in town and a great way to see the lights! PS you can bring your own drinks as long as it’s in an appropriate container.

My husband and I enjoyed the trip. We were hoping there would be more history information provided, but there were lots of nice houses, the river was beautiful, and the captain played good music. Be aware this isn't a fast boat ride because the entire trip is in a no-wake zone. The boat is in plain view downtown, and parking was readily available. The boat ride does last almost an hour. We got to see a wedding, lots of fancy vehicles from people attending the wedding, and several ladies taking senior and prom pictures on the banks, so there was a lot to see and admire.

I’ll definitely be booking again, and I highly recommend you do the same. 10/10 stars!

Had a massage. At first it was ok but then I started noticing it was a lot of stopping. I looked up and she was on her phone. There was also a lot of noise over the course of about 10 to 15 minutes. Loud talking as people were walking past the door, slamming doors. Would never go back.

I cannot express how much I appreciate Amber's massage techniques. She knows exactly how to work out the knots in my neck and shoulders to bring long lasting relief from neck pain. Every massage has been well worth every penny. I also appreciate the rest of the staff as they are very friendly and hospitable. This is a really great business.

I am never disappointed when I visit the spa. From the time you walk in the door, relaxation is their priority. Take a look around at the clothes, shoes and accessories while you wait or enjoy the relaxation room. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to my massage therapist, Christa, I feel like a new woman. Great way to start off New Years Eve.

Had a gift card and was told I could not make an appointment to use the gift card unless I give my credit card number.

It was OK, not impressed. I gave 3 stars because it's a local business (I'd give 1.5 for my experience). Made appointment for 90 minutes, was given 60 by mistake & no extension available. Therapist was new, so I thought I'd give it another chance. Called & left a message, texted on Facebook (I can see that it was read) and filled out the form on their website. That was a few months of trying. No response, no call back. So sad that this is the only place in town to get a massage 🥲

Not a museum anymore. They do genealogy research but some fascinating ladies with great information on the area

Came to see the Christmas event but this museum was closed. You would think that during a big event they would keep the building open later so you could seed them all.

I have a facial at least once a month, my skin feels and looks great. I also tried the float and had a relaxing experience. Natchitoches is lucky to have these top notch spa services.
