Top 39 things to do and attractions in West Monroe

The garden was nice, but this families history is what you need to catch. Biedenharn started the Coca-cola bottling. A son invested in Delta crop spraying - soon to become Delta Airlines. Very interesting and a charming staff. Oh, don’t miss the Bible museum!

Fascinating Coca-Cola museum, absolutely beautiful garden, but I loved most of all touring the Biedenharn home! Our tour guide, Lily, brought the history in each room to life! We’ll definitely visit again!

We bought tickets to tour the house when we purchased tickets to see the Coke museum next door. It is a curiously designed building which, if I remember correct, was told cost $6,000 when it was built in 1913. (one guide said 1916 so not sure which date was correct.) It was the property of the childless Emma Louise who toured Europe as a singer until WWII and returned home and never moving again. After her father died she bought out her brothers and began redecorating to her varied tastes: ending with a Oriental ensemble. The extensive gardens were her idea as her father loved his vegetable garden, chickens and pigs. (There was at least one pig that would get a Coke every day.) She tore all that up and installed a replica of the European gardens she saw in her years in Europe. No pigs, and no chickens, but lots of tropical and semi-tropical plants. She had permission from her father to go down to New Orleans and purchase a statue for the garden and returned home with five. Fascinating history about the family that put a bottle of Coke into millions of hands over the past hundred and more years.

We went here recently for the scarecrow competition followed by the outdoor movie, The Wizard of Oz. We were thoroughly impressed with the beauty of the garden and the overall facilities. The staff was very friendly and were very patient with of all the kids. Worth a visit is you have downtime in Monroe.

This was an unexpectedly great spot to visit in Monroe! The Coca Cola museum was neat and included a nice cold coke to walk around the gardens with. The house itself was beautiful and Bible museum very interesting as well. The staff/guides were very friendly and engaging and explained everything thoroughly. Definitely worth the stop!

Monroe, Louisiana, has a great historic museum concerning the family and business of Coca-Cola in Louisiana. In addition to the family story leading up to the invention of bottling their beverage, additional nearby locations provide insights to eminent family members and their lifestyles. For a nice overview of the creation of the beverage itself, and the development of the bottling process and product placement and distribution, this museum is truly a diamond. Helpful and informative staff describe and provide tour information including a separate mansion having extensive grounds, and an adjacent Bible Museum having an extensive collection. And where else can you get a nice cold Coca-Cola for 5 cents?

Nice place to visit in Monroe. The Coca Cola exhibit is fairly small. You can probably see everything in 10 minutes. The Bible museum can be seen in about 15 minutes. The gardens about 10-15 minutes. The house can take longer based on the tour. It's a neat house, although the renovations from the 70's tended to be a bit gaudy. Friendly staff. Overall plan on an hour to visit.

We visited antique alley Thursday November 14th. The old town area has alot of old antique buildings. But if you’re looking for antiques we only found 3-4 that actually had antique furniture and some old items. That’s why I only rated it a 3 star. With a name like antique alley, I thought all the stores would have antiques. It’s a quant little area in town. Could be a lot of fun shopping if you’re not just looking for antiques.

Love Trenton St! Memory Lane Antiques on Antique Ally has the best! Mr. Ed and Mrs. Virginia are the nicest ever!

Stopped by a couple of stores but there is a antique store that sells coins I could have spent all day there looking it was great. They had everything you could ever ask for and then some

This was okay. I thrift every single weekend so I decided to give this a go. It was a long drive for me because I live in Bossier. About half of the “Antique Alleyway” is boutiques, or shops selling what are clearly dropshipped items from Amazon or Temu (mixed in with genuine antiques). There were 3 or 4 really good stores that sold only vintage items. However, they were extremely expensive. There was one store I absolutely adored with an older gentleman working the front. He’s bald with a silver beard. I thought he was very fair on his prices. I bought some beanie babies from him today. He had a wide selection of cool items. I wish I could remember the name of his store. It was densely packed with all sorts of glassware, jewelry, old toys, and vintage tchotchkes. All in all, I wouldn’t say it was worth the travel time and gas. I don’t think I’ll be back. It was a lovely drive though!

The light were fun. They could use some updates or maybe set them up a little different. Dismemberment is looking great. Wish the stores stepped up the displays a bit.

Very " vintage". Nice hustle n flow. Very old yet happy

Wish there were more antique stores and flea market stores. The name implies that there would be, but it's more specialty and boutique shops.

I personally couldn’t give 5 stars because of the lack of toppings on my pizza, as I usually only eat meat and like to splurge and have pizza from time to time, so this is just a personal preference. Fun atmosphere, my friends salad which I did take a pic of and taste the fresh mozzarella cheese, it’s was yummy! The whole esthetic is fun and we enjoyed sitting outside on the patio afterwards! Weather was pretty cool, plenty of fans, and clean bathroom! You do order at the counter then sit, fyi!

Friendly and welcoming staff. Beer was a fantastic variety. The Chennault was absolutely delicious!

This place has no business being this good. The beers... I hate to admit it but every city I go to I try to find the best IPA the area offers. They may not want to call their beers IPAs for fear of scaring people off but they are phenomenal. The service is impeccable (EXTREMELY friendly people) and the atmosphere is nice (stereotypical brewery with a dash of local WWII history) despite it's location in the concrete jungle area of Monroe. The pizza is great. Get a side of ranch. Take a four pack to go. You can't ask for anything nicer. And it's in Monroe! Yes, right here! It's world class.

Monroe has needed a place like this. It's fun to use as a party spot for a group. There is a great outdoor area with games (giant blocks and corn hole and some ring game) as well as tables and a large TV under the covered area. There are several tables under this covered area outside. There are dart boards and pinball machines inside as well as comfortable sitting areas with large chairs and sofas. The beer is great. I think their small batch beers that are only available at this site are their best work. They have everything from lighter Blonde, to Double IPA, to Milk Stouts to Saison. There is something for every beer lover. They will even let you bring your own food for a large party for only a small clean up fee. You need to book this early though, as their calendar is BUSY with events. A great group of guys own this place. It's always a good time. Update: Specialty pizza did not disappoint.

They may have started as just a brewery, but they have certainly figured out the pizza. They may have the best brick oven style pizza of anywhere within 100 miles. Their amber is good too. It’s become an almost weekly treat for us.

Stellar brews and food. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Truly miss your stuff being distributed to south Louisiana. May have to make this a periodic pilgrimage!

The food is amazing!! Crispy, wood fired, flavorful pizza was everything I wanted it to be. Our order came out super fast right out of the oven too. We got The Claire and the kale salad. My husband and I don’t drink so I didn’t really know what to expect but I was so impressed. We went for date night and loved the cozy vibes outside with lights, picnic tables, and heaters. We got salad, pizza, cokes, and brought a board game to play. The staff was so friendly too! Loved it and we will be back to try out all the different pizzas!

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The room was quite nice, the owner was very friendly, and the location is really nice. We were able to walk to a nearby establishment for dinner and then hang out on the balcony enjoying the sunset over this adorable little town. I’d highly recommend staying here!

This weekend was a Gold Star event in Baton Rouge and my family came in on Friday and stayed all weekend here . Its. A beautiful Inn with adorable rooms with great Atmosphere. The large room , with great Amenities from the large kitchen and bathrooms . Great stay and will be telling everyone .

Our first time in this part of the country, and this was the perfect place to stay. Beautifully and lovingly restored inn, welcoming and gracious hosts, delicious breakfasts, and the absolute most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The roof deck is so nice. Thank you to our hosts!

This is absolutely a wonderful little hidden gem of a location! The prices are better than the local hotels, with superior amenities and a fresh cooked breakfast. Restaurants are in walking distance too. I've definitely found my regular haunt for Monroe!

The local Chamber has been hosting a series of Marketing events here . Such a great location for small groups . Great kitchen and serving area . Plenty of seating . Super clean and showcases our downtown vitality .

Had a amazing experience at this great B & B! Amazing Host! Beautiful and Clean rooms! Clawfoot Tub! 10/10! The Breakfast was amazing! We will be back!

My family booked all the rooms for my niece's wedding and were blown away with how beautiful it was. Each room is decorated beautifully and the common areas as well. The patio and large porch are perfect for hanging out. Sean cooked a great breakfast each day and was an amazing host. The location was perfect as you are right on the main street for shopping, eating, and drinking. Thank You for an amazing stay and there were a few of us that wanted to take the beautiful decor home with us! I will definitely rebook a stay here!!! Just gorgeous!!!

Really a 10 out of 5 stars!! Stopped by on a whim headed to Trapp's and was pleasantly surprised! The owner and his wife were so nice and very informed. We did the free tasting and ended up purchasing 2 of the bottles! We will most definitely be back for a tour when we are able! Congrats to y'all, y'all are doing a great job!

We travel I-20 from GA to TX at least once a year and Trapp’s is our regular dinner stop. just discovered Two Warriors - friendly folks and we really enjoyed the bottle of Dust Off we bought. Couldn’t stay for a full tasting but appreciated their eagerness to help us choose the right bottle for our tastes. Hoping we might have time to stay longer next trip.

Ordered 2 bottles online and was not disappointed at all. The order was packed and shipped shortly after I ordered. The packaging itself for the 2 bottles was superb. Fantastic meads, 10/10 would recommend!

Wonderful experience. So friendly and welcoming. Got to try 6 different flavors. I HATE honey, but walked out with a bottle of Mayhaw Madness. It is delicious!! 10/10 recommend.

Amazing mead! The owner is very personable and takes his time explaining all the flavors! Will defiantly come back!

Never knew this place existed. Tasted several flavors & enjoyed an informative tour. Great addition to Monroe culture.

Local meadery using local grown ingredients. Very good tasting meads. There is a sampling available.

Definitely a nice place for a date or special occasion and not so much for solo dining. I looked up their menu online before coming and was really looking forward to a dish that apparently they no longer serve. Instead I decided to go with 3 appetizers to get a good sampling. I enjoy sweet potatoes and especially sweet potato pancakes so when I saw sweet potato bread I had to have it! Unfortunately this was the worst thing I ordered, there is no sweet potato in it apparently "milk" from it only and the salt on top was too much, sugar would have probably been nice, oh well. Brussel Sprouts were good and the mint was a very nice touch. Lastly the gnocchi was solid. I would probably return for a special occasion but not solo. Enjoy.

Visiting from out of town and already been to Parish twice in a week. Love the freshness of ingredients and how often the menu changes. The kale + collard caesar salad is one I will dream of and look forward to coming back for whenever I'm in northern LA. The miso deviled eggs were delicious although a bit salty. The Alaskan halibut with whipped celery root was DIVINE. The spice crusted seared tuna dish was an interesting dish - great fish quality. Unfortunately, the tiramisu donut concoction that was recommended by chef was far from my favorite and a disappointing end note to an otherwise amazing meal. The donut is extremely bready - not fresh fried - and the espresso + coffee ice cream was lacking flavor. Calling this dish "tiramisu" is misleading as it doesn't really taste tiramisu forward. I love ingenuity in food, but at the end of the day, it's gotta taste good and be craveable, which it's not. And i shared the dish with my neighbor at the bar who also didnt love it. Sometimes these things are a miss, and that's okay too! Wondering if I can fit in one more night before I leave just to get dessert redemption 🤔😅

We stopped here for our anniversary dinner on our way to Florida. It was amazing! Delicious food, great service, and a great atmosphere! Will definitely be making a trip again! If you are driving through or staying in the area, you should definitely check it out!

Food was amazing! I had the night special soft shell crab I believe it was called and my husband had the steak with truffle fries. Everything tasted amazing

Had a great dining experience at The Parrish. To start the service was excellent, Dillion was outstanding, very knowledgeable about the drinks and menu and made some great suggestions. Bartenders made excellent DIRTY Martinis. We started off with Hearth Baked Sweet Potato Bread & Duck Wraps in a syrup glaze both were delicious. Wine selection was plentiful and wide variety. Main course for us ranged from Pan Roasted Tasmania Salmon with sweet pea risotto. Which my Dad said was excellent. my Mother had the Louisiana Shrimp & Smoked Tasso Scampi. The pasta was homemade and delightful. We shared the Berkshire Pork Shank and gravy. It was more than enough for two people. We finished the night off with Bread Pudding with a bread pudding connoisseur at the table, said it was the best she ever had. The only negative thing I can say is it was a little noise but might have just been our location and how busy they were. Which is great to see on a Tuesday night. Thank you for a great dining experience we will be back when back in Monroe.

Food was delicious, per usual. The duck wraps are phenomenal and the whipped burrata was unreal. Never had any complaints with anything on their menu so this being less than a 5 star review is a bit hard to write. Would give 5 stars but I deducted because I am a little disappointed we couldn't use the gift cards we had. Our best friends gifted them to us two Christmases ago but there's somehow no record they were purchased and they had no verifiable balance, so we had to pay out of pocket - which wasn't expected for my husband's birthday dinner. The manager did state they had issues with their gift cards "a couple years back" but I don't feel that much investigating was done past the initial "there's no record of this" so it was a bit disappointing. Rule of thumb: don't let gift cards go past a year. Couple months to be safe. Otherwise great food.

Food and atmosphere were amazing! Though I took some leftovers to-go and found a small hair in the butter, nasty. Other than that, would recommend. Response: The butter that I took home was packaged in a separate container and it was new so we had not interacted with that before opening it to eat it the next day.

Love the Masur Museum, I used to volunteer here years ago! Unfortunately, I am now disabled and can't walk up stairs, and when I brought a friend here last weekend to see the Blue Dog exhibit, I was confined to the bottom level because I couldn't go up the stairs. Not going to lie, I was bummed. I know this is a historic building, but us disabled folks would like to see more than the bottom floor.

Small, but great art selections. "Blue Dog" exhibit was worth the visit.

Overall, we were disappointed. The house was fascinating, but the museum was underwhelming. We had read that this was a large museum featuring regional artists and several lithographs and etchings by Renoir, Dali, and Chagall. On our visit, the entire building consisted of the art of one (local?) artist. The other building was apparently empty. In addition, the staff were just not very engaging people. I would have expected to be greeted and given a brief rundown of where the exhibit rooms are. Overall, they need variety in the collections and a class in Customer Service 101.

Very nice local art museum. They have new exhibits come in regularly. Admission is free. Very relaxing place to visit. Usually isn't crowded. Great place for all ages to visit.

Intriguing building. We enjoyed a walk around the outside grounds. I was disappointed to learn that this place is temporarily closed. There are signs posted on the door that they are preparing for a new exhibit and will be closed from May 14th - 29th, 2019. It is an easy to get to and quick find off the highway.

This exhibit is worth exploring more than once. I especially liked the sculptural, textile, and woven pieces. Such a variety of experimental thought provoking work.

I love going to the Masur Museum. It is a great free, local place to take out of town friends. The art rotates enough that even local folks can enjoy the museum over and over. They do amazing outreach in the community.

It was wonderful! Tours start every 30 minutes. You can browse the souvenir area while waiting for the tour to start. It begins with a 15 minute video about how Duck Commander began and introduces the main family members. Then you walk through areas at your own pace to look at photos, read plaques explaining things, etc. There is a lot to look at. You can browse through quickly and slow down and really take in all of the history. Oh yeah, you get a duck call to put together in the duck call room.

It was nice to get up there finally. I was disappointed they charged for tours of the warehouse. After riding up from the very bottom of the state the $20 warehouse tour was kind of a slap. So we rode all that way just to take a few pics

The museum was a lot of fun! They play a video before you enter the museum and that was the most interesting part to me. I learned more about how they got started and it was interesting to see everyone younger and their personalities being true then. Everyone gets to make a duck call. The museum is a lot more about their lives and story than the show. A very cool place!

What an amazing place to visit with the family. Cute little novelty shop, tour of the rise of Duck Commander and memorabilia from The Blind. We were even fortunate enough to meet Martin.

The Duck Commander was amazing. We particularly enjoyed the museum and it was well worth the money as each of us got to make a duck call. It was a very special day bc they filmed an episode of Duck Dynasty: The Revival Season 1 the same day we visited.

It’s part museum, part store. When you take the tour, you get the chance to build your own duck call, which was a fun experience—I really enjoyed it, especially since I’ve watched the show. As with most museums, it’s more about reading and looking at displays, so my kids weren’t as excited, but they did love making and using the duck call!

WHERE DO I EVEN START???? This place is beyond amazing, well planned and well thought out! I am an avid Duck Dynasty watcher. Dare I say I’m borderline obsessed. Each time I rewatch an episode I find new jokes,and new scenes I somehow missed. I did get a little emotional thinking of Phils recent passing and going through the exhibits of him and Ms Kay. Their story is one that has parallels to my own life and relationships. Just knowing how open and loving this family is just made it all that much more special. In today’s world there is so much focus on wealth, wealth, and looking good for your followers. The Robertson family, in my eyes, were always so humble and relatable and just RAW AND REAL! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I’m firing up the ol Hulu to watch a few episodes tonight!

Rustic Park that serves all ages with lots of structures, fun bridges and it's on the water. Trails being updated and we're badly needed. Bikes, walkers, music venues and lots of kid friendly play areas. One of very few parks nearby

One of the loveliest parks I’ve ever visited! From the moment we arrived, everything felt intentional and welcoming. The grounds were immaculate—fresh-cut grass, clean and open spaces, and plenty of recently refreshed areas that felt alive and well-loved. There are so many bright, safe, and cheerful playgrounds for kids, and the walking trails are beautifully varied—different terrains, scenic views, and clearly marked with numbers and emergency markers. Whether you're walking, biking, or just strolling with your dog, there’s something for everyone (including intense biking trails if you're more daring than me!). The dog park was adorable and thoughtfully maintained with plenty of cleaning stations and bags. And speaking of the vibe? So friendly. People actually greet each other on the trails! It gave a real sense of community. We were blown away by the little free libraries scattered throughout the park—such a beautiful reflection of shared values and care. There’s also a monarch butterfly habitat, a peaceful garden area, gorgeous tennis courts, sand volleyball, and community stages and event spaces. Multiple gazebos added to the charm and gave us the perfect shady spots to rest and take it all in. It only cost $1 to get in, but by the time we left, we truly felt like we should’ve paid more. A hidden gem that’s clearly maintained with love.

A beautiful and well-maintained park that has something for everyone! And the cost is extremely public friendly. $1.00 per person! Wonderful! Today's visit was an impromptu lunch with a friend. Picked up pulled-pork plates with roasted vegetables and a rainbow salad from For His Temple and headed for the park! An enjoyable conversation over a healthy and tasty meal in a safe and aesthetically pleasing setting. You can't beat that! A gift from God!

We had our Great Granddaughters birthday party there. It's a really nice park. Lots of playgrounds and tennis courts and volleyball courts. Picnic tables, and event shelters. It even has a lake. I took lots of family pics of family members not many of just the park if you look hard in the background you can see one of the larger playgrounds.It was pretty crowded the day we were there. ( Please cover my family I don't know how to do that.)

Kiroli Park is our favorite spot for walks! The trails are beautiful and well-maintained, and my dog absolutely loves exploring all the smells and sights. It’s such a peaceful, welcoming place—perfect for clearing your head and enjoying some quality time with your pup. Highly recommend!

Very spacious, cool that they have pools for the puppies to cool down. great trails or if the fenced area. If you have kids playground and a lists of space to chill.

Far beyond our expectations of a park. The $1 fee per person was perfect. Only buy one duck food, they are overfed and don't care.

Fun easy walk around a bit of history. Trails were kept the best they could be. There was several different wildlife on the trail. Great little walk and area. Would recommend for sure

Nice park, interesting history. It's impressive what the city of West Monroe has done to create this. Good place for a walk, too.

Loved the trails, the boardwalk and lake were beautiful!

Park was nice. We got to check out some deer eating Lilly pads. Saw lots of birds. We had a great day.

I walk here quite often. It is peaceful and has well maintained walking trails. The deer and turtles are always nice to look at too! Stroller friendly and dog friendly!

Great place to walk w/ my dogs. The driving distance is excellent when you think of a nature trail. The trails have markers so you're able to GPS your location if need be. It's always nice to see other people walking their dogs that have a mutual respect of other a animals. Great place!

Cool nature spot in West Monroe LA! It’s not very big, but it packs a punch! So much to see in a small area! Huge variation of plant life and wild life in the city. Check out the deer in our pictures!

A place for art lover they have downtown gallery crawl every quater

. absolutely gorgeous art. Creative in how it is designed, plus some cute shops to stop in and enjoy great atmosphere.

Interesting items to review in a place where you can learn about art if you don't know anything about art.

A nice but a congested place for holding art exhibitions. Ok. It's good.

Beautiful scenery

No rooms really came out for a different location to fish and rake in a fresh supper. On contrary of things been negative for the fishing trip. No fish in the lakes off banks, BUT TRUSTING in MY own experience, it's a great place to spend time with family and friends and places to BBQ and camping areas all around the lake area! GREAT time though!

This place will soon be updated . Handicap acceptable soon to come . But stay alert . In the video, you will see why. There are also alligators. Big ones . Watch your children while next to the water.

Local fishing spot on an Eerie, calm lake. Pavilions for gathering

Volleyball court, swings, covered pavilion with picnic tables & many trees children can easily climb with a ranger station across the street. There is a bathroom on site but I don't want to talk about that or about the many families of spiders you have to ask permission to use - Overall relaxing experience...until I had to pee. My advice? Save yourself and squat behind a tree lol

Enjoy the beauty of Cheniere Lake! Count the corks in the trees!

Gorgeous. Plenty AC, and the grounds-keepers were very kind and accommodating. Excellent venue to host our family picnic.

I always enjoy a kayaking trip out here. In the fall it can be kind of dreary once the leaves fall.

It was amazing!!! The food was FANTASTIC!!! I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese, and it was perfectly seasoned and tasted amazing! I also got the Red Velvet Mocha Latte (iced) and it was a great blend of sweetness, milk, and espresso! I would definitely recommend coming to Standard!

The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful even in takeout boxes. Probably one of the best meals that I've had in Monroe.

It came up in my search for specialty coffee and I lucked out, as it is the real deal for coffee aficionados like me. I deviated from my standard black and enjoyed their raspberry swirl with an avocado toast. Recommended.

Nice coffee shop and cafe. Very much feels like a downtown type of place versus just a friendly local out of the way sort of place. Their breakfast food options were very limited (love a good bagel but they mainly had pastries and muffins) but seems they open their kitchen for lunch and offer more food options then. 4 starts in lieu of 5 isn't about the location or price....it's more just that their lattes did not taste very good. Seems they do a lot of things well but a good hot latte is not one of them. They are seemingly frequented by what seems like folks from their downtown and maybe they just accept this as good coffee. I would probably recommend other local options if ambiance is not 90%+ of what you're looking for.

The Salmon bowel was so delicious, I would have it twice in one day it’s that good! I wish they had a bigger tea selection. But, overall our order came out in a timely manner and everything else was great!

White Lightning made with almond milk and a cheddar bacon scone were excellent! Easy parking, lots of seating, serve yourself water station - all great!

Classic independent coffee shop. The warm smell of fresh brewed coffee wafts over you as you walk in the door. Has classic mellow coffee shop music! Iconic artwork on the walls. This is the kind of place where you get there early, grab a cup of brew, and cozy into a book for a few hours. By the way the coffee was great! They have a talented crew behind the counter. A small assortment of snacks is available. If I lived in the area this would be my regular haunt. I'd be the weird old guy in the corner, but still it's a great place. It's easy to find, and parking is available adjacent to the building and on the street. There are a couple of tables and chairs out front if you want to brave the heat. But it was kind of pleasant early in the morning. I had a regular cup of coffee it has a strong dark flavor. Very nice! Great local coffee shop. Wish I was hanging out longer!

We had a good time with my daughters and grandson. The grounds were clean and it wasn’t crowded. My grandson loved the playground. And I can’t wait to bring him back this summer when the splash pad is open. I gave it a 4/5 since some of the exhibits were empty, but overall I would definitely come back. Ages of children brought: 2, 12 and 14

This wasn’t our first visit, but the zoo has upgraded. We loved the splash pad. The kiddos were excited to see the animals and so many birds.

I love taking my kids to the zoo! It is one of our favorite things as a whole. It always seems very clean, and quiet for the most part. The gift shop is amazing! My kids want something every time of course. The little cafe provides just big enough portions for us while we are there. All the staff so far are accommodating and well informed. We will continue to visit this zoo often. It is a cheaper way to get the family together outside and you may even learn a thing or two!

I've been to the LPGZ several times, and the kids enjoy it. They have a splash pad at the end of the exhibits to cool off during the spring/summer. I enjoy the boat tour they offer personally and also the train ride. The only reason I didnt give it 5 star is some exhibits could be cleaner, they have abandoned exhibits you have to walk thru and honestly they are dirty in some cases very dirty, however they have new construction going on and seem to be upgrading the zoo constantly. We will definitely be back and enjoy the zoo

Quick stop while traveling through. somewhat low budget zoo. A lot of weeds and tall grass. Several exhibits looked rundown. Staff was friendly..

This GEM, smaller zoo, is nestled somewhat in a residential area. I was wonderfully surprised once I entered. The zoo safari boat ride is a MUST do!!! It was a 20-minute guided tour. The young man driving the boat was very knowledgeable about the animals we saw. He answered all questions that were asked. Walking around looking at the animals in their habitats was typical. There is a larger splash area for children to get wet. I was DISAPPOINTED that the train wasn't running due to maintenance. I was looking forward to the ride. Even though I drove 2 hours for the visit, I would definitely visit again. However, I will call 1st to make sure the train is scheduled to run 😁.

The grounds of the zoo are beautiful. Large established trees and beautiful flowers. There were some areas that looked dated, and some of the animal cages were too small or deteriorating. We enjoyed the animals we were able to see, and it seems that improvements are on the horizon as they had many areas roped off and under construction. Excited to come back and see what it will look like after the renovations.

I have eaten here several times, my meal this time got my attention. I was there for my grandson’s birthday. I ordered the buttered chicken with green beans and broccoli. I must say it was delicious. Even the crawfish etouffee was good? When I come back, I will get it again!

Walk-On’s in West Monroe was a perfect place to stop midway on my drive from Texas to Mississippi and back, so I stopped there twice in my five day trip! On the way out and on the way back. Great atmosphere and the food was really good. I had the wings, the turkey melt and the Hickory burger with onion rings on it. There’s tons of TVs and they’ll put any game on there you want. Kelsie was my server and she was about the best you could ever hope for. Very friendly and helpful! Thank you folks, hope to go again sometime!

Ahi Tuna Salad and Voodoo Shrimp and grits was top tier! Bartenders Presley and Abigail were amazing, we never had an empty beer and were greeted immediately! Outstanding service!!

Of all the years I’ve been coming to Walk-ons Caroline is the best bartender and hostess there is. If I had my own restaurant, she would be the first one I hired. Me and the guys together here all of the time, and we have never had a issue of any kind with service, meals or wait time.

3 stars on service because the waitress added her tip on my credit card herself. I tip in cash and usely more than 20%, but if you tip yourself on my credit card then you lose.

Kelsie was and is one of the best servers i have ever experienced, We were glad to have had her as our server and very impressed with her character and level of performance! I will be returning whenever I’m in the area. The food was great, The Louisiana is a must have! If you are ever in the area, I must see spot hands-down. Thank you Kelsie.

Our server Tatum was amazing! She has such a fun, bubbly personality and made the whole experience enjoyable. she was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. one of the best experiences we’ve had at Walk-Ons!

We had a blast! Came over here after a wedding and really enjoyed ourselves. The bartender was fun, the dive bar atmosphere hit just right, and the drinks flowed quickly. The food was great while drinking, but I would pick somewhere else if I was only looking to eat.

Been there a few times. Service is awesome. Great live music. The last time there my chicken strips were over cooked. Hard to chew. Fries were great as always. I have gotten the strips before and they were perfect.

The waitress was nice and the food came fast. The burgers where highly recommended to me but where very basic and lacked flavor. The amosphere was great and the prices where also reasonable. 7/10..

I’ve been coming to Enoch’s Irish Pub for years…great food, fun live bands on weekends, and you can’t beat the Guinness gravy. This visit I had the Elvis Burger (peanut butter, banana, and bacon)—sounds crazy, tastes good. My personal favorite is still the Jammy with pepper jelly.

Went in for lunch with a bunch of friends. They didn't even bat an eye at the separate checks of our many people. I wish I knew our server's name, but he was AMAZING. Hilarious and attentive. Burgers were great and many to choose from. I wouldn't get the side salad again BUT would get onion rings. Just do that, don't question it. Such a fun place.

It was our first time here as new residents and we were not disappointed. Bartenders are very attentive (even when they are slammed). Everyone that walks in the door is friendly. Environment is chill. We so happened to come on a night of a comedy event and we were treated “VIP” style. This will definitely be our to go bar!

Amazing Pub and Cafe! Upon the most recent opening of the Cafe I've realized I had yet to leave a review! They have an absolutely amazing staff, atmosphere and food with still relatively low pricing! They are big supporters in local events and I appreciate all they do for the community. It's ran by absolutely amazing people and I have no doubt in my mind, whatever your reasoning for stopping in, that you will enjoy your cup of coffee, amazing lunch or your night out with this crowd!

🌟 **A Fantastic Experience at Northeast Children's Museum!** 🌟 I had such a great time at Northeast Children's Museum! The exhibits are interactive, educational, and designed to spark creativity in kids of all ages. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Whether you're exploring science, art, or history, there’s something exciting around every corner! If you're looking for a fun and enriching place for children, I highly recommend checking.

This place is a gem and the staff is amazing. My son was having a very hard time while we were visiting and they were so incredibly kind and helpful, above and beyond. I will not forget it! Thanks for making our visit to Monroe a brighter one!

So glad I found this place to bring my grand baby! So much for kids to do and see. Alot of science and hands on experiences. Puppet show availability, EMS learning, mini fire department. I would recommend this place to anyone with small kids. We were primarily in the "baby" section. It was very clean and orderly. All of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful!

My kiddos had a blast! We were there 2 hours before I said it’s time to go and they begged me not to leave. They could stay entertained all day!

My autistic 9 year old son loved it so much! Mostly curated for younger kids but still pretty fun and educational

My kids love this place! I love that there’s so much for kids to do, and somethings for adults to do with kids. Saturdays are a little crazy. A lot of people come that day. Sometimes I’ve come in and had to wait for the receptionist because they weren’t present.

Wonderful as always!! They had a very fun and safe Easter event where my son was able to meet and take pictures with the bunny and Mother Goose!! Will always love and will totally return!

Absolutely love this place. The aromas alone from the shop are just incredible. Everyone is always so knowledgeable and friendly. The teas are absolutely amazing. Great place!

Excellent collection of teas and spices. You will be amazed to see the variety and flavours. As a tea lover , This is my go to place to get some spice tea. I would highly recommend anyone who likes tea and spices.

The Spice & Tea Exchange is an absolute gem for the small town of West Monroe! It is surrounded by the cutest quaint shops. When walking in, you will be greeted with a wonderful aroma as well as some of the kindest people. They have a wide variety of spices, teas, oils, honeys and accessories. I am an avid matcha drinker, so I was so happy they had a little section for that. One of the employees even helped me choose the right one for myself. While we are only visiting family and just happened to stumble upon this shop, we will definitely be making this one of the places we must stop by when coming in the future.

Did not get up and offer assistance and barely would answer questions. Store nice over all. Smelled amazing.

They had exactly what I was looking for and great prices will return. Gumbo file

The second you walk in, the smell of the shop is just lovely. Sherry (I hope I’m correct on the spelling) was so kind! She read me like a book and helped me find a bunch of goodies that I can’t wait to try! I’m excited to come back to try something from their in-shop tea bar! God bless 🫶🏻

Beautiful store with amazing spices, salts, teas, sugar and oils! The aroma was fabulous! The staff were very helpful and helped me pick out a perfect tea for a friend of mine. I stocked up on a couple of my favorite blends and I got a new salt to try - it has activated charcoal!

Lazarre Park is probably one of the most underrated parks in the area. Aside from the river access, it is one of the best places around for disc golf. The local Celtic Fest was held here this year. With 18 years running, this was one of the best turnouts for the festival yet. I do hope the city continues to sponsor larger events like this here again. Well done Parks Department! It's been a year since I posted this review. I just wanted to update with a couple of new photos. It's great to see attention being given to the park for events like the Celtic Fest and Woofstock.

It has an ok disc golf course but facilities and other things parks usually have are completely lacking.

The magnolia tree is trying to recover after a vicious attack by some idiot, WHY did it happen ❓

When I think about parks, I think of a playground for kids, restroom facilities, and parking spaces. There was very little parking which looked to be on one side of the park only. Also, there were no toys and I didn't see a restroom. If you are looking to go somewhere to be by yourself for a few, this may be the place for you.

City of West Monroe has abandoned this place.. Has a really good disc golf course here. Can't promise it'll be mowed if you come play. Good boat ramp

Went to Celtic Festival at Lazarre Park. Beautiful place! Plenty of parking. It's dog friendly has several picnic areas, plenty of restrooms.

Beautiful park. Places for picnics, fishing, boat ramp and disc golf.

Could be good. If only half the machines weren't broken. Some also take your money or points (card) without you then being able to play, like the bean bag toss.

Na'Jayden and Alyssa was amazing assisting kids in the soft play area. My son was struggling figuring out and both helped him feel comfortable. I appreciate their positive and up beat attitudes. They are amazing at this job!

This is my first time at Surge and it was a great experience. I brought my niece who was visiting and Angelo made our experience exceptional. He was with us for the rock climbing, ninja warrior, and the other playground. He was informative and polite. I felt safe letting my niece climb walls and run around. Because of Angelo, our experience went from average to fantastic. Thank you Angelo!

Our party host Ja’Kyra was really good and the manager Cara was really helpful. Definitely will be booking again for my other kids!! Great workers!

Natalie is such a kind patient person! I love her so much, she stayed with me for 30 minutes until I could zip line. She is so great and deserves a raise.

Went on a Tuesday night and the simulator is only $28 an hour. Best 2 hours of fun in a long time

Najayden showed great customer service skills and was very kind. Was the only worker to assist when I came Into the arcade.

We have an awesome tennis community! Patiently waiting on the new courts. Hoping for big things with our tennis community in months to come. New courts still not ready. Contractor delays AGAIN! Does not speak well for this contractor. Hopefully it will all end well. One day soon... New pickleball courts are being played on NOW!! New tennis courts still locked to public. I'm told they are waiting until they have hired more help to monitor the courts. What a shame the parks and rec department didn't anticipate this need and have that ready when the courts were finally turned over to the city a few weeks ago. Maybe Grind-to-a-hault-Stone will get the building finished one day. Maybe. No bleachers upstairs really limits how many can view the courts at one time. I guess it's still an improvement and I just need to be happy with that.... Now the fence is finished around the new courts. So they are just staying locked up for now. Hopefully they will hire help soon.

Big beautiful oak trees provide abundant shade. Variety of equipment for the kids. Several picnic tables. We went to an event and the bathroom ran out of toilet paper, but thankfully there was an attendant nearby.

It was quiet and nice. Great place for kids or to take a walk

Still a great place to spend time with family, just isn't the same as when I was a kid, here.

Great place to let kids run and play. They have swing sets, slides, walking and jogging paths, fenced in areas for ball games...can even sit and watch the squirrels run up and down the trees

Very clean, maintained tennis courts! Family Friendly! Bathrooms and clubhouse is also well kept and maintained! Excellent, all around family friendly park! Just a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon/evening with those who you hold close to your heart!

This is a great park and patriot one as well. My home base from trucking. Milo loves it too.

Had a blast the Indoor Fall Classic kart race. Lots of action on the track and a lot more in the pits trying to get the karts faster. Enjoyed the weekend.

Convenient location just off I20. Great set up with stalls attached to the arena. Hotel on tge grounds!

It was a nice looking place. The only complaint I have is that the footing in the arena had rocks in it. Which wasn’t good considering it was a cutting competition.

Last year, we were riding by the Ike Hamilton Expo Center and noticed they were having time trials, in the parking lot! It was very cool to watch and I got some photos! There is always something happening at THE IKE, whether it's inside or out! I have noticed they don't, really, advertise alot of the events! Many times you just have to go see what happening!

Fantastic environment for a cutting horse show. Love the air conditioning in this huge venue. Always enjoy showing here.

Cool place went for the fair. Had a great time

You never know what you are going to see here! It's never a dull moment there during an event!

Hands down, this is the best B and B I have ever stayed in. The rooms are large, stunning and well furnished. From the minUte you arrive, you are treated to Southern hospitality. I had to see my dad at St. Francis Hospital. It was a devastating and difficult experience. John made my stay peaceful and healing. He even took me to the hospital in the rain. It is completely walkable and the shops and neighborhood are amazing. The price is affordable and the stay is unfortunately!! Thanks John!

Exquisite. If I had to choose one word to describe our stay, it would be exquisite. From the start the warm and gracious welcome was helpful and delightful. Not to mention the great communication before we arrived, via text and email. The house stunning, the room enchanting, the bathroom grand. Just everything was absolute perfection.

This place is a must. john is wonderful, very accommodating and friendly. Stayed in the carriage which is off of the main house and is stunningly decorated and has everything you need. snacks, water and pops in the mini fridge and high end shampoo and condoner. A tray full of other bathroom things you may need and rode's in the closet. walking distance to shops and the antique district. I will not stay anywhere else from now on when coming to Monroe from now on.

John Thomas Bed and Bath offers a delightful experience that goes beyond just a place to stay. From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed with warm hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The charming decor and cozy atmosphere create a perfect retreat for relaxation. What truly stands out about John Thomas is the owner’s genuine friendliness and attentiveness. He goes out of his way to ensure that every guest feels special, often sharing stories and recommendations that make your stay even more enriching. It's not just about the accommodations; you leave with a sense of camaraderie and, often, a new friend. I stayed in the main house, John stocks the refrigerator in your room with water, soda and you have snacks and a microwave! Overall, if you’re looking for a welcoming and memorable getaway, John Thomas Bed and Bath is the perfect choice. You will undoubtedly leave with not only great memories but also a newfound friendship. Highly recommended! Thank you My friend! Thank you, John

This is my new favorite over night stay! Stayed in queen bedroom with my husband and enjoyed the cozy decorated space. The small touches of robes in room, traveling necessities, and garden patio space made this stay very memorable. Host was very friendly and helpful with recommendations of different places for local areas. Will definitely be returning.

When you look up Monroe online, or depending how you drive into Monroe you may have second thoughts about where and what you are doing there. You will greatly miss out on an amazing experience if you change your mind and don’t decide to take advantage of this place! John’s house is nestled on a corner close to a revitalized area that has shopping, amazing food, and is close to everything. John’s house is divine and takes you back in history mixed with some very eclectic designs but somehow it works. The bed and bath were wonderful and the area safe and secluded. We had an amazing time and John was a great host! He shared all the good restaurants, places to go and made us feel like family. We will definitely visit this treasure again and so should you!

If you need to cut a road trip in half, this place was amazing! John was very helpful and friendly. The grounds are very well kept and everything was clean. The amount of work John has put into this place really makes it fun to look around the room at all the art and decorations. If I'm ever driving through the area again, I will definitely stay here.

Layton Castle in Monroe, Louisiana, is one of those rare, serendipitous discoveries that can change your entire perspective on a place. Picture yourself with a fine glass of wine, reclining under the sprawling canopy of ancient trees, while the golden hour sun bathes the meticulously kept castle and gardens in a warm, nostalgic glow. It’s like being transported to an era when grandeur wasn’t just a concept but a way of life. Wondering how to immerse yourself in this slice of heaven? Layton Castle offers several paths: you can book one of their impeccably restored apartments on Airbnb, settle in for a long-term rental, or even host your wedding or special event here. Trust me, making the time to experience this gem is worth it. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Layton Castle will leave an indelible mark on your soul.

Excellent presentation by an actual descendant of original owners who was fascinating and engaging in her delivery! Wonderful references to local, Louisiana historical figures as well as a good representation of Southern living from a bygone era. Researched subjects included family relationships with former slaves who were well treated and respected; Carol Parson’s extraordinary friendships with sculptor Edmund Williamson, NY playwright Speed Lampkin and other notable artists; cultural events held traditionally at the castle like ballroom dancing & fundraisers for Grace Episcopal Church and a historically significant pigeon house and wine cellar where you can read about developments in bottle manufacturing. On-site cemetery and beautifully maintained grounds provide ample walking opportunities. Exquisite interior furnishings reflect superior craftsmanship (ornate Italian marble throughout with lovely chandeliers and inlaid furniture) and treasures from constant worldwide travel (china, artwork, books, silver and crystal, etc.) gently preserved for posterity. Delightful way to spend an afternoon and I highly recommend going. Such a treasure in Monroe!

Took an excellent tour of Layton's Castle today (2/25/23). They provide a rich history of the castle & Monroe area. The tour wasn't too crowded but was very interesting and informative. I definitely recommend if you live in the area and like history. It's also just a block away from the Masur Art Museum.

We had the absolute pleasure of living at a Layton castle apartment for several months while we renovated a home. I can’t fully describe how much we loved our stay!! The apartment was updated and SO comfortable that we truly hated to leave. The grounds are simply magnificent. We feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience living at Layton Castle! The added bonus of having Pam as our host was the cherry on top! She made the stay special. I could go on and on about the history and beauty, but you really need to experience it yourself to believe it!

The Layton Castle really shoud be your ONLY destination of places to stay in Monroe, Louisiana. I have stayed at many VRBO/Airbnb places and the Layton Castle out shines them all. Normally my stay is in a house but this time I took a chance to stay in one of the apartments at Layton Castle. Definitely was not disappointed. Above and beyond what I was expecting. The apartment was extremely well furnished. The grounds around Layton Castle are just magnificent. If anyone has to be in Monroe, Louisiana for business or pleasure Layton Castle must be your place to stay. I will be mine everytime I'm in that area of Louisiana.

I remember my dad worked on renovations here and one day after school he brought me with him. It was so nice inside and I wish one day I can go again.

Beautiful historic castle. The grounds are luscious and green even in winter! They have apartments and you can rent for parties!

This place is a gem! If you’re a soda lover like me, this is a must see if you’re in the area. Helpful and energetic staff add to the experience as well. A gift shop with lots of options for gifts and trinkets was the cap on a well spent afternoon! (By the way, there’s 5 cent GLASS BOTTLE!coke in an old-timey vending machine too…)

Came upon this place while traveling with my wife. I parked directly across the street. I walked across the street to the sidewalk and followed the sidewalk to a sign that pointed through an open gate that said welcome room. A sign next to the open gate displays the hours of operation. I followed the sign towards the welcome room and promptly was accounted by a woman wanting to know who I was and what was I doing there. Suffice it to say, the welcome room wasn’t at all welcoming. I ended my visit and will never come back. I don’t recommend it all with ‘hosts’ like this.

The Biedenharn Museum and Gardens is a home museum and botanical garden located beside the Ouachita River at 2006 Riverside Drive in Monroe in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, United States. It has three exhibits: the historic home and botanical gardens, Coca-Cola museum, and Bible museum.

Absolutely stunning Louisiana honestly have a lot of charm if you ever visit Monroe la please stop by and visit this place and make sure you tour the house the Bible museum as well as the beautiful laid out garden

Great place to know history of coca cola bottling.

Wonderful people! Great events! Christmas at the Biedenharn is a must!

Nice place to visit.

Love it here. One of my favorite places to go.

Very nice trails. More parking and a few more picnic tables would be nice.

Very nice

Significance: Construction of the G.B. Cooley residence commenced in 1926. The architect, William Burley Griffin, was an associate of Frank Lloyd Wright (1902-1906). Griffin initially designed the house in 1910, at which time the plans were exhibited at the Chicago Architectural Club. In 1912 Griffin won a competition to plan Canberra, the capital city of Australia, to which he soon removed. The Cooley House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 at a state level of significance; it is believed to be the only Prairie style house in Louisiana and Griffin's only such house in the south. Plans included landscaping, exterior garden walls, a pool and fountain, detached garage. Features include architect designed lamps, doors and windows. Walls are concrete, flooring cork. Other advanced features were a central vacuum system, central heating with steam and a tiled sauna/steam room. One hundred casement windows and an attic fan provided ventilation.

A fascinating structure.

It's closef

We spent a weekend in Monroe and had a great experience. There is more to do in the downtown area than we had originally anticipated. Highly recommend staying at the Hotel Monroe and eating at Restaurant Cotton. Walking around was easy. Good for a weekend for sure. Hope to go back for another leisure weekend.

Fun place to go during the downtown art crawl.

Wow! What a gem Landry’s Vineyard is! We rented a campsite overlooking the vineyard and the views were beautiful. The wines are absolutely fabulous - I’ve never enjoyed such a wide range of wines. The owners Jeff & Libby are so welcoming and knowledgeable. The tour is a must so Jeff can teach you a bit about winemaking and provide a sneak peek of their operations. Live music on Saturday night and pizza on the patio made for a fun evening. Wonderful people have built a beautiful business!

My husband Casey and I, stayed in cottage #3 for our first anniversary, the cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and more. The wine tasting, tour, music and beautiful scenery were so fun and relaxing. We want to Thank the Landry's for being such great host , we will definitely be back.

Relaxing Harvest Host stay. Quality all the way. Beautiful vineyard. Staff was excellent. Tried and purchased some wine. Hook ups were excellent. Very chill location. At times they have music, which would have been nice - but then less chill. Just a great spot!!

Came here through our harvest host app to spent a night with our motorhome. Parking and set up was a breeze. Wine-tasting was very enjoyable thanks to Jennalee. After enjoying another bottle of our choice we took our purchase and enjoyed the evening in our RV. Everything is super clean and very much organized. Definitive worth a recommendation!!!

Of my gazillion years living in North Louisiana, I never knew about this hidden gem. Fabulous place to toast with friends, a little dancing even a hay ride through the Vineyard. Family oriented. And the best thing of all, wines made on site. Please go out and support Landry's wine.

Landry’s Vineyards was an amazing experience. We were treated like family, we felt very welcomed and pampered. We rented one of the cottages on the property. The cottage was cozy and the scenery was beautiful. The tour was educational and very interesting. The music was fun, we met a lot of amazing people. We are already talking to family members about putting our crew together and making another trip here. Do yourself a favor, visit Landry Vineyards, you won’t regret it!

Absolutely fabulous cabin and activities at the vineyard. Libby is an amazing host, very thoughtfully! We had tons of activities at the vineyard between wine tastings, a 5k and concert.

Spent a good amount of time here. Ended up doing the family fun package that's $62 for 8 activity passes, 1 large pizza,4 large drinks and tokens for the arcade. With two adults and 1 8 year old that package is sufficient. Imagine chuckee cheese only better arcade, prizes and activities. I really wish they would have had swords or merchandise to buy. Bumper cars are only on the weekend which kinda sucks but we will definitely be back.

Excalibur deserves a negative star because of the disgusting behavior displayed during a child's party. The manager (which was a short guy with brown hair) was very rude and disgustingly disrespectful. The manager was being rude and nasty in front of the entire party and guests. We NEVER received assistance from our hostess which was apart of the package that we purchased. We constantly had to leave the party to ask for needed items that was supposed to be provided. It's NOT worth the headache. The staff members were unprofessional and no one would tell us their names and didn't have name tags in order to receive a compliment or complaint. Disgusting treatment and trash experience.

Fun family atmosphere. Something to do for everyone in the family.

So much fun my granddaughter had a birthday party there and we had so so much fun. The staff was so attentive and nice and kind

We just left the place was cool but the girl that worked the ticket exchange she needs a raise!!! She was so sweet and doing an amazing job! She made my special needs children so happy

Great fun place! We were In town for a baseball tournament and had two boys with birthdays. It was the perfect place for a fun time! All of the staff was wonderful, friendly and very helpful. Special shout out to Raylen and Braylen on the go carts and laser tag! These boys interacted with our boys constantly helping to make sure they had the best time! They definitely made our time at Excalibur that much more fun! GO OUTLAWS! 😀

This place is AMAZING! It has so much to do and so many fun activities for both kids and adults. The employees are all very helpful and nice. The food is great. And the prices are ok. A GREAT PLACE to take your kids!!

Great place but someone needs to change the hours for Sunday on the google business page. People waste time and money to come to a closed building.

Staff is very poor, we showed up very early to tryouts and there wasn't anybody in the facility. They would not let him warm up because they didn't want to chase the ball ! Why would they have to chase the ball that I'm there with my son warming up?? Poor excuse for your laziness...you should be upset with yourselves

Great clean facility. It has 6 basketball goals, inside track, and a weight room. They offer sports programs including soccer and basketball leagues for people of all ages.

Love to watch my sons coach and my grandsons and their teams play basketball and have fun. Great place for family and friends to get together and enjoy the kids.

Good spot to hoop

Voting facilities is so convenient and it is very clean. Great job to the volunteers that work there.

Stands are small and there's not much room around the court but it's kept up well and there's a nice scoreboard. Lots of parking available

Frank's creativity and artistic detail is absolutely remarkable. I have attended several mixers and open house events and was never disappointed. Very well organized with art display that captures the essence of style, history, visions from the past, and abstracts brought to life through his lens. You must experience this amazing gallery and artist to appreciate his work.

Mr Kelley at FKJ Art Gallery is one of the nicest people I’ve met. He welcomed my son and I into the studio and discussed his work with us including how he began creating artwork. His pieces are beautifully crafted. Looking forward to our next visit to his studio!

Frank's pieces have added warmth and character to my home. I bought prints of "Voice with Keys" and "Confessions of Jazz" and they are among my most prized possessions. I have also presented his work to family members as gifts. A piece from Frank Kelley Jr. is a worthy investment and a great addition to your home or office.

Frank has been a good friend of mine for many years. His artwork is very detailed and it makes you feel like you know the places and can identify with the people in the paintings. If you are looking for quality artwork locally or nationally, check out his gallery. You want be sorry. Andrea Dyer

Frank Kelley, Jr. is a gifted artist. His attention to details speaks highly of his love of art. Each piece is uniquely created and painted from the beginning to the end with the intent for perfection. If you have the pleasure of knowing Frank Kelley, Jr., you will know that he understands that his gift is from God, and he humbly uses it with that thought in mind.

Recently visited the gallery. The detail and craftsmanship of the work can't be measured in photos. These collectable pieces of fine art works great in all homes and venues.

Mr. Frank Kelly is a professional and talented Artist. He is invited all over the U.S. to display his work. His artwork is impressive. As one of his collectors, I highly recommend him.

Had an amazing time at an evening art class! It was the perfect date night
