Fun things to do in Vicksburg: 24 fun attractions and activities

Beautifully done and sobering. Must visit for anyone interested in history. Be sure to watch the video in Visitor's Center and the mini-ones in the display room. The USS Cairo museum is very well done as well and worth the stop. The NPS has an audio tour on their app. It is only ok, but better than nothing.

I absolutely recommend the visit here to anyone. The battlefield has some markers scattered through the battlefield, like many others I have visited. It is so different here from many other battlefields, because of the terrain. Many are flatter, but this battlefield is very hilly from the trenches. I wish that the visitor center was bigger, I feel that it is too small for a battle of this importance, many other battlefields have big visitor centers with museums. I also wish that the visitor center was open everyday, this is due to changes affecting all NPS Units, it is very sad to see. My last wish is that the battlefield should be cleared like it was during the battle. Many areas have markers, but you can't see the areas, because of all of the trees and vegetation. It wasn't like this during the battle. The USS Cairo museum was great, along with the national cemetery next to it. If your nearby and can take a day trip, I would absolutely recommend it.

Going to Vicksburg I didn’t know what to expect. I was met with friendly people as well as a wealth of knowledge and history. Unfortunately we weren’t able to stay and explore this park as much or as in depth as I would have liked but what we saw was great. We watched the video in the visitors center first then went on the drive. I appreciated that everything was color coded…made it easy to know what was what. The Illinois monument was incredible. I would definitely visit this again and spend more time here if we drive through this area again.

I visited on a 92 degree summer day. I was able to see most of the battlefield from the car but there are several critical areas from the battle and statues that you should get out and see. The movie at the visitors center gives you a good overview.

What an amazing experience this was. I was amazed at how much information was along the drive. Give yourself several hours. There is so much information and stops to make. I learned so much through the drive. Such a remarkable experiences

The Visitor Center is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so we did not see what they had to offer. We took the auto tour through the park. You travel through the Union lines and then through the Confederate section. There are hundreds of monuments and markers commemorating the fighting units that were involved. Also, markers describing battlefield movements throughout the siege. I would plan to visit the USS Cairo museum. This was a Union ironclad ship that was sunk and recovered. The restored ship is on display aling with many oeriod artifacts found on the site. There is also the National Cemetery in the valley below the museum. Hallowed ground and a must for history buffs.

This was so interesting, wish they kept up with the landscaping a little more as some of the plaques were off in the distance away from the road with knee high grass. Needless to say we didn’t venture out to read those with our little ones but, we still enjoyed our time here viewing the other historical places.

Beautiful and interesting murals. I like that they're right on the Mississippi River. Just wish that you didn't have to walk up and down a hill to get to them from the main street.

Absolutely beautiful murals and such detail in them too!! Definitely a nice place to walk around and enjoy history and fresh air. Right beside the Mississippi River as well!!

A great series of panels painted along the Mississippi River flood wall detailing life in and around Vicksburg over the years. It is a touristy area as well as local frolicking in the nearby water park and folks having picnics on the weekend while enjoying the nice weather.

This is a great little walk. We took the time to read all of the information with the murals, and the history included is varied and fascinating. One tip: We went in the morning, because we didn't want to go during the hottest part of the day. However, we realized from the sun position, that we probably would have been in the shade had we gone in late afternoon. 🤷‍♀️

I loved it you get highlights of both Mississippi and Vicksburg

The murals were very nicely done. They are across the street from a little city park with a splash pad. It had a few picnic tables and some shade. It was an older park that needed some updates. The murals, however blocked the view of the river. It was a boat entrance. It would have been really nice to be able to see the river from the park.

Cool set of murals with the history and key moments of Vicksburg's past and it's famous residents.

Small museum that shows the history of Coca Cola being bottled in the region. They have cokes available for sale from 1991 to current day. They also lots of coke memorabilia for sale. They sell coke floats as well. It cost $3 per person to get into the museum side. Not much to see here beyond what you see in the picks. Suggest skipping and visiting the Atlanta Coca Cola Museum instead.

Great collection of coca-cola products, was interesting to read about the history behind some of these items and see what they looked like throughout time.

3.50 admission fee, small but very good coca cola nostalgia! We enjoyed going back in time! Go out back and visit the old fountain station building! Hunter was very nice and we enjoyed it!

Being a bottle collector and fan of Coca-Cola, I really enjoyed this museum. You can even order a Coke or float to enjoy while taking the tour.

I learned today that Coca-Cola was first bottled here in Vicksburg. What a neat little museum. It was only a $3.50 entry fee and it took about 20 minutes to walk through. Recommend stopping in if you enjoy history. They also have some souvenirs and gifts at the end of the self-guided tour you could purchase.

Nice little Coca-Cola museum with tons of history and collections. My only complaint is that the bottled sodas we purchased could have been colder. I mean, it is promoted as "ice cold Coca-Cola."The entrance fee is very reasonable.

Very interesting history and beautiful displays. Gives the full history of coca-cola and how it became a household item. Definitely recommend stopping by!

What a great museum! There are a lot of displays and videos about the impact of the Mississippi River and the impacts on the topography of all the areas it flows through. I really found the interactive portions to help put it into perspective and show how things change and how man can help lessen the impacts of environmental factors. The gentleman working was very friendly. Free admission and there is free parking nearby.

I loved this museum and the ship. It seemed as if several of their audio-visual elements were down like the theater and several of the kiosks, but it is a very thorough and detailed history of the river and Vicksburg and the Army Corps of Engineers. I learned a lot I didn't know and it will give you a greater appreciation for the Corps of Engineers.

We had never heard of this place, even being from Mississippi. Took a road trip after my wife saw it online. The museum itself is somewhat interesting, but the tugboat named Motor Vessel Mississippi  IV, attached to the museum was very cool. Basically fully maintained since 1961. It’s a large tugboat that the US Army Corp if Engineers used. Very cool. Admission $3.50.

A nice little afternoon stop on a roadtrip. I picked it out for my dad, who I was traveling with, despite not having any particular interest myself, but I wound up reading every display and really enjoying the history lesson. And of course, I love a good old boat, so that part was excellent! On a Saturday afternoon there was almost no one there, so don't worry about crowds. Parking is street from what I could find, but wasn't an issue.

It is pretty cool to check out if you haven't been on a working boat and this is coming from a person who works on tugs and pushboats. I worked on the red pushboat and company United Tugs as deckhand from the start of towing / tailing the riverboat down south to Hudson Drydock in Morgan City, La.. Then taken barge and boat back up through the Achafalaya river; having to cut the mast off the top of the wheelhouse to fit under the overpass during low tide and still was able to touch the bridge while passing under. That was me climbing the later with the life vest and dressed in black. It was a wonderful experience that I'll never forget and just as exciting visiting it 10 years after as a museum. I was so young then and the Vicksburg people were so nice and very friendly and such a beautiful place. The only problem was after listening to some music that afternoon having a couple this flat swamp land boy was worried about walking down dat hill to get back to da boat. Hahahaha.

Nice museum with quite a few informational displays. It is clean and you can tour the large rowboat on display. Admission is free and they have restroom facilities. It is located close to the river in historic downtown.

Nice museum with information & exhibits on the history of the Mississippi River & Vicksburg.

This was not our first visit, but it's been several years since we were last here. There were many new additions, and a little rearranging since our previous trip. So many things to see. I'm grateful for those who preserve history like this. The museum is a former court house, two story (handicap lift available to get you upstairs if needed), and slap full of amazing, well organized and maintained pieces of history. Entry fee is reasonable, I believe we paid $10/person, but it's less for seniors and children. Honestly, we will probably stop in anytime we visit Vicksburg, that's how much we enjoy this place. I definitely recommend adding this to your list of places to visit if you're in town, or passing through.

As someone who appreciates historic architecture, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the old courthouse museum. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout, making the experience all the more pleasant. A delightful surprise was Eva, the resident outdoor cat, who added an extra touch of charm to the visit. As a proud cat parent myself, her presence truly made the day unforgettable.

Wow!!! Absolutely amazing!!! I loved every second of this nature and the lesson that came with it !!! 1st parolee in vicksburh, ms!!! Thank u guys

Really interesting eclectic exhibits on the history of Vicksburg. So much to see, and it's very well arranged.

We highly recommend this museum. Great place with many wonderfulartifacts! Easily accessible by the ramp Outside on one side of the building. There is a chair lift to take you up to the second floor if you can't do stairs. The staff is very friendly and very helpful.

Wonderful historical experience! Great for the whole family or anyone who is interested in Civil War history. Plan an hour minimum. Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Gift shop was great. Displays are informative and well organized. Sparked a lot of interest in the Civil War for my children.

Has awesome displays, explanations of the cival war, drawings/pictures of the war at Vicksburg. Many artillery shells with fuse explanations, costumes of the period, tools, the original clock mechanism. Drawing of the mechanism under water which sunk the gun boat U S S Charo. There was a reading stating the residents would not celebrate 4th of July for a century.

Unfortunately we arrived right after closing time on a quiet Saturday evening. Hopefully can return and visit it one day. Walked around the outside and took some photos just the same. The old rail cars are showing a bit of neglect and corrosion but I hope the interior holds some nice exhibits.

So much information to get through. The diorama of the battle grounds is a must see! Helped put everything in perspective and made the National Park drive through so much more realistic. Could have spent hours there but didn't realize we needed that much time- came too close to the closing. That may be why the ladies there didn't do anything but turn on the trains for a few min and then the video in the next room- which ended up not playing. We were encouraged to look at both floors of things, but they never circulated and couldn't answer our questions.

The Old Depot Museum of Vicksburg is a very eclectic collection of railroad memorabilia, model trains, ships and Vicksburg history in an old train depot. The building itself is historically significant and nice to look at. There is really a little of everything here including a scale model of the Vicksburg battlefield. A very interesting place to visit.

Popped in out of Curiosity and what a pleasant surprise! Very informed Staff, buy entry to The Museum.....Fun and Fascinating.

Friendly staff, and it's not just trains! There was military and transportation and even my favorite Coca-Cola room! If you haven't, you need to!

Lots to see here... model trains, models of many warships from several eras, and other artwork. For me, the most worthwhile item was the diorama of the Vicksburg siege. If your itinerary includes the battlefield drive, seeing this diorama first might help put things in a more understandable perspective.

Many of the museums in Vicksburg are within walking distance. Wife and I did seven museums in 2 day, spending less than a $1,000 on a 4 day 3 night trip including lodging at a B&B, as well as fuel and food.

Museum, gift shop, and restrooms inside. Very respectful, welcoming staff. I liked that their staff took great care in bringing down the American flag during the start of a heavy storm to protect it. Lots of parking. National cemetery across the parking lot overlooking the Mississippi River. Very peaceful surroundings. Handful of picnic areas for use.

I’ve been here several times on road trips. I enjoyed it so much I brought my teen boys to see it this time. They were very interested and liked they could actually walk out on the boat and see the cannons, etc. A museum is attached and informative. The Beautiful grounds are good for birding, also. I entered with my National Park Pass.

This was amazing we loved all the information and visiting. The girl was very helpful and friendly at the museum. The park was so very interesting but didn’t get to see everything. It is must see if you love history

Really interesting exhibit. Part of Vicksburg National Military Park. Has a nice museum and gift shop. Really enjoyed visiting.

Great museum with the actual ironclad ship that was sunk during the battle of Vicksburg and raised over 100 years later. Lots of items recovered from the ship in the museum. Nice gift shop.

Fabulous restored Union gunboat and on display of a Union boat built in St Louie and sailed to Vicksburg to join the battle against the commies (Oops, Confederates), sunk in the Yazoo River by a possible Confederate mine. Discoverd and dug out of the river in 1959

I can't help to be amazed when I come across exhibits like this. It's not necessarily the exhibit itself, but as I stand and contemplate what type of technology was available, and then try to understand how they put things like this together, it just amazes me. American history can sometimes be thought of as dull, but I think the people who believe that lack the ability to imagine a time different than they live in. What the shipwrights had to do to create this vessel, and then consider the soldiers that served on it and the accommodations they put up with to defend our country this is just incredible. Very few today could've dealt with this type of environment. Take a few moments and close your eyes and imagine the life of a soldier on an iron side boat. This exhibit is well laid out, but it is what you make of it. Well worth the experience.

The Catfish Row Art Park has a nice collection of structures that to me resemble the old stack caps of riverboats. A nice area to stroll and admire the art that is all around. There are also some historic plaques displayed in the area. The water feature was not working while we were there but I understand it is very nice.

If you look at the mural it seems odd to me that indigenous people were using dimensional lumber. I did not know that they has sawmills.

It was an interesting place to see art related to the area over time

LOVE this park!! So clean and family friendly!! We also loved the murals across the road that are so rich in state history.

Worth checking out. The Coca-Cola museum is close by, plus shopping areas.

Its amazing palace whit a good painting on the wall its amazing

We were driving the great river road and stopped here for lunch. It's an awesome park! There's art, music, and the riverfront! The levee murals are a walk through history. Definitely worth the effort!

The artic was filled with precious words of art big and small. Met the owner and curator and she was a delight. The people working were so friendly and knowledgeable about all the local artists pieces. Will definitely return if I'm in Vicksburg, again. Definitely worth the stop in!

Very cool art gallery with some amazing local artwork.

What a great little gallery of mainly folk art. We really loved this place. Really cool space with local art filling every brim. Some fun and funky pieces of jewelry and art in all mediums. Beautiful watercolors, some great mixed media, just great stuff. We would highly recommend this place.

I love this amazing little Gallery. I want to go back to Vicksburg just to purchase Art. The owner was so nice and new all the artist personally. There was so much to see. I wanted everything. If you are passing near Vicksburg, MS it is definitely worth the stop. Also grab one excellent cup of coffee from the coffee shop downstairs.

I came. I browsed. I bought. I fell in love. The Attic Gallery is not just a place, it's a passion. The love and respect of art and artist is woven into the visual tapestry of color and texture and pleasure while the oohs and ahhs and sharp inhales and soft clinks and clanks of arranging and rearranging treasures becomes the joyous soundtrack of the shopping experience. This first visit I was overwhelmed with the urge for beautiful pottery. I hope for more visits and purchases. What a wonderful atmosphere these lovely, smart, knowledgeable ladies have created as they curate and caretake precious works.

Very beautiful art studio. Lots of amazing art. Serious art! Really amazing place.

This is an amazing gallery. There was so many things I could have bought! It sells a wide ranging collection of extremely high quality regional artists. It is so amazing to talk with people who can give you wonderful insights to the artists some of whom have provided work to the gallery for decades. It is an absolute must visit. I look forward to hanging my artwork when I return to New Zealand.

YES. This is a fantastic museum of the history of Vicksburg and its people. Take a couple of hours, learn and enjoy! Than you to the members of the Vicksburg community who started and support this dynamic resource.

The name for this museum is a bit deceiving. It is in fact not a museum about catfish, but about the city, region and the influence of the past on the present and future. It is about the people, the food and so much more. Admission is free, but they do accept donations. I would recommend this to anyone in the area for an in depth look into the culture.

I’m part of AmeriCorps, and a couple of us visited the museum today to visit Vicksburg. We met Linda, her daughter, and her granddaughter! They were super welcoming and gave great recommendations. The museum was very interesting, and they even have events like grit tasting. Highly recommend a visit!!

Beautiful Musuem put together by the locals. Such interesting authentic items and images that hold sentimental value but are important to educate the public. It's amazing that the community donated these things.

This is a free museum, and it is worth the time it takes to go through it. I learned a great deal about the history and culture of Vicksburg.

Owner, Linda, was extremely gracious and passionate giving her time and knowledge in going over the programs, exhibit items that the community donated to the museum. She has vision that its mission is to transfer the civil cultures, food ways and values from the community to the visitors.

Very interesting local history. The lady there today (Chris) was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our visit very much.

This is a very nice little museum. The owner is a great guy. Very informative and a large variety of artifacts..

Curator was so knowledgeable and friendly! There is so much history here! It was really enjoyable if you were into history!

When we first walked into this museum the man who owns it greeted us. He is personable and knowledgeable. Do not be deceived by the size of this museum. It is well organized, has a vast variety of items that are labeled, videos, paintings, and interesting information throughout. It cost $10 per person to go through, and it is well worth it.

I am so happy I found this museum. It was great to see such an amazing collection, from all aspects of the war. Whether it was found ammunition from various battlefields, the collection of quotes from both sides displayed throughout, or the vast amount of weaponry, this place gets better and better with the turning of each corner inside the building. The best part of this museum however, is the owner of the collection, Charles. He is such a great person, and I felt very fortunate he took the time to have such a great conversation. If you find yourself in Vicksburg, please go see him. You won’t be disappointed.

Unbelievable collection and history. Wonderfully friendly owner and curator. Worthy of being in the Smithsonian. The collection I mean. It’s worth driving out of your way to see this. Please support him through donations or purchases of memorabilia. It’s inconceivable how he could put this together without a national service or agency backing.

This is a fabulous museum, with thousands of exhibits professionally presented and kept in clean and wonderful condition. The owner and curator Mr Charles Pendleton is super friendly and offers a wealth of knowledge - he enjoys chatting and interacting with his museum visitors. A really nice man. My wife and I are from Great Britain and we were travelling through the Deep South and Midwest on a road trip - we enjoyed meeting Charles and are very pleased we stopped by his museum. Thanks Mr Charles for making us feel so welcome.

The best gun collection I've seen. Amazing artifacts including a small room dedicated to WWII. This is a self owned museum & the owner was friendly & informative. Go & make sure to donate.

So, it's currently closed for a much needed preservation / restoration. I can't honestly give an accurate house review. What a historical place though!

You cannot enter the location, as it appeared to be under construction. Based on the supports on the structure, the building is not doing well. Hope for the structure reopen in the future. We had to view from the outside on the street. Only a couple of miles from the battlefield.

The building is in disrepair and not open for tours. A disappointment because this building is where confederate General Pemberton was based during the siege of Vicksburg.

People redoing it they want tours but need to make safe coolto look at

Lots of tourist parking to pull over in historic areas and read plaques take pictures, etc.

It's where I like to go just to unwind and buy my type of clothes.

Closed for renovations

The hospitality of the owner was amazingly gracious. Her information of the history of the town, and home, was superb. She was thorough to explain the history of the house, and its near ruin, as well as its modern history. Her love for the home, and of the city of Vicksburg, shone brilliantly through every phase of her explanations. I would highly recommend this as a “have to” place to visit.

We were disappointed in the tour of this home. Expecting to gain knowledge regarding the original owners and the true origins of the home, we were given a tour that mostly included the current owners odd collections and current events that have taken place at this property (weddings/parties/ and the like). Unfortunately, the home was in disarray and very cluttered. Sure, these collections may be very valuable, but they seem not to be relevant to a tour of a 1800’s home.

The guy that owns the place and gives tours is an extremely nice guy and is quite knowledgeable. It is nice to see that someone cares and keeps the place in nice shape.

By far mine and my wife’s favorite stop on our trip to Vicksburg. Tour guide was amazing. Would recommend to anyone interested in the history of Vicksburg

Great home. Owner was very friendly and informative. Price was certainly reasonable. Love a several of the antiques

Charming couple gave very knowledgeable tour. Exemplary Southern Hospitality.

Gorgeous property. Very knowledgeable of the house. Under "new" owners. The sisters were both a delight!

This is a wonderful, historical, intimate local theater. They specialize in niche productions, whether on screen or stage. Some of their shows host Church groups, some have a controversial edge. The theater is very old; it was originally built in 1934, and then closed in the 60's. It was lovingly restored and is a local gem. They offer free popcorn, and reasonable admission prices. Check and see when they're next showing something you'd enjoy seeing.

Great homey crowd. Off the beaten path and lots of great regulars. Just saw Across the Universe on the big screen. Nice crowd and great feeling of community.

The Strand is the genius child of a couple of classic film lovers with a grand sense of community spirit. The Strand had been closed for decades, but with vision, several years of inspired work, and the generous support of supporters and volunteers, the Strand has risen like the Phoenix from the ashes to become the best reason to be downtown in Vicksburg at night. Classic films, local theatrical performances, filmed operas, and special events including an annual film festival attract a friendly, hip audience. Snacks, soft drinks, and wine in very attractive surroundings all contribute to a most pleasurable--and dare I say--urbane experience.

Loved seeing Autovue there last Saturday. I was really impressed with the venue. We'll definitely be back to catch some future shows 👍

We had a girls night to go see a friend in a play here, the theatre is small and cozy, which I love and often prefer when going to see a performance. They serve a small selection of wine, the seats are comfy and the people who run the Strand are friendly. If you want to go see a play in Vicksburg, go to the Strand Theatre.

Great price, free popcorn, restored 1930's theatre. Older style theatre seats so dont expect stadium style recliner seats. Took the kids to see Monty Python Holy Grail, everyone rode their coconut horse out of the theatre. I hope they continue to show some of the "Classics" really reminded me of going to the movie theatre when I was young.

The best place to hangout on a Saturday evening in Vicksburg. An eclectic mix of films ranging from documentaries, and art films to quirky comedies and foreign language gems are screened regularly. For the theatre lovers, the local Westside Theatre Foundation also has frequent live performances. The Strand is also one of the only two places in the entire state to host the Manhattan Short Film Festival every year which runs to an absolute packed house. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the complementary sealsalt popcorn. No wonder this is a regular haunt for the cinephiles and theatre lovers.

Extremely nice park only reason i gave one star was because i had a nasty encounter with the older lady who works at the rusty rooster. My food was cold I politely told them they tried to refry my food i told them no she got mad i asked for refund. Was told to go to market i went the manager gave me a refund and i spent double at the pizza spot they have food was fresh and hot. Manager didn't seem to much to care about his employees attitude so i guess thats just their thing or maybe they thought i was a child im 33 😂 either way unprofessional food to high to be served cold

This is a super nice complex with so many extras. Turf fields. A convenience store. Several concession stands with different food shoves. A zip line!! Putt putt. And nice playground. Very clean and very well kept. Great spot. I hope we play here again and again. I took a picture of the field layout since I couldn’t find it uploaded already.

Ridiculously hot day, but the ball park is amazing. Great fields, multiple concessions, clean restrooms, and nifty little misting stations to help cool down. Nicest park of its kind that I've seen.

We played in the Vicksburg Stinger Draft and the park was amazing. Plenty of shaded spots, wonderful turf fields, HUGE dugouts, and clean bathrooms at both ends of the park! There is plenty of parking as well!

Very nice and have pizza and beer. Clean lots of fields astroturf. Playground and putt putt ⛳

The only thing I have to say negative about this complex is there ought to be another parking lot. There should be a parking lot on both ends of the complex, because when you have a game on the very last field, it literally takes 10-15 minutes to walk across the entire complex. Otherwise, I love the new sportsplex. Our city desperately needed this nice, new place for our children to play sports so we really enjoy it. Plus, there are quite a few unique features at this complex. There are concession stands, there's a store where you can buy drinks and snacks, there's a pizza parlor and there are several nice restrooms here. Lastly, my child absolutely LOVES the playground. After every practice and game, my son runs to the playground to play with the other kids and I have to basically pick him up and carry him to the car to get him off of the merry go round! If you have not had a chance to visit this complex, come check it out. It's a nice addition to the city of Vicksburg!!

Fields are absolutely beautiful but entry fee is absolutely crazy, no heaters,generators, outside food and drinks,pretty much only chairs and tents staff was rude and acted like they did not want to be there the food and concessions are stupid high and they run out of everything quickly then you are not getting anything to eat. It’s more of a tourist trap than anything

Employees are friendly, but there's really nothing impressive about the place. Cool history, but not worth the $15/person entry fee. There are some pieces that remain in the home from previous owners, or items found on the property over time, but a good bit is simply "true to the era" of the section of the house it's in. Don't get me wrong, I love old stuff, and history, so I did enjoy looking at things and hearing the stories, but I got bored quickly. I imagine they offer the tour in an attempt to tell the history of the place, otherwise, there wouldn't be much draw. Sad to say, but I wouldn't recommend this place unless it was free or had a lower entry fee; it's just not worth it (IMO).

We had the perfect tour experience! Our guide was knowledgeable, the history was fascinating, and the home was the perfect mix of southern gothic charm and macabre. This is a can’t-miss experience if you are visiting Vicksburg!

Let's start with the good, the house is beautiful and very well accommodated with period pieces . We went for a haunted tour and it looks spooky at night . The tour itself was not good. There were 2 tour guides who contradicted eachother. The stories were poorly told and jumped back and fourth . It could have been so much better.

I went on the haunted tour for 7 PM. Firstly, the house is beautiful inside and out. I’d love to visit during the day to take it all in. As for the tour itself, the actors delivered their stories well! My personal favorite was the last lady who pointed out my PTK shirt 😅. But everyone was interactive with the guests in their own way. Great tour!

This has to be one of the craziest experiences I have ever had! I do believe that ghosts exist but always skeptical if things are legitimate. I have visited many haunted sites as I live in South Louisiana. This experience was like no other! Our tour guide Landon was full of knowledge about the property and the families that lived there. The first interesting thing happened when we entered the bedroom that Mary had passed away in. The light on the side table turned itself off! We then headed into Andrew's room. Landon warned us before we walked in that there is a heavy presence feeling in there. I 100% felt it the second I stepped into the room! I felt as if someone had hung weights on my body. Just a very heavy feeling. Landon proceeded to tell us about Andrew and his history. She mentioned pretty extensively that he is very handsy. She said that she has personally felt his hands on her backside and thighs. She also said that other guests have reported the same. It sounded very interesting but of course you can't help but wonder if people embellish the story just to make it more interesting. I did not feel Andrew's hands on me. We then went down into the kitchen for the final part of the tour. I had my phone in my hand because I am a big photo taker and was snapping lots of shots. The camera was on. I must have snapped a photo by accident. The photo was of the tour guide, my friend, and my legs and feet. When I looked at the photo I was in utter and complete shock! There is what very clearly appears to be a man's arm with veins sticking out and and outstretched hand as if it was trying to grab my leg!!! I had a blue long sleeve shirt on so absolutely was not my arm! There was no one else there but us three girls! I have photos of the whole kitchen area and there is nothing there that this could have been!

It was my first paranormal experience ever, and it was broad daylight! My tour guide, Steve was awesome and so knowledgeable! And a secret hint. Just remember, ravioli maker and homemade egg carton maker! Sorry Steve!

My daughter and I did the candle light tour. She’s 11 and usually not impressed by anything but she enjoyed the stories and acting! They take groups of 10 at a time so it’s not crowded. I did have a few little scares. I smelled a really strong ammonia smell like ammonia mixed with flowers, my daughter couldn’t smell anything. I also felt something like a feather on my arm and hand and had a little rash on my hand while I was there. Yes I could have been sensitive to some kind of plant or something in the environment but hey it’s supposed to be haunted right? It was a good time, the owner and employees obviously care a lot about the place and that’s pretty cool to see. I’d like to go back and do a daytime tour to see more of the house and grounds. My only advice is to wear flat shoes! The walkway and stairs are a little tricky if you’re wearing heels :)

I was visiting family in Vicksburg with my wife, and my daughter asked if we liked plays. Sure we said, why? She suggested we all go see "Gold in the Hills", put on by the local theatre group. We went. What a hoot! We laughed, we sang, we went boo and hiss over and over. We pretended to swoon when Nell appeared. Patrons told us "Nell is my cousin, I know the boy playing Little Tommy." We cheered for John Dalton, more than once. Old Kate hobbles around the stage but she can dance up a can can when money is involved. The can can dancers put on quite a show too, and, showed us their cans. It was great fun and a enjoyable evening. I wished we lived in town to see more of their productions.

I have enjoyed all the shows I've seen here. the people have been amazing. I highly recommend visiting! my only tiny hangup is that refreshments are not really available. I bring a soda and some kind of snack (with quiet packaging, of course!)

Thank you for a wonderful evening of singing and laughter. A few weeks ago we traveled over to Vicksburg from Naples Fla. during our winter vacation from Nags Head, NC. Our family visit, always wonderful, was outstanding due to our evening entertainment attending "Gold In The Hills". Both our parents married in 1936 ....when this play was first performed. My Dad who was born in 1906 would sing all of those "old songs" much to embarrassment us kids!! Even, "When you wore a tulip". I would think, so sappy Dad! Well guess who laughed and cried and knew all the words to all the songs over 50 years after his death .... me. I loved the audience participation and the community theater's inclusion of so many Vicksburg residents. It seemed everyone sitting near us was happy to share "my niece is playing Nell or that little boy is my cousin or I was Pete the Rat last year!" To get the chance to boo the villain and coo after the stage kiss, was a delight! Thank you all for your efforts and thank you Renee for taking us to this wonderful performance.

Absolutely love this place Great people, atmosphere, and the actors actresses are mesmerizing A most see 🥰

Went to see Gold In the Hills it was fabulous!

The shows they do are great. I feel like they at least need to do a few sensational musicals each year. For instance, Grease or Phantom of the Opera. It might be expensive, but you will also double the profits because Broadway shows are a fad again. (The Greatest Showman, Hamilton, etc.)

After being shut in for 2 years it felt wonderful to get out and enjoy a evening out I attended a play at the Vicksburg Theater Guild Directed and written by Diamond N. Washington Title Warning Before Destruction The Exposure And a few of my family members were amongst the cast The play was truly inspiring full of laughter can't think of any place I could have been enjoyable even with family

Thanksgiving night to see Red One. Staff were cussing among themselves as we walked in. Then their attitude.. as if we were asking them to do their job or something was too much. The theater is run down, carpet torn, stairs and walls all look very old. Theater 2 six chairs covered in plastic, ceiling had hole in it.overhead lights never turned off, Chairs leather worn and peeling. I’m not usually one to leave a bad review but this was ridiculous. Vicksburg mall BB theater is awfully run down in a city with plenty of people that should have nice accommodations like nearby Ridgeland or Madison, I just don’t understand it.

I went to the movies here 3 weekends in a row. The first 2 visits were in theatre #3. Very nice atmosphere. Enjoyed myself both time. The 3rd time...oh my goodness. We went to theatre #2. Yelk! It was super small but thar was ok. The carpet was nasty. I couldn't hear what the actors were saying when the talked in their normal voices because the air conditioning unit was running LOUDLY right above our heads. There were only about 12 seats available because the rest were covered with plastic. The seat I was sitting in was Well-Worn with patches of leather rubbed off. There was this smell 😳 like when you leave your windows down in your car and it rains...2 ticket, 1 large popcorn, 2 medium soft drinks...$40 !

Clean and nicely organized. The theater was great. Clean comfortable seating, and the movie screen was clear, so the movie was crisp and clear. Great experience with the attendant working that day as well. Friendly and courteous. Overall, very nice. 👍

Nice and clean, with polite staff. The only reasons I didn't give it 5 stars are: the screen was visibly dirty; the picture was clipped a bit on the sides (very noticable during the credits); and the mall the theater is attached to is in significant decline.

The movie, Bob Marley One Love, 5*****!!!! The employees, 100% around the board! The seats, the service the atmosphere all 5 star worthy. Why only 3 star rating... the movie tickets were $8.60x2... The MOVIE SNACKS WERE $42.37!!!! A BOTTLE WATER $7.90...ijs

Line was slow and ridiculously long to get buy our tickets. Thought we were going to miss the beginning of the movie, but they started it late. Only 1 person working tickets and concessions. Love the recline seats!

The theater itself is ok but needs a refurbishing. The recliners are showing age. The mall it is located inside of is not ok. It needs a major overhaul. Most of the stores inside are closed probably because it is old and run down looking as well as the parking lots. Me and my wife were thinking this is what the country would look like if the pandemic was actually really deadly and wiped out half the population. That's how it felt walking through this mall. Virtually empty of stores and people. It has potential to be a really nice place under new management maybe.

We found this spot while looking for something fun to do over the Thanksgiving weekend and had so much fun! The staff was professional, accommodating, and courteous; the facility space was clean; they were considerate of everyone with the music choice(s) and even let us DoorDash food in. The prices were affordable and the coaches were both courteous and helpful. So glad this is in Vicksburg — we will definitely be back!

This is the best axe throwing place I done! Tyler our coach was absolutely amazing!! We appreciate all of his tips!!! I for sure recommend going! Make sure you get your KLUTCH!!!

I have had a beautiful time at The Chopping Block! Great atmosphere, great beer and staff is amazing!

My wife and I weren't planning to go here when we went downtown, but we couldn't resist when we saw it. We threw axes for a full hour and drank a beer. We had a great time! The staff keep a close eye on patrons to ensure they follow the safety rules, and they even supply tips on throwing technique. If you're looking for something a little different to do, I highly recommend it.

Had so much fun with my daughter there. Super friendly, clean, great service and instructors. would recommend for entire family (over 10). Will be a normal hang out spot now.

Definitely a fun time in the staff was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the ax throwing and the other amenities that were available.

I had a blast here really alot of fun relaxed environment great ppl, an actually cold beer. Highly recommend.

Excellent talent from a very small town. Acoustics and lightning are very good. Seats are comfortable and ticket prices are reasonable. In the last 5 years I have not been disappointed in the productions that I have seen. Mary popping was outstanding and the last two st. Aloysius high school musicals were excellent; beauty and the beast, and peter pan

Just saw Always, Patsy Cline yesterday and it was wonderful and beyond! It is such a pleasure getting see amazing local talent and production at their best! I would highly recommend the show!

I enjoy watching shows there and helping backstage. There is a wasp problem there that needs to be addressed along with a leaking roof. It has been since December, so I am not sure if these issued have been addressed and fixed.

Watched Gold in the Hills and enjoyed it immensely. There were some technical difficulties but the actors handled it wells, especially the singer who lost the recorded music mid-song.

Enjoyed a matinee play named "Footloose". It was very good. I really enjoyed it.

Excellent performance of The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Awesome shows, great atmosphere

This National Cemetery was established by Congress in 1866. Interment began next year, making it one of the FIRST National Cemeteries in USA. More than 17000 troops are buried here, making this the largest Union Cemeteries in the Nation. Identify of more than 13000 are unknown. A significant number of “Colored Troops” - African American troops - are also buried here. .

We had a baby shower in Maggie's Hall and it was beautiful

My husband and I had our wedding here in October with around 60-85 ish guests and had the best day ever. Owners are super sweet and accommodating.

Don't waste your time & money, it's not worth it. The hotel & casino is run by lazy, rude and uncaring people. The front desk lady at the hotel gave us cards that didn't work, refused to give us the $20 promotion and had an attitude. The hotel itself is run down. There's no elevator, and the room reeks of heavy smoke despite asking for a non-smoking room. The Players Club attendant (another rude lady) could care less about her job or customers. I asked about promotions, she said she didn't know so I went online. I downloaded the app & received a $5 promotion which never loaded & she couldn't help me, btw I never received the promotion. The casino bar is a joke. I waited a good 30 minutes before finally finding a girl who said "I'll be right there" as she stood talking to a lady playing. The drinks were free but you'll have a hard time finding staff to order one. As I got ready to walk from the casino to the hotel, I found out the interior walkway was closed due to staff shortage so we walked out of the casino and down the parking lot. It just wasn't a good experience. Btw, I'm not bitter because I lost, I only lost $40 but my husband won a few hundred. The whole experience was just frustrating & a waste of time and energy. It looks like it's time for Bally's to clean house.

Nice and clean. However the 3 card poker table was closed. It's the only table game I play. I'll try again soon.

I tried to like this place. I like a lot of the games they have, but the place is way to sketchy. People stand over your shoulder while you are trying to play asking you for money. I've been 3 times in 3 weeks i've been asked for money a minumum of 5 times each visit. Not going back here again.

This place is awful. The hotel is nasty outdated. Not safe at all. The parking lot smells like sewage. If I could leave no stars I would. When I tell you this is like living a nightmare I mean it.

Yall need to get updated on your machines everywhere else is better but here some of these are soo old they need to be long gone months ago get with the program and get new machines!!

Fun place to visit. Small intimate experience. Friendly employees.

Our room was very nice, quiet, and mostly comfortable. We complained that the air conditioner was not functioning as it should. It was set at 61 degrees all evening and through the night, but the actual temperature felt more like 75+ degrees. We are hot-natured and prefer a cold room. Except for the warm room, everything was wonderful. The staff was extremely professional, friendly, and helpful. The representative at the front desk made a note of our AC complaint.

Easy to find and we loved the river view from our room. As a measure of security we liked that you needed your room key to access the elevator from the 1st floor. We reserved a King Parlor room, the room was spacious, there was a jet tub in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. Only giving a 3 star for the room and 2 star for service because the walls seem to be thin. We were able to hear the people in the room next to us and the 'sounds' coming from their room. The toilet seat had a few yellow spots on it and the wash rag on the shelf by the jet tub was damp. We cleaned the toilet seat ourselves because it only took a few minutes and after traveling for hours we just wanted to relax and chill out, so we figured it would take less time to clean it ourselves than calling the front desk and asking for a different room or asking them to send someone to clean it. We did mention the issues to the front desk clerk when we checked out the next morning.

Rooms are very nice and it's a great price for what you get. They also have a great little restaurant in the casino. Stayed here for a work trip and it worked out great. If you get a river side room the view is also fantastic. It's also no children allowed which is a plus when you're travelling for business so there is less noise. The one con is there is no microwave in the hotel rooms.

The view from the hotel room overlooking the Mississippi River was the best part by far. The property is very dated. They claimed they updated the rooms but it looks like they just added some paint and luxury vinyl flooring. The hot tub did not work and nobody utilized the pool which made us think twice as well. The staff was pleasant though. As for the casino, there were plenty of games and promotions but it was extremely smoky. This left our clothes and hair smelling like an ashtray after just 20 minutes of playing. Most of their staff were engaging as well. Location was close to enough to get anywhere by car in 5-10 minutes. Spent a day at the Vicksburg National Military Park which was well worth a few hours. I can’t compare to other places in Vicksburg but this did not meet our standards for quality but it was priced right for value.

Sorry excuse for food. They messed up taking away the buffet, quick service, and sit down restaurants-leaving only a poor excuse for food. Bring back the restaurants. Stop the riff raff and make the comps appealing to people who don’t want to buy a nasty hot dog. Shut the doors and open a better class establishment or bring back the amenities so you don’t feel like you are going to catch something just walking through the doors. Back years ago, this was a fun place But now it is run down and disgusting.

2nd time here. Beautiful location on the waterfront. Rooms comfortable, tv way to small, especially when 75 inch screen is now $400. Could use some updating and the aroma in the hallways is a bit strong. Staff were super nice. Casino was fun, but a bit chilly. Decent slot variety and has tables. Cost is reasonable. Fun stay would visit again

Made a reservation online. I’ve stayed here before and had a good experience. Upon check in I was informed we could not stay due to minors traveling in our group. We had already unloaded our luggage. Front desk staff reported it’s due to guests leaving their children unattended while the parents go to casino. It would have been important to inform me of that before booking and planning our travel accommodations. I’ve never encountered this type of rule at others casino hotels. Hotel staff said it’s listed in fine print on the reservation website. Disappointing experience.
