Great Activities in Laplace, LA 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Laplace is one of the best places for learning about culture while having a great time. The food is great and there's lots to say and do, include museums in historic houses that provide pertinent information on the people and events that made Laplace the city it is today.

Cajun ...Read More Pride Swamp Tours is a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy. You'll ride on a ferry and get to see alligators, various types of fish and other cajun wildlife up close. Cajun Pride Tours is another great attraction that gives you insight into the history of the city and the beautiful architecture and landscape of the area.

When you're looking for a way to unwind with family and friends, go to Debbie's Lounge. This eatery offers traditional bar food with cajun twist. Bonnet Carre Spillway makes a great outing as well, since this attraction allows you to enjoy the scenery and enjoy activities like fishing and water sports. Read Less
