Alexandria???

My husband and I will be visiting Alexandria in the next couple of weeks and I was looking for anyone from there or familiar with it.  We're looking for fun things to do! Thanks Rachael

Hi, I'm about 1hour from Alexandria. Alexandria does not have a lot to do.  Mall, Zoo, Movies, a place called Fun Zone in Pineville ( more for kids, but does have min golf and the cars you drive).  This is about all I know of. Hope it helps.

Hi, I am sitting at my desk right now in Alexandria working.  As the other told you, not much to do in Alexandria.    Zoo is nice.  Great golf course Links on the Bayou, but we have had so much rain the ground is soaked.  Kent Plantation is located about 2 miles from I49 off the north McArthur exit.  A very large casino about 40 miles away in Marksville...has great entertainment at times.  Natchiotches is about 40 miles north of Alexandria, straight easy drive on I49,  great town, Steel Magnolias filmed there.  Very old town with lots of charm and very tourist catered!!!! Natchez Mississippi is a little over an hour drive east of Alexandria, another great old town with lots of plantation homes on the Mississippi River.  It to caters to tourist. What type of things are you looking to do?  Several theater things....go to this web site might help some. http://www.louisianafromhere.org/ Let me know your interest and I will let you know of what the area offers. 

Thanks for the information.  I am interviewing for a job there and we want to explore just a bit and find out what the community is like.  It's just my husband and me, no kids at this time.  My husband likes theatre and movies quite a bit and I like swimming and plantation homes

It is a great place to live and raise a family.  Not too big or small. Thought you was just visiting.  Great school system.  Pineville side of the area is really growing as well as the other rural areas within 20min drive to Alexandria.  Be sure to explore the outer  limits of the area....Woodworth with Indian Creek Recreation area, Kincaid Lake area out Hwy 28 west, again Pineville side.  Interstate 49 connects Shreveport and Lafayette a 2 hour drive.
