Set up all the canvas, easels, did & got the cake ready, punch ready, everything well planned out and organized. All we have to do is show up! We had the kids paint Olaf the snowman from Frozen. They loved it. Md Denise was wonderful with the kids they all paid attention to her and all the little snowman paintings turned out so cute. It was great that at the end of the day the kids went home with their own unique creation. I highly recommend this place. They were pleasant to work with and the kids had such a great time we will definitely be back.

Anyone can also participate in open mic night on Sunday, 4:30p - 6:30p. The comedians were fantastic! I did not expect the long lineup! There were in the end 9 different comedians. Great to know there are so many entertaining, hilarious comedians performing in Baton Rouge. The group was diverse and everything goes! Lol. It was a hoot! Had one of my best nights out in a long time in Baton Rouge, LA. Congratulations, Boomerang! I love a little theater!

They work year round on their detailed and amazing set designs (i actually spent more time looking at those than even trying to enjoy the spooks and scares). The actors are pretty good. We missed some of the features due to how our group got mixed with a slower moving couple who awkwardly held up things and kept pulling off to the side. I like that they have some actor engagement in the line... i feel like there could be more bc you really are just standing there. They added more bathrooms for the line, so that was nice. I appreciate the security in and around the house. This particular year (and perhaps previous years as I haven't been in a few), the whole thing ended pretty suddenly and lacklusterly when you just walk out into a store selling shirts.... no ending fright, nothing to really make it end memorably. We enjoyed the various places to take pictures across the street, and they always have some talented bands playing. I love that the actors enjoy the experience every year, and it's even better that this little gem is available right here in Baton Rouge!

I hadn't been here in years! It is still an awesome, spooky experience. My sister and I went on the…read moreThursday before Halloween. We waited about an hour and 15 min in line. It wasn't too bad and the weather was nice. All of the rooms were very spooky and I got a lot of good scares. Thankfully we weren't grouped with any belligerent people (there was more than a few in line). We had a great experience. I found some house keys in the haunted house and security was very helpful with receiving them after I exited. Love this place

I'll be super honest, I've only bowled here a few times. My son had a birthday party or two here,…read more For those on a budget and don't go to church Sunday mornings are best before noon where lane and shoe rentals are cheap. Bowling just 2 games with 3 people is easily 2 hours. I see birthday parties here, and crowds of college kids many of whom are not from the area. They do lights out with moving lights and music videos over the lanes throughout the day and on weekends. They also have a pretty well stocked arcade area with a ticket generator and a prize counter. I have friends that I meet here once a week at the bar and we all converse about similar topics as Barfly's of all ages. The bartenders are really nice. If you come here you will see 1 person doing the work of 2 or 3 running back and forth servicing pitches, mixing up simple and complex cocktails, while earning their well deserved tips. There is a another smaller bar at the other end of the building serving just beer and wine. Order food at the well stocked snack bar (you'd be amazed at whats on their menu) and have it delivered to the bar or your lane. There are mobile order takers roaming around too. My friends order the pizza while I order the fries, hot wings and even the grilled cheese is good. The people behind the counter at the snack bar are really nice. remember to complement them so you get a big smile back. In a pinch when looking for a place to get hot-wings and i don't feel like wing-stop, I'll come here instead. Fun fact for anyone new to the city and referring to this place to your friends that have been here all their lives, When I refer to this place as All-Star folks look at me weird and then I say "Don Carters" and then they're like, why didn't you say so in the first place! Not being from here I wouldn't have known that. Now you can preted to be from here by referring to it as it's former name. Most evenings there's a city police cruiser out front and an office patrolling the lobby and lanes. I've never seen any trouble here even on the busiest of nights when it switches from league to college night ($5 pitchers for the cheap beer). I've been here when all lanes were full and there was an hour wait for people to bowl. The bar is nice place to hang out and people watch, converse with the staff as this appears to be their safe haven during all the chaos. Interestingly, the DJ is a computer. The system is on auto-pilot from open to close. The mechanical systems that run the lanes are maintained by a couple of dedicated technicians that are constantly correcting issues and working to make sure people have a good time. The decor in the place is as one would say "charming in it's own way". The carpet needs replacing, it still reaks of old smoke when they used to allow smoking there years ago. The decor in the bar is 70's brown panelling, although I understand it was recently renovated that way?? (hire a interior decorator guys). There is a mini-golf course attached to it that I've taken my son and his friends to a few times, and there's a snow-ball place that is now owned by the bowling alley and runs it during the warmer months on the edge of the parking lot. All in all it's a local place. Despite competition moving in at the mall, I don't think Don Carter's will be going anywhere anytime soon, and even if they don't renovate it will have that "Big Lebowski" charm to it to all that go to visit.

The person answering the phone didn't know the answer to the question, so she took my name and number and said she would have the manager call when they came in that evening. Didn't hear from the manager or anyone else. We took a chance, drove 35 minutes, arriving at 9:00: the whole family (4 cars). Walked up to the front counter and was told they were closed to the public for a special event. I told the person that I called yesterday and she said "And...". And they said nothing about being closed to the public. No apology, no regret, nothing. We were all looking forward to a fun morning on Mother's Day. Instead we wasted a bunch of gas and will not be returning to one of the few places that a family can go have some affordable fun. Is it so hard to keep a website updated or make sure employees know about special events? Either of which could have saved the wasted morning and gas. What a disappointment!!

The lobby is small but they had a few concessions including cups of wine, popcorn, candy, chips, and soda. The women's bathroom was clean and stocked with free toiletries (pads, tampons, etc). The seating was easy to find. The chairs are labeled with seat number on the back which makes it easy to find your chosen ticket seat. The lighting and sound was good. I really enjoyed and would attend again.

Very similar to the White Light Night Event (during the holiday season), it's free and something for the whole family to come out and enjoy. If you want to try to hit up the neighborhood from end to end, you may have to start as soon as they get going, map out all the businesses you are going to hit (with the help of the Yelp bookmarking feature) and time everything precisely. There is a lot to see, a lot to explore and so many awesome folks to meet. Tonight I met many influential people in the community including Mr. Mayor himself, Kip Holden, who is always a pleasure to run into. Don't forget to ride the shuttles to help you get from point A to point B. I know there are always a bunch of events happening in Baton Rouge now, but this is definitely one not to miss. I look forward to next year!

Seating was limited in person due to social distancing requirements, however, there was a virtual experience option. I will definitely return next year if available.

We especially enjoyed the dance room, the arts room, the vet office, and the grocery store. So many fun opportunities for learning and only $15 per person - a great way to spend hours for very little money. Also appreciate that they don't let in adults who are not accompanying children - a nice safety check! Everything was clean, fresh, and the staff were all so friendly! Definitely recommend to anyone w young children!

This is quite easily the best children's museum that I have ever been to, hands-down. There are so…read moremany different areas for kids to explore. There are activities on the first and second floor. There are things to do and see and get dirty and get all hands on, both inside and outside. The staff are so friendly. The ones who are working in certain hands on areas are very good about maintaining clean working environments not just for themselves, but for the children as well. You have everything from stem learning areas to the artist garden, and the pelican pottery area. There is an area where kids learn about bubbles and the Girl Scouts had an event today where they were learning about the solar system. There is just so much for kids to see and do here. Admission is $15 but I can tell you, it is worth absolutely every penny. If I lived any closer, I would easily pay the $100 for the membership. That would be entirely worth it. There is this one structure that looks like a bunch of piled up both open and closed books. It is actually a climbing structure for the kids. It extends from the base floor all the way up to the second floor, which is the main level. It is quite a sight to see your child hook their head up from the structure up and over the guard rails on the second floor. The kids here were so friendly. They were very friendly and no one was pushy. The parents are also allowed to climb on the structure. That was pretty cool. I don't know about you, but I don't trust my knees. I would rather not slide or fall off anything that I really shouldn't have had any business climbing up all over on anyway. We met some really great people here. We had such an amazing & lovely time here!
