Between the rustic barn and that breathtaking 5th-floor observatory, you get a view of the Mississippi River that feels so authentically Louisiana. Watching the barges go by on the levee is a total dream. Beyond the views, the facility is spotless and clearly well-loved by the staff. It's incredibly spacious, especially the bottom floor it is an old garage turned into a cool, air-conditioned outdoor space. The team here is so welcoming and helpful, too. Even though I'm not from St. Bernard Parish, I'm already looking for an excuse to come back. My kids are going to love this scenery!

The part of the road it's on is lined with big, beautiful trees which almost perfectly obstruct your view so that you can't see the traffic in either direction when you're trying to leave. I certainly don't want them to cut the trees down, but it's a dangerous situation. You have to remember to stop awkwardly far back so that you have enough of an angle to see through the trees.

The overall vibe of the venue was romantic without being over the top just beautiful and perfectly done. The drinks and open bar were great, but the food was truly a highlight. Everything was made fresh right in front of us, and it was absolutely delicious easily rivaling some of the best local restaurants. I've been wanting to visit Paradigm Gardens for their concert nights, and after experiencing this event, it's definitely going on my calendar!

It was very interesting that certain alligators have names and were easily spotted by the captain. We also saw raccoons during our tour that were close to the water but not too close so the alligators couldn't go after them. My wife and I highly recommend this tour if you're interested in the river and seeing alligators up close but safely away.

They also host other events like- a berry bash, summer camp, farmer trade day, pancakes and pjs, and ties and tiaras. I visited for Halloween in 2018 when my son was about 10 months old and had a great day! They had a pumpkin patch, face painting, pumpkin carving, a costume contest, a corn maze, a petting zoo, a jumping area for the older kids, and so much more to see! Then staff were friendly and there was plenty of parking. They also have an elegant space for weddings/receptions. It is truly an enjoyable experience for the entire family.

When we got there, there was plenty of parking and very easy to find (thanks to signs along the way). Everything was organized from the get go. Several other schools were there, but they had plenty of workers to keep things running smoothly. I wanted to share their mission statement I found on the website because I agree they are doing this: "Mission Statement To provide an educational, "hands on" learning adventure for families and organizations of all ages. To spread the love of the land and animals to all our guests both big and small, and instill the importance of keeping the American Agricultural values alive. To provide a professional, clean environment with emphasis on safety and dignity for both our guests and our animals." Liuzza was definitely hands on and educational. I especially loved all the fun facts signs around, and in general the setup was simple with chalkboard and burlap but so cute and creative. Definitely knew we were at a farm, but it was just more cute than rough and rigid. The animals seemed happy, the strawberries were delicious and plentiful for the picking! I loved the bus tour and mule-drawn trailer ride but could have honestly loved if they had told us more about the land and the history. Such a beautiful and well kept up place though! I was so surprised to see that they do weddings here! A beautiful outdoor area was set up for a wedding and there's the most precious, little chapel! Definitely a romantic setting for a wedding!! I would just love to be a guest for one here! I hope to be able to return on the open to the public days or even a special occasion like their Easter egg hunt. We were there for probably only 3 hours but definitely could have stayed longer. We fed goats, saw a zebra eating among all the horses, saw cows, an alpaca, a sheep, geese, but we managed to miss the pigs and bunnies. Must go back for those! The kids went crazy over the awesome slide built into a hill and the big jumpy thing (don't know what those are called lol). We definitely must return and so should you!!

I find this is key because that can change drastically from week to week. The staffers are also great. I was questioning some red okra that they had for sale and the staffer just pulled up on her phone some pictures from when she cooked the okra. She was right that they were good and tasty in spite the weird (to me) color.
