Global Wildlife Center
in Folsom, Globa Wildlife Center is a privately owned nature preserve famous for its safari tours. On your hour-plus guided wagon tour through the 900-acre facility, you’ll find numerous species rarely found outside of zoos in Louisiana. Free-roaming bison, giraffes, elands (a type of antelope native to eastern and southern Africa), zebras and camels are just some of the animals you’ll find on your tour — an unforgettable entertaining and educational experience for both children and adults. Private tours are available as well, which give passengers a more intimate up-close-and-personal experience of the savanna-like environs of Global Wildlife Center.

The Best Places to Eat
Free Washington Parish Fair
In October, when skies are bluer, and the air is crisp with Fall’s first touch, the enthusiastic crowds, larger than ever, once again flow through the front entrance into our beautiful fairgrounds to enjoy the spectacle of the Washington Parish Free Fair.
Since its humble beginning in 1911 in a local livery stable, this county/parish fair has steadily grown bigger and better each successive year. Today, based on attendance records, it is believed to be the largest county free fair in the USA. It is the second oldest Parish Fair in Louisiana.
It is a family fair. They come from all over the country to enjoy the excellent exhibits of cut flowers, homemaking, livestock, and agricultural products. Then there is Old McDonald’s Farm and the activities that never seem to cease on the stage. They come to experience the magic of the Midway and the excitement of the PRO Rodeo, and even to just sit a spell under one of the tall pine trees and enjoy the good food.
