New Orleans City Park - part of the 100+ things to do

 Once known as Allard Plantation, New Orleans City Park was acquired in 1854 making it one of the oldest City parks in the country.  The park has the largest collection of mature live oaks in the world with some of the oldest being over 600 years old.
Home to the New Orleans Museum of Art, Botanical Gardens, Storyland (amusement park) and many recreation areas including 3 golf courses and driving range, ball fields and boating on Bayou St. John.  Bring a picnic basket and make a day of it.

Located in the heart of NOLA, City Park is about 38 miles from Woodridge Bed and Breakfast.  For more about the park visit their website: neworleanscitypark.com   For more things to do around Woodridge see our blog or view our Things to Do page on our website.

Anything is possible in NOLA

New Orleans is a stage, literally.  New Orleans has gained several nicknames through the years due to the films shot on our streets, like the BIG EASY but recently it has gained a new name that resembles the true picture: Hollywood South.  On any given day there will be something being filmed, and given it's desire many celebrities have decided to call New Orleans home, or at least part time home so you may catch a famous celebrity walking the streets or even a great artist singing on the corner.Caught on film is one such performance - an impromptu by Lenny Kravitz who happened to hear a school choir singing one of his songs while he was sitting in his courtyard...  Enjoy!

Mississippi Gulf Coast - Where's the BEACH

More 100+ things to do while visiting Woodridge -
Where's the beach?  Does New Orleans have a beach?  We are near the coast and many think that New Orleans sits on the Gulf but it is not the case.  They do have the lake front but officially no swimming allowed at Pontchartrain beach.  The good news is that the Mississippi Gulf Coast is just a short drive from Woodridge so you can make day trips to both the beach and New Orleans without packing your bag!

The closest beach is at Bay St. Louis but there is an aprox 30 mile span of beach from there through Ocean Springs so if one area is just too crowded or commercialized, just drive a bit and you should find some areas more to your liking.  Lots of parking right off the hwy, more parking near areas with public restrooms.

Discover why Woodridge Bed and Breakfast is the BETTER WAY TO STAY

 For many years of traveling we just chose a place to rest our heads, did not give it much thought - location and a chain name was about it.  Then we booked a B&B, our traveling style was changed for ever, and eventually so was our career.   B&B's are like a box of fine chocolates, each one with its own unique flavor. 

A Woodridge Welcome starts as you walk up our path.

Meander through our breathtaking gardens

Take in the morning bird song with a cuppa Joe
 or an evening wine with good company.

Restful Sleep in comfort.

Refresh with a REAL Breakfast,  
served to you with a smile.

Today's B&B's will quickly put to rest the myths of old.  No longer are they like staying at Grandma's in the spare room.  You should take pleasure in every aspect of your trip, not just the sites.  A B&B offers a full experience of the area.  Innkeepers take pride in what their region has to offer and will be happy to share ideas of what NOT to miss while visiting.   A word of warning, once you reach your B&B, some find it hard to break away, B&B's are habit forming.
