It offers so many things to see and learn in one place. The set-up of genuine Acadian-styled buildings is hard to find anywhere else and complements the setting. There is a museum, slave quarters, a large kitchen garden, cajun-styled, period gardens designed by Steele Burden and sculpture, some quite unusual like the dueling stags mounted on an outside chimney. There are paths to wander through and places to picnic with just a $3 cover charge. The location is very accessible, just off I-10 in Baton Rouge.

Lovely place for viewing nature in the heart of Baton Rouge with various specimen gardens, herb garden, childrens garden, small playground with natural elements (across from childrens garden), meeting rooms and spaces, hiking trails, rose garden, and more. A true treasure in the city.

Wonderful gardens with a nice trail system as well. Its very relaxing and they hold nice events like the orchid show which had a wonderful array of flowers on display and for sale. I love visiting these gardens.

It consists of Rural Life Museum, a small garden, LSU botanical garden and Burden garden itself. Rural Life Museum is the best of all. Walking trails are ok. Best for Saturday morning walk.

Step back in time to when Louisiana was in its infancy. They have thousands of pieces, tons of old house drawn carriages, actual rural houses and more

Very nice museum of farm life in the 19th century. Tucked away in the center of Baton Rouge LA. Unknown to many locals and most tourists.

Beautiful park. The flowers make me smile. The museum has long horn cows and lots of old farm equipment. Its very educational.

Jeffrey Vetsch

Amazing collection of plantation artifacts, including buildings. Nice educational pieces explaining slave trade and life.

Enjoyed our visit. Although, some of the information seems slightly whitewashed. I found myself doing some fact checking.

Just watched the documentary on LPB

Great wedding venue. Very open and plenty of room for large crowds. Perfect layout for an outdoor wedding.
