How to Save Money in Shreveport

This riverside city is overflowing with attractions for budget-conscious travelers to enjoy.

• Take a serene, fragrant stroll through the The Gardens of the American Rose Center. At 118 acres, it is the largest park in the country solely dedicated to roses. The paths wind through 20,000 rosebushes and a diverse collection of other plants, as well as sculptures and fountains. For the most colorful experience, visit during the peak bloom seasons—April through June or September through October.
• For art lovers, the R.W. Norton Art Gallery is a must-see. The free museum features an impressive collection of artwork that spans several millennia, surrounded by 40 acres of gorgeous botanical gardens. Then, explore your creative side at Artspace, a hub for culture in downtown Shreveport. The venue regularly hosts art exhibitions, workshops, concerts and craft shows featuring work from local artisans.
