The Ball Park is a great place to go for batting cages and mini-golf. They are inexpensive! The mini-golf course was well kept, and took us about an hour and ½ to do a game with 3 people. The staff are friendly and helpful. I like that even though they are on Main St, with plenty of cars passing, you can play a game of mini-golf and not really notice the noise of the traffic.

My kids love to go to the movies, but with three kids, the big cinema down the road is out of the question.
We always go to the Southland cinema where the admission is under 2 bucks and the kids can get popcorn, candy and a soda for a good price.
The drawbacks is that the place is usually pretty unkept in that the bathrooms were rather dirty last time we went and trash was all over the chairs. If one can look beyond apprearances and are out for the best deal for the money I highly recommend this place.

Held on the Sleca office grounds, located on coteau road right across from slumberger's in Houma, this festival has something for everyone.
This year it will be from 10/21 10-4pm and will feature over 200 craft and food booths, most of which are residents of the south Louisiana area. Admission is always free to this show and there's plenty of free ample parking. The show also is offering free entertainment through the day.
The farmer's market offers a wide variety of fall vegetables for sale, including but not limited to pumpkins of all varieties, shapes, and sizes.
Some of the different types of crafts offered are woodwork, candles, embroidered items, ceramics, and much more items to vast to mention. Some of these items are holiday themes, some aren't so this is the perfect place to get the last of those Halloween items and get a jump start on Christmas shopping.

Scrap shack has all the necessary sheets and supplies needed to update, but how cute would it be if you took one of the extensive lines of paper and updated your child's scrapbook for halloween. The paper is a bit more expensive than Michel's, but the theme selection is more extensive.
The other themes that I noticed were disney,sports, dancing, school, and baby, and that's just what I happened to notice.
Get you Halloween scrap sheets before time and supply runs out,
peace,

The Palace Theater in Houma is a great place to catch a movie. The theater is clean and the screens are clear. There are always many movies playing and the employees are very nice. The concessions are not cheap, but definitely not the most expensive out there. For a great time, go to the Palace.

I needed to purchase some music items for my daughter's music class so the teacher sent me here. All the items that I purchased (kazoo, bells, marracas) were just a few bucks. But they also carried the larger music equipment as well as sheet music. I enjoyed myself wandering through the store and my daughter loved it, she felt like a little musician. The clerks are very helpful.

Now within the last four or five years, pumpkin patches are popping up all over the area and here's one of the newer ones, but don't let thier newness have an affect on how great this one can be.
We went last year as family, we didn't purchase a pumpkin because we already had bought our pumpkin at another location, but we took the kids for the fun of it, kinda like looking for something to do for the day.
They are open every saturday during the month of October from 10-5 at the St Matthew's Episcopal School grounds. They are located in downtown Houma on Barrow St. cattecorner from the old Dupont's.
If i remember correctly last year they offered face painting, cake walks, hoola hops contests for prizes, apple bobbing, photos, story telling, games, a boutique full of great items for the season, and of course many pumpkins. Big ones, little ones, odd shaped ones, can all be found here.
I probably didn't list half of the stuff they have to do, but I can't remember any thing else, just take my word for it and get there, it's fun to be had for the whole family.

The little girl I used to babysit attended this dance studio for a few years. The little girl always loved going to "Ms.Denise" and she always came home with a ton of stories to tell.
The mother of the little girl, Betti, loved the rates of the classes as well as the fact that the studio is located right near her home, no running across town in rush hour traffic.
The dance recitals are too cute, absolutely adorable and I highly recommend this studio. Denise took time with each student making sure they knew the steps before she went onto something new. She also assigned homework for the students to practice. For some reason the child, Tracy, hated to do her school homework, but loved to do Ms. Denise's homework.
I passed in front of the studio the other day and they are celebrating thier 20th anniversary, that should tell the parents something about the quality of the teaching the children are recieving.
peace,

Brushworks is one of Houma's great instructional centers. The great thing about Brushworks is that they include children, in fact they offer classes and camps including the kids in all activities.
Brushworks offers general art classes, my kid brother attends these, the classes are geared towards 5-13 year olds and he loves em.
They also offer camps for preschool children, ages 3-4, imagine teaching that many kids art at one time, they got the patience.
The art studies that Brushworks are teaching include painting, sculpture, art history, photography (adults only, ages 15 and up), desing, printmaking, and drawing, it seems like a missed several things but for the life of me I can't remember.
They are also now teaching guitar lessons ages 10 and up. They offer lessons in electric, bass, and acoustic guitars.
The prices are reasonable for what the child is being taught and my brother feels as though he has accomplished something since he's unable to play sports. It's this kind of class that takes in all comers, now matter the physical disablities.
Oh yeah, they are located at 1463 St Charles St in Houma, right there in the Summerfield Plaza, if you are ever in Houma, stop in and you will be amazed.

We attended a birthday party here and the kids had a blast! The skating rink is big and we had no problem with the little ones skating with older children. Even if you’ve never skated before, you will have a great time, and they play pretty good music to get you going. There are traditional roller skate as well as roller blades available for rental and they are quite inexpensive. Go here for a great afternoon!
