Need a gift for Dad before Sunday? Shop local for Father’s Day gifts in Baton Rouge

BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — Father’s Day is quickly approaching. If you have not found the perfect gift for dad, parenting resource group Red Stick Mom has a few local ideas in Baton Rouge to help.

Brittany Tully said, “Dad loves to grill, but how about if Dad can do more chilling with City Pork restaurants on Highland and Jefferson? Brunch, dinner, or even take-out make it easy on Dad and get him off his feet. For takeout, you can get two meats, two sides for only $39, feeds four.”

For dads who need to relax and need a little pampering, Tully suggests booking a haircut at The Parker Barber and spoiling him with their products at their store on Government Street.

BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo is another popular location. “Families can see animals from all over the world here locally, enjoy the playground, and even see the newest giraffe, Reign, at the zoo,” said Tully.

If you want a fun experience where the family can stay cool, there are other low-cost and free options in the area.

“You can’t forget splash pads. There are several all over the Baton Rouge area. They are all free and stay open until 8 in the evenings. To name a few, Greenwood Community Park, North Sherwood Park, the park near LSU and Highland Road Park,” said Tully.
