Things to do Nearby

There are many things to do in the area if you are looking for some adventure or just a change of pace during your stay.  We are just an hour from New Orleans and the French Quarter, and an hour to the Gulf Coast beaches and casinos.  Below are a few links to some more local attractions

The Crosby Arboretum
The Crosby Arboretum is dedicated to educating the public about their environment. This mission is carried out by preserving, protecting, and displaying plants native to the Pearl River Drainage Basin ecosystem, providing environmental and botanical research opportunities, and offering cultural, scientific, and recreational programs. The Arboretum displays three basic habitats found in this ecosystem. They are a Savanna exhibit, a Woodland exhibit, and an Aquatic exhibit. Both drastic and subtle changes in landscape patterns can be observed within each exhibit. In addition to the 104-acre interpretive site, the Arboretum also collectively maintains 700 acres of off-site natural areas that are preserved for scientific study.

INFINITY Science Center is a non-profit science museum dedicated to providing our guests with a quality, fun, and fascinating learning experience.
INFINITY also is host to the NASA Stennis Visitor Center. INFINITY offers a blend of space, Earth science, engineering and technology content, spiced with innovative programming.
