Hammond Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Our Take on Hammond, Louisiana


A Hammond vacation takes you to the crossroads of the South as well as Interstate 12 and Interstate 55: Hammond is the intellectual, cultural and business center of South Tangipahoa Parish. The home of Southeastern Louisiana University and Strawberry Stadium, Hammond offers family friendly and kid friendly activities. Stroll past the university’s moss-covered oaks and state-of-the-art residential facilities and the Columbia Theatre for the Performing arts.

The  kid friendly Kliebert's Turtle & Alligator Tours offers a view of thousands of gators and turtles, as well as a bird sanctuary with nesting egrets and herons. Afterwards, the kids can enjoy two large downtown parks, or visiting Zemurray Park’s Olympic-size swimming pool, tennis courts, and baseball diamonds. Hammond’s Skate Park is a 10,000-square foot “oasis” for skateboarders --  free and open to the public.
A few miles from Downtown is the Fun Farm, offering batting cages, mini golf, arcade games, and an indoor play place.

For romantic getaways, consider Michabelle, a Greek Revival estate decorated in authentic French antiques. Stroll among the oaks, azaleas and camellias before enjoying a candlelight dinner. Or stay at the  Landmark Hotel and Conference Center, with modern air-conditioned rooms, pool and health club. Everyone will find something to enjoy in Hammond.
