Family Fun
Things the whole family will enjoy
I was born in Hattiesburg. And it has always been a wonderful place for families and children. One of the most adorable places to take your children is to the Hattiesburg zoo. For a town of only about 50,000 people, Hattiesburg is one of the few communities that has a full scaled and relatively large community Zoo. You will love it and don’t forget to take a train ride!

I don’t eat out a lot. But when I do, this is one of my favorite restaurants in Hattiesburg. They have the best shrimp and cheese grits on the planet!

Sightseeing
If you like fishing, this is a great place to go. Sometimes you will find people boating and you may not catch a whole lot of fish but the scenery is gorgeous and it’s actually really nice just to walk around the park.
