🎡 Family Fun & Things to Do
The places to actually get out and do something. Family outings, parks, entertainment, festivals and those longtime Kenner spots that give everybody somewhere to go besides another restaurant. 😂
Keep driving down Williams and eventually you run out of road and hit the lake. ❤️ Lake Pontchartrain is one of those places that’s simply part of growing up around Kenner—fresh air, lake views, sunsets, fishing, walking around, or just hanging out b...

Bowlero now, but if you grew up around here, this was Don Carter’s Bowling Alley. 🎳 A longtime Kenner spot for bowling, birthday parties, family outings and hanging out with friends. The name may have changed, but for some of us it will always be “D...

A longtime Kenner favorite right by Esplanade Mall. Copeland’s is one of those places that works for everything from a casual family dinner to Sunday brunch or a little celebration. Big portions, Cajun-Creole flavors, seafood, pasta, and plenty of ri...

🍹 Coffee, Drinks & Sweet Treats
Coffee runs, daiquiris, desserts and all the little stops that don’t necessarily count as a meal…although we may turn them into one anyway.
Yep, Kenner has a French Press too. ☕ One of my favorite local coffeehouse brands for coffee, breakfast, pastries and an easy stop when you’re out running around. And I’ll say it again: sign up for the rewards program! The points add up FAST, so if y...

⚜️ Local Landmarks & Kenner Memories
Some places are worth including because of what they mean, not because they’re tourist attractions. Kenner history, familiar sights and the places tied to growing up here. These are the kind of landmarks that make sense when you know the story.
You know you’re in Kenner—or “Kennah, bruh,” depending on who’s saying it. Kenner City Hall is one of those familiar local landmarks that’s simply part of the city landscape. Not exactly a tourist attraction, but this list isn’t just for tourists. It...
City of Kenner
Two pieces of Kenner history in one spot. I grew up calling it “the boxers at the end of Williams.” La Salle landed near an Indigenous village here in 1682 and claimed the territory for King Louis XIV of France. Then in 1870, Jem Mace and Tom Allen fought here in what’s recognized locally as the first World Heavyweight Championship prizefight. The ...
