Looking for something fun to do in Bossier City this weekend? Whether you're a local looking to mix things up or you're visiting from Shreveport, Haughton, Benton, or somewhere farther out, Bossier has more going on than most people realize. Here's a roundup of genuinely worthwhile options — starting with one right on West 2nd Street.
What's There to Do in Bossier City on a Weekend?
Bossier City's entertainment scene has grown significantly in recent years, and the options have gotten a lot more interesting than just the casino strip. You can find everything from outdoor activities along the river to newer entertainment venues that have brought a different kind of energy to the area.
For groups looking to do something active and social, Chasing Aces Golf Course at 1111 W 2nd St, Bossier City, LA 71111 is one of the most versatile spots in the market. It's not a traditional golf course — it's a full golf entertainment venue with radar-tracked swing bays, an outdoor Par-3 course, a two-course putting zone, Home Run Dugout batting bays, and a full food and drink menu. You can walk in on a Friday evening or Saturday afternoon and have a genuinely great time whether you've ever held a golf club or not. Give us a call at 318-735-1570 to check availability.
Our Swing Bays are perfect for any group — from date nights to birthday hangouts to spontaneous plans with friends from across the Shreveport-Bossier area.
Where Can Families Go for Fun in Bossier City?
Bossier City has solid family-friendly options, especially if you want something that works for a range of ages. The putting zone at Chasing Aces is a crowd-pleaser for families with kids old enough to swing a putter — the two distinct layouts keep it fresh, and the relaxed walk-in format means you don't need to plan far ahead. Just show up and play.
The Barksdale Air Force Base Heritage Museum is a free stop worth checking out for families interested in military history. The Bossier Civic Center hosts periodic family events, and the Northwest Louisiana War Memorial at Jimmie Davis Park is a peaceful outdoor space that's easy to combine with a picnic or a walk along the Red River.
For families who want a more structured activity with great food and entertainment built in, Chasing Aces is hard to beat. Kids get excited about the swing bay technology — watching ball speed and trajectory on a big screen never gets old, no matter how many times you see it.
What About Date Night Options in Bossier City?
Bossier City actually has some strong options for date nights that go beyond dinner. The putting zone at Chasing Aces is a popular choice for couples — it's low-pressure, competitive enough to be fun, and easy to stretch into an evening with food and drinks between holes. The batting bays add an unexpected twist for couples who want to try something different.
The Red River waterfront on the Shreveport side is a nice backdrop for an evening walk before or after dinner. The Boardwalk area in Bossier has dining and shopping within easy walking distance. Combine that with a stop at Chasing Aces and you've got a full evening without driving all over town.
Local Tip: Why Bossier City Beats a Drive to Shreveport for Weekend Plans
A lot of people default to Shreveport for weekend plans, but Bossier City has been adding options quietly and consistently. For the communities that sit between the two cities — or even residents of Minden, Stonewall, and Haughton who are making a day of it — Bossier is often the easier, less congested choice. Parking is more accessible, the pace is a little more relaxed, and venues like Chasing Aces give you activity, food, and drinks all in one stop. Check out our Putting Zone if you want a perfect low-commitment first activity to get the evening started right.
