Monroe overview 

One of the most peaceful and historic attractions in Monroe is the Biedenharn Museum & Gardens. This attraction is based in Biedenharn’s historic home, built in 1913, and both the elegant gardens and the fascinating exhibits are well worth a visit as they provide a real insight into Monroe’s past. The Aviation Museum is a great place to visit, especially if you are interested in seeing some exciting vintage aircraft. Monroe is also home to a zoo: the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo. This Zoo is a lovely place to go as a family, as there are plenty of activities tailored to younger visitors as well as having scenic routes to walk, places to eat, and picnic areas as well. Here you can meet animals and birds native to the Monroe region as well as some animals from all over the world.

Getting from the Airport to the City

Monroe International Airport (MLU) is located a short drive from Monroe town centre.
