BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo is celebrating the USBC Open Championship with a giant four-foot bowling pin and ball inside the giraffe exhibit—at Baton Rouge Airport!

This fun installation honors the tournament, which will bring 60,000+ attendees to Baton Rouge. The city welcomed a record 8.8 million visitors in 2023, generating $1.7 billion in economic impact.

“This celebrates the spirit of the championship while engaging visitors,” says Brittany Tully of the Zoo.

See it for yourself—the display remains at Baton Rouge Airport through mid-August 2025!
