Lefleur's Bluff State Park borders Fondren on its southeast side. This large park is home to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science and the Mississippi Children's Museum.

Fondren's downtown historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. From 1855 until 1935, it was the location of the Mississippi Lunatic Asylum. Back then, the town was known as 'Sylum Heights. In 1935, most of the asylum was torn down and the name was changed to reflect that of the town founder, Richard Fondren. Fondren is considered Jackson's oldest suburban business district.
