Come check out the fun activities in Indiana!
Indiana is super close to our home, so we’ve been here many times. We’ve been to Indianapolis a few times, and it makes for a great weekend. There are also lots of other Indiana activities that are great to check out. Here are some highlights:
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Visiting the Motor Speedway is a super fun experience. I’m not even remotely into racing, but going here was so fun. We booked a tour where you get to take a golf cart around the entire track. They stop at the finish line so you can kiss the bricks – super fun. The museum also is really nicely done with some interactive exhibits as well.
Children’s Museum
We haven’t been here in a few years, because sadly my kids have outgrown it. But – this is one of the best children’s museums in the country! It’s a must visit for families.
Zoo
The Indianapolis Zoo is a really nicely done zoo. It’s fairly small, so easy to knock out during a weekend trip. We combined this with the speedway last time we were there. Lots of good exhibits including touching sting rays.
NBA – Pacers Game
We’ve been to a few NBA games, but the Pacer’s are the closest to us. We’ve gone now twice and both times had a great experience. The atmosphere is fun and they do lots of giveaways during the games. If you stay downtown, you can easily walk to the game as well, with plenty of restaurants close by.
Hall of Champions
The Hall of Champions is a neat museum with a few interactive things for kids. There’s a small gym where kids can play, and a few other VR type games. It’s right near the river in a nice park as well.
Hoosier’s Gym
Visiting the Hoosier’s Gym was a dream for my husband 🙂 It was free to enter and they really enjoyed getting to play on the actual court. You can go into the locker room as well.
Perfect North Ski Area
This is our local ski area. It’s not quite a mountain or anything, but has a lot of nice runs. The tubing here is actually pretty great compared to some other resorts we’ve gone to before.
Clifty Falls
Clifty Falls makes for a great weekend trip. They have a ton of nice trails, good places to eat and the nature is great. We booked a nice airbnb cabin that was right by a small river.
South Bend
Walking around Notre Dame’s campus was a really fun activity while driving through the area. It’s obviously very historic, so it was neat to see some of the famous landmarks in real life.
