The Historic Artcraft Theatre
Movie theater
Fun & Games
Films from Hollywood's golden age, including kids' classics, in a historic renovated theater.
I absolutely love this theater!
Love to travel down to Franklin for one of my favorite classic movies!

It's always a good time at The Historic Artcraft Theater. Regardless if you are seeing a movie or attending a event. We have enjoyed each classic movie we have seen at the theater. The atmosphere is fun, and the snacks are delicious. The popcorn from a local farm is some of the best you can get at a movie theater. Tripple X (XXX) Root Beer is available from the fountain.
The Historic Artcraft Theater has been maintained and well preserved. It's a great place for family entertainment or for a date.

A fun experience in a beautiful theater presented by people who love their town. The movies are 10+ years old so it is great to see them on the screen again. The pre film activities are fun and it is terrific when they audience joins in on the National Anthem. Can’t get any better.

This is my favorite theater I've been to in years with all the updated junk out there great to see an old style movie theater that doesn't break the bank to goto.

Downtown Franklin is alive with culture and history mingled with a modern touch and great nightlife atmosphere. This is on full display in and around the Artcraft. This is a great restored movie theater you can enjoy watching classic movies at. You can also enjoy easy access walking around this area and taking in all downtown Franklin has to offer.

A local favorite!!!! We love the artcraft! I can’t say enough. Going is an experience and so refreshing. They play “old/ older” movies- are priced extremely reasonably, and are a community nonprofit.
This historic site is beautifully maintained by volunteers and run with community pride. My husband and I do not even hesitate on membership as we cannot imagine Franklin without the Artcraft. A date night here always includes smiles, friendly faces, and AMAZING popcorn! Seriously, though… the locally grown popcorn!! Love going to a movie and not spending an arm and leg. Tix are generally under $5 and your goodies at the concession counter are around $10 for a drink and giant popcorn:)
We love bringing guests to experience this wonderful community staple.

You have to see a movie here at least once in your life! It's fun seeing and being in something historical! They play all sorts of movies: old, new, black and white, children's, scary, funny, Christmas. Make sure to check out their website for upcoming movies and buy tickets ahead of time. They tend to sell out way before viewing day, especially the popular movies. The concessions are a good price, and the popcorn is fantastic!

It was beautiful.very vintage. Freindly service, nice clean bathrooms, well everything was clean and neat. They have a gift shoo with the name and logo on items to buy. Great prices on snacks. The list goes on and on. Was there for 45RPM band which all proceeds went to the Riley Hospital which was great.

Been going to movies at the Artcraft since my daughter was 7 (she's 21 now) - "Princess Bride" last night. Always a warm and happy experience. They set the standard for film buffs of all ages. Prepare to be "mesmerized"!

We had a wonder time at this theater. Staff was warm and welcoming. Popcorn was delicious and better than the big box store theaters.

It's always a good time at the Artcraft. The Franklin Heritage, Inc. has done an amazing job restoring this great old theater. The local popcorn is the best movie popcorn you'll ever have.
Chris Osborne — Google review
Such a great historical icon of Johnson County. Always a good time. They have a great little scene going there every week. Before the movie they have drawings for prizes, longest trip award and prize, a cartoon and then the feature film. They even have triple X root beer on draft! If you haven't been, it's a wonderful escape into the past. Highly recommend this charitable, historical facility.

Nostalgia at its finest! Family friendly environment! The aroma of delicious locally grown popcorn fills the lobby, the volunteers who staff the theatre are so friendly, the pre-show greetings and introductions help develop a camaraderie and made me feel like I could be friends with others there for the vintage movie.
I loved starting with the singing of the National Anthem, the classic cartoon (one can never go wrong with Bugs Bunny) and then the headliner, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
I can’t wait to return!

Very fond of this theatre. Been seeing movies here for well over 15 years and I always have an awesome time. Most recently watched Pretty in Pink here (in 35mm film) on Saturday and it was a fantastic experience! Low prices for tickets and concessions. Outstanding local popcorn and they carry Triple XXX Root Beer, which is an all-time great American soda

Went to this beautiful theater in Franklin for the first time to see The Wizard of Oz on screen, my favorite movie. The staff is wonderfully friendly and funny, the facility beautifully kept up, and the concessions priced perfectly. The ticket prices are inexpensive and the experience is well worth our drive.

The same and better than my last visit in 1985. It's a wonderful real theater experience. The price is awesome. This theater was showcased in Life magazine December 1940 issue "A small town Saturday night".

This is my review of the historical Artcraft Theatre in downtown, Franklin, IN, about 20 minutes away from Greenwood, IN.
The facade/outside of the theatre is gorgeous, with color bright red, white, and yellow lights. They did a wonderful job renovating this older theater and making it look like new. The outside has almost an Indiana State Fair Midway amusement ride-like feel to it, but it is done in a classy and beautiful manner. Also has an old Roaring 20's Broadway feel to it as well.
The inside is bright and colorful, and staffed well with what seems like primarily high school to college kids, with some older adults as well. They even sell clothing merchandise if you are a fan of the Artcraft.
Going inside the movie theater, you feel like you are in the 80's, with the retro looking popsicle lights on the walls and original posters for "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" hanging on the walls. It definitely feels retro inside.
Before the screening of the movie, the general owner/manager of the theatre comes out and talks about shows to come, the turning off of all electronic devices, and other things.
He leaves and they screen a short little comical film from the 30's or 40's that is like Looney Tunes that is silly, and makes one laugh.
Then everyone in the audience is asked to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, as the national anthem is played. A surprising twist, but I have no issue with a little patriotism.
Then the movie you came to see begins. The film quality is not bad, but you can definitely tell it is not high definition, like what you would expect at a movie theater. If I were to compare it to a format, it would be 480p as compared to 720p or 1080p definition.
Movie ticket prices are really cheap- most of the time it is $5 and sometimes $10 for special events. Concessions are VERY reasonable- when I went a medium tub of popcorn was $4 and a large was $6, and you got unlimited refills. So concessions are refreshingly cheap compared to what you would receive at a movie theater.
All and all, I give this place a 9.5/10. The only real improvement they can do is to somehow increase the resolution of some of their films to higher definition. But an outstanding venue to watch old movies, cheap concessions, and accommodations. For the atmosphere, you pay very little. Great place for a cheap date or movie night with someone or a family.
The new outdoor drinking space Black Acre Garden features rotating beers from the brewery as well as small plates, sandwiches, and growlers for guests. The family friendly garden offers a variety of cocktails with spirits made onsite as well as seating on the new deck and a fire pit. Guests are invited to bring or order in food.
First time visiting and it was a delight!
Didn't get to stay too long so didn't get to try too much but we enjoyed what we got!
Hubby got the 1802 and was quite pleased. I got a virgin strawberry slushy and will definitely try it spiked next time!
Comfortable seating options, dog friendly, and the staff were all wonderful!
Definitely eager to go back.

Excellent craft beer selection with unique offerings, served in a lovely outdoor patio-area. We thoroughly enjoyed our beers and sampled a few of the happy-hour food items (steamed buns, and dumplings). We will definitely go back!
The Tiny House Chef — Google review
Beautiful outdoor location. Lots of room for seating. I almost always get the Natural Liberty Pale Lager because it’s amazing but the beers brewed on location are always good. The cocktail slushees are also yummy too. Dog friendly. Loved their food when they had it last year, but don’t seem like they serve food at the moment. Plenty of parking. Their other taproom is just up the road off Washington St though and they have food!

If you've never been to the charming neighborhood of Irvington then you're missing out. If you've never been to Black Acre Brew Garden in Irvington then you're really letting yourself down. This brewery has some of the best beer in this city, and it's beer garden is nestled in (what is this reviewers opinion, because I live here) the best neighborhood in Indy.
A great atmosphere to drink beer inside of a transformed coal yard warehouse, Black Acre offers phenomenal beers, along with cocktails, and delicious barfood. I walk here on my off days to drink beer in their amazing garden area and eat their tacos. Hands down my favorite brewery in Indy. I love this place and it takes all my money. 5/5 I have no regrets.
Jordan Wilson — Google review
Delicious food and wonderful service! I loved the atmosphere which was fun and cozy. It's also dog friendly indoors and outdoors... That's my favorite part of this place!! I wasn't wild about the cocktails, especially for the price, but it was an overall enjoyable experience!

Fun spot for great drinks and food! The nachos were great! Love the open space and I bet it's really cozy at night! Looks like they are maybe building a stage area and seating as well. We will definitely be back!
Erica Mueller — Google review
Love, love ,love the Oasis creating this outdoor garden -all the different seating options, dog area, and greenery. Brews and cocktails(thanks for having cocktail options at a brewery!!) Were delicious. The pork, short ribs and chicken were superbly crafted with flavors that unfolded as you savored each bite. The tacos were good but the canned cheese on the nachos and lack of other toppings besides the delicious meat was a bit of a let down.

Went for a wedding, some guy who looked like a bum was apparently the owner and making certain parties extremely uncomfortable. When we told the wait staff we were informed that he was indeed the owner and there was nothing they could do to stop him. Great venue and good drink but would not go back with him there

Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center
Fairground
Banquet hall
The Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center is a contemporary event site equipped with state-of-the-art amenities for conventions, concerts, fairs, weddings, banquets, and meetings. The facility provides modern facilities that have undergone recent renovations to ensure a pleasant experience. Located outside of downtown, it offers convenient parking options at an affordable price and easy access in and out of the venue. With its smaller size compared to downtown venues, navigating around the arena is effortless.
We had a great time at the Pepsi coliseum. It was 8$ to park but it's super easy in and out so it's totally worth it. Much easier than trying to find parking downtown. The arena is very easy to get to and get around as it's not as big as the venues downtown. Good concessions and all the staff were very pleasant and helpful. We purchased tickets there and that was easy and quick. I had to make some last minute changes to our tickets and the very nice ticketing agent was extremely helpful in getting the changes done. The facility was built in 1939 but the entire venue has been updated just a few years ago so everything is nice and modern. I will go back for sure.

This was my first time to Fairgrounds. Went there for the Fair. I went on $2 dollar Tuesday. First, you may need to ask the food vendors for the 2 dollar Tuesday sample because not everyone has a sign in their place of business. The food I had was a Gyro. It was ten dollars but not worth ten dollars. It was good, but not good enough for the price. The Lemonade shake up I had was pretty good. It wasn't too sweet or too sour... Just right. $2.00 refills.
I also had a pulled pork sandwich. It was hot but the portion was small and not worth 6 dollars. The best thing I had was a pretzel at the fair. I couldn't believe how good it was. I'm not much of a pretzel fan but my friend convinced me to try it. I was blown away by how soft and great tasting it was. It was a huge pretzel and all for 5 dollars. Something I would recommend trying.
The rides are expensive. Yes, on 2 dollar Tuesday you can get some deals on the rides, but not all have this. I rode the Lift and it was $6.00 a person. There are a lot of variety when it comes to the rides. There are plenty of rides for the young kids too.
The games were expensive and the prizes were mediocre at best. I've seen better stuffed animals to win at Indiana Beach and local carnivals. The grounds were kept up well. So were the bathrooms. Definitely a clean place.
When I first arrived at the fair there were many people guiding cars where to park. It was organized, but I had hard time finding the exit to leave the Fairgrounds. It was fairly dark in the parking lot and it made seeing things hard. There wasn't any signs I saw (maybe I didn't see em cause of the lack of light) to show you how to get out and I ended up asking someone to show me how to leave.
Overall, I liked the fair but prepared to bring money and lots of it if you have a family. There are things you can do for free inside the buildings, seeing the animals, watching a show, such as Sixteen Candles but I've seen local fairs such as the Lake and Porter County fairs up in Northwest Indiana have just as good of a fair, if not better in some aspects and not as expensive.

Very well kept up. Lots of free activities for kids. Sky lift is way too expensive. More people could enjoy it and they would make more money if they would make the skylift more affordable.

Staff friendly upon arrival entering grounds, directing us to park. (Hubby & I there for the "Band Competition Day). Once parked near "bandstand bleachers vicinity, yes we did walk a little, but to be expected at an arena type place.... Nbd really... Upon entering area (racetrack bleachers), we walked through metal detectors. Were "wanted" as expected, and were easily directed to walk downstairs (underground) to get across track to Bleacher's area. Had a fabulous time❤

Saturday was a great day for a Fair. My family and I had a ball there. It was worth the miles to get there. The tractor team was a real delight,getting everyone to there stop. We especially enjoyed the food and the amazing staff that made that day so amazing. Thank you for making our day. Please enjoy the pics.
Our food choices: Mac and cheese and barbecue, Bratchos( nachos covered with brats),deep fried corn, and yes King's Sweet Tea station 6$ a cup great deal.

It was awesome. I haven't been to the state fair since the 90's it was really cool. The food was a bit expensive but definitely delicious and My children had a blast! we were only there for one day so we did not get the chance to see and do everything that we wanted. definitely take a decent amount of money if you plan on being there all day/multiple days.

I’m not a fan of Indiana Live Casino. It’s closer than my preferred casino (French Lick Hotel & Casino) but my husband enjoys going once a year and I never enjoy myself. Three New Year Eves in a row and every year the band has been terrible, the food / drinks are over priced and have very little alcohol in them…I am NEVER going back. I’ve spent thousands at this casino whereas at French Lick, where I’ve stayed over a dozen times, I’ve lost but I’ve also won. The service is better. The drinks are better. The atmosphere is incredible and the facility itself is absolutely gorgeous.

I went early and it was not crowded. The staff members were friendly. There was a lot of laughter at the roulette table. There were several sections of slot machines. The music was good and people were happy and singing. I also noticed a seafood restaurant and a bar & grill inside. I will review them later. It is a Cesar owned casino.

Love the new poker room. They are a little short staffed for servers and some of the dealers don't quite understand all of the rules yet. Overall it was a really good experience and I am planning to visit this poker room multiple times a week.
Update: Dealers improved dramatically. There is the occasional issue but that is common everywhere. They could still use more servers in the poker room. I frequent this establishment at least 3 times a week and plan to continue. Thanks to the friendly poker room staff.

You lose often and sometimes, you win some. It's all in the game and part of gambling. The atmosphere is great. Good housekeeping, overall cleanliness is awesome considering the number of people that frequent the establishment daily. The complimentary coffee and fountain drinks are almost always full, and the staff is very polite and friendly.
The rewards have slacked up a bit, unless you spend tons of money and in doing that, the casino will always take in far more than they payout, its a business though and they wouldn't be in business if they didn't.
I definitely recommend the Horseshoe, if for nothing other than the casino experience...

May have caught it on a particularly slow day, but on my visit, I would not give it more than three stars.
First, the highlights: Spacious, many new and fan-favorite slots, high-end decor, and several eateries with menus to satisfy most all tastes.
The venue is part of the Ceasar's Rewards realm, and makes it well known throughout the advertising you'll see around most every turn.
However, visiting on a Tuesday night was rather lack-luster, with only one restaurant open and about 10% - 20% of the slot games shut down, or otherwise off-line.
Not a fan of indoor smoking, so that's a one-star deduction from me. There was even a guy with a cigarette in the "no smoking" area - so obviously no enforcement, which is a problem if you don't care for the smell of cigarette smoke or have the lung capacity to tolerate it.
Signing in as a new member, and only being "rewarded" with $5.00 of free play didn't really entice me to put up a good review. Sure, I'm grateful they offered anything at all, but I've been to much smaller venues offering at least $10.00 or more. Seemed chincy.
I was also surprised to find you (or at least myself) are unable to cash out tickets for under a dollar in value with the auto-teller machines. I wanted to combine tickets to push the total amount to the next dollar level, but the auto-teller refused to cooperate, and indicated a visit to the cashier was required. Of course, there was a line and only two cashiers working, so that was extra time just standing around in the cigarette smoke.
The slots I did play were particularly stingy, and I dropped $50.00 with little to no return - but that happens anywhere (and seemingly moreso recently). Looking at other players while walking around, I did not witness much success for them either.
Like I said, may have been just an off-night, and possibly better on a weekend, or when a horserace event is happening. All I'll say is this evening was a rather uninspiring experience making me question if I'd care to return. Hopefully you'll have a better time. That's why it's called "gambling."

I've been to at least 6 or 7 casinos in Indiana and this one is definitely in the top two. Has a huge selection of slots and also has electronic roulette, electronic blackjack, huge amount of table games so quite the variety. Place is pretty big too and has a covered garage. My wife and I hit the Maxi Jackpot for $850 on one of the slots with only an .88 cent bet so our first experience there was definitely amazing haha. Enjoy and good luck to you guys!

I can only comment on racetrack/clubhouse (did not use casino). A superb racing destination. The tracks (turf and dirt) are well maintained by a professional maintenance crew. Great equine veterinarian services in cooperation with U of Purdue located nearby. Good food on menu at the clubhouse. If you're into horse racing.... this is a great venue!

Amazing time! Best nights to go are Sunday-Thursday since Friday/Saturday is too busy and you can’t use any machine you want when you want to use it. Need to go with a little spending money, definitely $200+ to really win enough to take home. Sign up for the rewards and have fun! It’s only 20 mins from my house and my friends and I love it as a quick little mini vacation for the evening. Service is always on point and the casino is always clean.

Of course, there was a line and only two cashiers working, so that was extra time just standing around in the cigarette smoke.
The slots I did play were particularly stingy, and I dropped $50.00 with little to no return - but that happens anywhere (and seemingly moreso recently). Looking at other players while walking around, I did not witness much success for them either.
Like I said, may have been just an off-night, and possibly better on a weekend, or when a horserace event is happening. All I'll say is this evening was a rather uninspiring experience making me question if I'd care to return. Hopefully you'll have a better time. That's why it's called "gambling."

I've been to at least 6 or 7 casinos in Indiana and this one is definitely in the top two. Has a huge selection of slots and also has electronic roulette, electronic blackjack, huge amount of table games so quite the variety. Place is pretty big too and has a covered garage. My wife and I hit the Maxi Jackpot for $850 on one of the slots with only an .88 cent bet so our first experience there was definitely amazing haha. Enjoy and good luck to you guys!

I don't like this place one bit. You couldn't win a thing if u even begged. I refuse to go to a casino the first time and loose everything so quick. I didn't see one person win anything and there wasn't that many people at that!!! Good riddance.

I can only comment on racetrack/clubhouse (did not use casino). A superb racing destination. The tracks (turf and dirt) are well maintained by a professional maintenance crew. Great equine veterinarian services in cooperation with U of Purdue located nearby. Good food on menu at the clubhouse. If you're into horse racing.... this is a great venue!

Amazing time! Best nights to go are Sunday-Thursday since Friday/Saturday is too busy and you can’t use any machine you want when you want to use it. Need to go with a little spending money, definitely $200+ to really win enough to take home. Sign up for the rewards and have fun! It’s only 20 mins from my house and my friends and I love it as a quick little mini vacation for the evening. Service is always on point and the casino is always clean.

Wonderful and clean place. The fields are very nice and so well made. The parking is easy to get into and nice indoor facility. Came here for a tournament in 2023 and loved every minute of it. The fields and goals are in pristine shape and I could say the same about the training camp and indoor facility

Very nice and large complex. The parking for large events is not very good. The seating for volleyball tournaments is absolutely horrible. For some of the courts you have to look over a court right in front of you to see the other court that is 40 yards away. Sitting on top of each other watching different courts is ridiculous as well. Hope I never have to come back here again for volleyball. Very poorly laid out.

It's a massive venue with fields indoors and outdoors for all types of sports (soccer, baseball, ultimate frisbee, etc). It was pretty easy to get in and out of, even with the many cars scattered throughout different lots. The main fieldhouse is very nice and the bleachers offered great views of the indoor field. The only suggestion I would have is to bring a seat cushion as the bleachers can get uncomfortable.

Great park. Parking gets a little crazy, but it is expected how large the complex is. Concessions could use a little help. Stood in line behind 2 other people for 10 minutes, just to get a coffee. The kid helping is was eating Skittles as he typed in our order. Fields well maintained and marked.

Review: Grand Park Sports CampusThe Grand Park Sports Campus offers a well-organized and accessible venue for soccer enthusiasts, with its neatly laid out fields making navigation straightforward. However, a notable downside detracts from the overall experience—the challenging road conditions leading to the campus.
Pros: The campus layout is user-friendly, making it easy for visitors to locate soccer fields efficiently. The sports facilities are well-maintained and suitable for various activities.
Cons: The roads leading to the campus are subpar, especially during busy weekends, posing difficulties for drivers. The narrow roads can barely accommodate two passing vehicles comfortably, leading to potential congestion and delays.
Overall, the Grand Park Sports Campus shows promise as a premier sports destination, offering excellent amenities and a conducive environment for soccer. However, addressing the road conditions would significantly enhance the overall experience, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable visit for all attendees.

Grand Park Sports Campus truly stands out as a gem for sports enthusiasts and families alike. The fields are top-notch, well maintained and offer a wide variety of sports. They are constantly improving or redoing playing surfaces / refilling crumb rubber or actual turf on the turf fields, resting grass fields so they re grow and more. While the City owns the park, you have actual sports operators in charge of a lot of operations too so the emphasis on quality fields or current updates is not lost - which is apparent versus other places often run exclusively by municipalities which may sacrifice funds for this or reduce their importance in favor of other initiatives.
What really sets this place apart is the dedicated and friendly staff, always ready to assist and enhance the experience. Bullpen / GP folks are helpful despite the expansive setting - Hamilton county tourism has a great app as well with nearby things, events, restaurants, discounts etc.
The ongoing developments are impressive, hinting at an even brighter future for this venue. It's exciting to witness the transformation, making it not just a sports complex but a true destination for families, especially during weeklong tournaments. There's a unique energy here that keeps everyone engaged and close to so much.
Friends of ours stayed at the Chatham Hills guest house located on a private golf course about a mile away ~ great to be so close for all and have amenities, friends etc nearby.
Lastly, love the proximity of the Monon Trail! Whether you're into running or cycling, it's the perfect way to unwind or get some exercise between games. (Bikes aren’t permitted in GP itself) The trail offers a beautiful route all the way to downtown Indianapolis, perfect for those with some extra time.
If you’re there in later July / August, The highlight for many, is the Colts Training Camp. Held during one of the tournaments, it added an extra layer of excitement. The fact that it's free (with an online ticket) is amazing. The variety of activities for kids, like speed games and jumping, is impressive. Plus, the chance to be so close to the players adds a touch of magic to the experience. The Colts were scrimmaging the Bears ~ which was awesome to see.
Lastly ~ pets are not permitted in the park but we noticed there is a nearby Barkefellers to take animals to if traveling or leave at home :)

This is a review of the outdoor fields. Had a lacrosse tournament here and was impressed with how well the grass fields were maintained, they weren’t “potted” and a hazard to players. The parking was well placed around the different field “zones” and the zones were well marked from the street and easy to find. The bathrooms were clean and the concession staff were friendly. There are hotels and a good variety of restaurants not too far. One negative is the staff could’ve done a better job emptying the trash more frequently as it piled up quick and was blowing around the fields a bit.

This place is really nice. The fields we played on this trip were all turf but the grass fields still looked to be in great shape. We also played on the indoor (outdoor sized) soccer field today and it was great.
The one negative for this facility is that none of the fields have score board in operation and this has been true every time we have been here.

They care more about yelling at us to try to close their broken gates vs correct calls.
They love to play superior in the minds of young kids. This is about growth, not young umpires egos.
We pay a lot to play in these tournaments and then pay again to watch our kids.
Your excuses need to go back to your bad management!!!

Recreated 19th-century village on 200 acres explores Indiana's past through interactive exhibits.
Conner Prairie is a fun, unique adventure that you really don't get anywhere else nearby. We got a membership this year, so tried out the Christmas village for the first time. For the member price, it was a good value and certainly a nice NEW thing the kids hadn't done before. I can't say it'll be an annual tradition, but it had some nice things they enjoyed. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was hoping for more interaction with imagining how Christmas was and traditions they'd be doing during that period, but there wasn't much of that... but maybe I didn't ask the right questions. In one house, we got that he was in town visiting his sister & he did a little sing along for 1 song, and in another house a couple that had recently moved to the area and bought some property & his brother was settled in Indy.. but not much describing Christmas or plans or traditions. It was also REALLY busy the night we went, so I'm sure a less crowded evening would've helped some as well. The lights on the bridge were cool and the projection story on the Connor house was enjoyed as well. During the summer months, we enjoy our trips with our family and also often school field trips to the Prairie. Lots of areas the kids enjoy, though definitely a much better experience when you go on days when there is a lot of staff interacting in the houses and shops.

A little away from main indianapolis city, it's a farm land with its own historic importance. They tried to maintain this place as if time clocked 200 years backwards in Indiana. But overall not a very-well managed one, and too hot out in summers. I don't think you'll miss anything if you skip this in your visit to Indianapolis. All in all a dry, undecorated place with rough farm land mostly. Balloon ride will cost you $15 to $18 extra on top of your entry ticket. Cafe is overpriced considering the location. Even very basic plain patty burger will cost about $12 while you sit out in summer. Children play areas are pretty good (specially the air conditioned indoor one), and small children will surely enjoy it a lot. If you're visiting Indianapolis, consider taking Indy Pass. They cover 8 places in their $48 day pass, and Conner Prairie is one of them. It's a good deal if you know how to best utilize it.

Out of many options in the area, we traveled from Wisconsin and decided to attend Conner Prairie’s festival to watch the total solar eclipse. Our group is in agreement that we could not have made a better decision. The event was extremely well organized. I was worried about traffic and parking for such a highly anticipated event, but we didn’t wait in a single line to enter or exit the event and there were several friendly parking attendants instructing us where to go. Every staff member and volunteer from Conner Prairie we interacted with, from the ticket booth to the merch stand to concessions, were incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. We arrived at about 10:30am so had to wait several hours for the eclipse but we weren’t bored a minute! The live music and entertainment schedule was great. We appreciated the variety of food trucks and concessions that gave us plenty of options and helped keep lines short and quick. Bathrooms were clean and plentiful! This was an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives, and I can’t imagine spending it in a better way. For an event that doesn’t come around very often, we were thoroughly IMPRESSED with how organized and smooth everything at Conner Prairie went – with a smile on everyone’s face! So thank you to everyone involved. I’m already trying to convince my group to come back for the hot air balloon festival in September.

This place is an absolute must visit, especially if you have kids. Conner Prairie is massive, with different settings and villages all built around providing a "living history" experience. As an adult, I found this place to be fascinating from a historical perspective, but my kids were the ones that really loved it. With a massive treehouse, lots of animals, buildings to explore, and indoor/outdoor play areas, they could easily spend an entire day here. I felt the reenactors did a great job of interacting with the kids as well. With the cost of tickets, I would recommend looking in to an annual pass if you plan on visiting more than once. They also have a military discount as well. We came here first thing on a Sunday morning and had the place to ourselves! Definitely try coming during an off-time to maximize the experience.

Conner Prairie is a good place to spend the weekend. There are lots of attractions and activities. Visit the museum and village. Experience corn maze. Get the feel of riding in a hot air balloon. General admission is expensive ($20/person) but kids and seniors get some discounts. We visited Conner Prairie for hot air balloon festival and it was really eventful. Novel experience to get up close with 12-15 huge hot air balloons. Lots of playing activities for kids. Surely nice place to come with family.

We've been coming here for the Symphony on the Prairie 4th of July celebration for a couple of years now. We pay a bit extra for a table(instead of just lawn seats) and the VIP parking.

Boy, it sure has changed over the years. It's a great place for kids especially, with lots of interactive activities for them. Most of the houses and barns are open and the volunteers are available which is great.

Conner Prairie is a captivating outdoor museum located in Fishers, Indiana, that takes visitors on an immersive journey into the past. With its interactive exhibits, historical reenactments, and beautiful grounds, Conner Prairie offers a unique and educational experience for visitors of all ages.
The museum's focus on American history, particularly the 19th century, provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of early settlers and pioneers. As you explore the expansive grounds, you'll encounter a variety of historical buildings and structures, each meticulously reconstructed or preserved to reflect the time period accurately.
One of the highlights of Conner Prairie is the interactive nature of the exhibits. From the moment you step onto the property, you're transported back in time, engaging in hands-on activities that allow you to fully immerse yourself in the era. Whether it's churning butter, participating in a historic game, or trying your hand at traditional crafts, there's a sense of authenticity that brings history to life.
The staff at Conner Prairie are knowledgeable and passionate, eager to share their expertise and engage visitors in conversations about the past. The historical interpreters, dressed in period attire, provide captivating storytelling and reenactments, giving visitors a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of early American life.

The grounds of Conner Prairie are well-maintained and offer a picturesque setting. The expansive green spaces, walking trails, and serene river views create a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. It's an ideal place for a leisurely stroll or a picnic, providing a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
One aspect that could be improved at Conner Prairie is the availability of food options. While there is a small café on-site, the selection can be limited, especially for those with dietary restrictions. However, this minor inconvenience does not detract significantly from the overall experience.
In summary, Conner Prairie is a remarkable destination that blends education, entertainment, and historical immersion seamlessly. Its dedication to providing an interactive and engaging experience sets it apart from traditional museums. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique outing, Conner Prairie offers an enriching and enjoyable journey through time.

We brought my kids here for the first time (7, & 5) and I believe they were the perfect age! We spent 4 hours here and we still have so much to explore for the next time we go back. The kids loved hands on learning about history, and the actors/actresses kept them interested the whole time. I may have loved it even more than they did! I cannot wait to take them back. This is a place we can come back to and see new things we missed each time! Our kids truly learned a lot as well. On the car ride home we asked them questions from throughout the day, and they knew every answer. Awesome place! Well done!

Careful in the "Commons" area. Watch out for animal feces in corners and in the open rafters overhead. There was a brown streak on the walls where they have some interactive displays for the kids. Broken picture frame was there for a week with metal protruding. Hope it's fixed.

Will say though that when Jay is there all of this review would be completely the opposite.

While we've enjoyed some very good beers here many times, and they've encouraged bringing in your own food, without having a working kitchen, we were turned away from bringing in a local pizza. Mind you, this was in place a month ago, and today (Nov 17, 2020) their website only mentions a Foodtruck this Friday, and Tyner Ponds "Date to Date," which we had checked prior to heading to Greenfield..Just not a smart management decision - we took our Pizza King home and drank a Dark Lord with it!

Having recently moved to Greenfield we were looking forward to trying a local restaurant & a brewery at that! We experienced the worst service I think we have ever had in a restaurant!
It wasn't very busy when we 1st arrived. There was 1 unsmiling/unfriendly waitress & 1 guy in a black t-shirt with a Skelton design. There were 4 of us at our table. Waitress asked 1 of us what we wanted...brought that drink, then asked the next person...she came back 4 seperate times! I had a flight of 3 beers...never did she ask if I wanted to order a beer or anything else when the flight was gone. The black t-shirt guy literally dropped the food on the table & kept walking. I could go on & on about the bad service. By the end it literally became comical it was so bad. Doubtful we'll be back. The food was good...may order Greeks pizzeria as a carry out.

So the family and I went to the Wooden Bear to enjoy some time together and have some pizza play some bingo. We have only gone like two other times which both times the waitress always cleared our table. We finished with the first set of pizzas and set the boxes on the table behind us. We got the second set of pizza’s ate stacked the boxes at the end of our table. We had glasses and such and bingo cards on the table. All of the sudden this man came dragging a trash can around our table and to the table we set the boxes on. He then started slamming the trash in the trash can and said by the way there is a trash can right over there for the future. Ok first of all we did not see the trash can from where we were setting. Second all you had to do was tell us and we would have cleared it ourselves. I thought it was very rude and unprofessional. Here is a picture of where the trashcan was from the view at our table. We didn't see it until the man pointed it out. P.S. the waitress was kind and so that was nice. Just thought the way he handled it was a bit aggressive when there was no need to be.

Outdoor concert venue brings in major tours & festivals of all popular musical stripes.
Pretty nice venue! Great for concerts.. Some seating is in actual seats under a pavilion, the rest are lawn seats. If you are in the lawn seats, expect large crowds and an overwhelming smell of marijuana. If you want a good spot with lawn seats you need to get there super early, as it is first come first server. As with any venue, the concession prices are absolutely outrageous.

Dion... you are awesome, this man needs a raise!!!! Dion went above and beyond to make sure everyone was settled and happy. If you weren't happy, he took you around on his golf cart to find another spot that might fit your needs.
I have to thank Ruoff Music Center and their workers for treating us like humans. We had been following Dead and Company for about a month, and you were the only venue that didn't have a nasty attitude or yell at us. A lot of us didn't agree with the parking arrangements but that didn't take away from the kindness shown to us by the workers. Indiana was my family's last stop on tour, and you really helped us end it on a good note.

Awesome experience, really nice setup. Went and seen Chris Stapleton with a party of 6 and it was amazing. Very packed when we went due to it being over capacity😂 26 thousand people attended. Would love to go here again.
Drink selection is good but not cheap! 14 for a beer, shots are 16. More expensive selection of both if wanted. Plenty of bathrooms everywhere. Nachos and other snacks available aswell.
Tip - don't show up too early, otherwise you'll be sitting in parking lot trying to get out for 45 minutes after. The people who showed up late were parked in the back so they got out first!
Highly recommended!!!

We saw Phish on June 2022 at “Deer Creek.” We stayed at the Sleepybear Campground across the street. It was very convenient to just walk across the street rather than try to brave parking. The lines were long but moved fast. Security was efficient. I suggest you bring extra water bottles (new & factory sealed.) The venue is really cool if there’s good weather. We were on the grass, and you could see clearly and hear everything! We’ll definitely be back!

Best outdoor amphitheater in the Midwest! If you get lawn tickets in the summer and want to avoid sitting in the sweltering sun, arrive at least 2 hours early and sit nearest the awning as far north (to the right of the stage) as you can. This will put you in the shade earliest. Be sure to get a clear bag to bring your goodies in so you aren’t forced to bring it back to your car or dump it.

This is a really nice venue! There are concession stands and places to actually sit down and eat. It almost has an amusement park feel to it as you walk through. If you have a seat in the pavilion, there is literally not a bad seat. We sat in the back section and I was surprised with just how close we still were. The lawn is kind of steep though. I was a little disappointed with how high some of the prices were with the concessions. For example, a bourbon "shaker" was over $20 just for one and a hamburger and fries were $14. I had just been to another concert in Ohio and the prices were not this high, so I'm not sure if this is just standard in the area. I definitely recommend this venue though. It's beautiful and the parking isn't too crazy. You don't have to walk really far to the lot. It needs to be noted that if you want to buy alcohol you need your ID no matter how old you are. You have to show your ID at every single place to purchase alcohol.

I took my son to his first concert…Luke Bryan at Ruoff. This was my fist time to see a concert there since before the pandemic, and we had a great experience. We had reserved seats (v. the lawn), and the staff members that we encountered were friendly and helpful. I was also impressed with the amenities, selection of food and beverage and the sound. Do yourself a favor and purchase the premium parking. It’s worth every penny.

I went to see Jelly Roll and it was a sold out show. Besides it being jam packed it was a all in all great time. The staff we encountered were super nice and helpful. I haven’t been in so long and a lot has changed. I definitely plan on going back soon again. I sent an email to inquire about something and they returned it quickly. All in all a great experience. They also sent out many informative emails leading up to the concert. They made it aware that it was likely going to be hectic. Everyone seemed super cool and helpful. Very impressive considering 25K was there.

Recently came to see the Blackbear and Maroon V show. Great show. Good time. I've been coming here to see concerts almost 30 years. Usually on the lawn. Nothing better than standing around barefoot singing and dancing to your favorites. There is only ever one problem at this venue, when the concert is over, and you just want to go home, it literally takes an hour to get out of the parking lot. The earlier you get there for parking, the less you walk, but you are almost the last to get out. Think I will try premier parking next time. They have their own access road out, seemed to be much faster.
Concessions aren't cheap, but that is expected. One reason so many pre game in the parking lot. I have had many a good time here. Will continue to come back as often as I can.
She will always be Deer Creek to me!!❤

This was the most awesome concert venue I have EVER been to. We went to see Zac Brown Band and parking was easy- and free! The entrance wasn't crowded and took no time getting through security or the ticket gate, there were adult beverage stands EVERYWHERE and the lines were super short, come to think of it, I don't think we even waited. As we walked up every time the people in front of us were walking away and we were able to order immediately! The crowd was great too, everyone friendly and having fun, everyone respectful of people's blankets and chairs, and NO fights!! You could see the entertainment from anywhere in the venue thanks to super large video screens , and the sound was crystal clear. We have decided we will be coming back for all the concerts we want to see if they're being played here. I didn't see a lot of kids, but again, it was a Zac Brown Band concert, so I'm not sure if it's kid friendly. I guess it would depend on who's playing. I can't wait for the next time we go!

Last year this time we went and seen Zac Brown Band and had a blast! He puts on such a great show! Headed back today to see him again! Didn’t have premier parking last time but we do this year. Hoping it will help with the exit but we shall see! That was the only horrible thing about going was leaving. Stand still traffic for over 2 hours when we left last year. Hoping with the upgrade parking it won’t be as bad?

Very cool place if sitting in the grass get there early. If you do, you will have awesome seats for cheap. Staff and everyone were very helpful and friendly. The beers are 14 bucks but are 24 oz. The mixed drinks are 22 in a shaker, but my wife loves them, so worth every penny. Thanks for all that you do. Keep on keeping on!

I have been here multiple times. My biggest complaint is that parking is a nightmare. Most of the time the line is so slow that it is backed up all the way down into actual traffic and round abouts. Staff are always incredibly friendly. Food and drinks are pretty pricey and it is a cashless venue! Bathrooms are really nice and very clean.

Love this venue! I have done all kinds of tickets - Lawn Pass, individual seats, lawn seats etc. each time I have enjoyed the experience. Crowds can get a little heavy during sold out shows and you’re going to spend a lot of money on alcohol. The upgrades can be a bit tricky to navigate if you don’t know what they look like/add to the experience ahead of time. Highly recommend spending the $50-$60 for the Lone Pine areas when you can. It’s a fun addition!

We attended farmaide yesterday and it was a nice venue. We arrived around 1 and we were able to basically walk right in. You are allowed to take in a gallon clear plastic bag of food. Maybe not in all cases but for this all day event it was allowed. I did purchase farm made pork sandwiches and cash only fruit at farmer venues to the right of the stage. The lawn was crowded but for the most part people were friendly. The security staff were quick to take care of unruly intoxicated people with little disturbance to others. Smoking is allowed though not only cigarettes is smelled. I used the bathrooms on the right and never waited in a line. I got my merchandise before the sun went down, also to the right, and the line moved quickly. Twenty minutes tops. Because I was in the lawn pictures of the stage were not clear. Staff standing by the pavilion were courteous to allow me to take a few shots and return to my seat. The only complaint was a few lawn patrons attempted to purchase food after dark, to the left of the stage, and were in line over an hour. Not sure if this was staffing, an increase of event goers later into the day or everyone going to the left vs the right of the stage. Overall, as long as the day was, the acts, the food, the merchandise and the lines made this trip memorable. On a side note, the free water should come with a disclaimer. Most of us are city folk and drinking well water is an acquired taste. 😉

Overall, the event I went to: Odesza: The last Goodbye was decent. I got there probably too early, so next time I can get there later. Not a lot of shade, but if concerts go towards late evening, then it's fine.
We stopped here in August on the way from Ohio to our home in the Chicago area. It was so worth the stop then, that we immediately made plans to return in early November with a friend to attend the premier of the 2+ hour version of the movie Hoosiers. The return trip and visit was enjoyed as much as the first. Bob and Merv are two of the most passionate, inspiring people that you will meet, and they make sure your visit to their museum is the best. If you visit - and you should - please be sure to consider making a charitable donation to support their good work.

Just happened to stop by because we saw their sign on the main road thru town. I've been watching this show every fall since it has come out. I am so glad that they kept this place exactly the way it was in the movie. They let us shoot some hoops there and got to go down to the famous locker room. The lady overseeing it for the day was a gem! Full of information and so kind to show us around. I got to learn what was true of the "based on a true story". I was surprised. You gotta check it out.

If you are a fan of the movie "Hoosiers" then this is a must-visit place! This gym was still in use as an elementary school gym when the movie was filmed in 1985. Years later it was restored to the "Hoosiers" gym as depicted in the movie. There is no entrance fee but they have a gift shop that is a big source of their funding. You can walk all over and/or get a personal tour. Any fan of "Hoosiers" or Indiana high school basketball needs to visit here!

They are closed on Sunday, but my brother-in-law is a big fan of the movie. So, while we were traveling from California, we went by for him to at least get some outside shots. As we were there, they were taking down the amerrican flag for the evening. They asked if we wanted to see inside. Got a tour by the wonderful caretaker. What a finish to the day. We are so grateful to them. Keep up the great work!!!!!

We absolutely love this antique mall! It's truly a time traveling experience. It is a place to find unique items for your home or personal collections.

Treasure Mart Mall is a pleasant antique store. Lots of old items and specialty dining wear, historical pieces, the coins are intentionally overpriced.
The highlight of this whole place is the candles for sale, particularly the ones right next to the office.
Flavors are diverse, strong smelling, and have good wicks, except for the white candles at a different aisle.
Overall, this is a pleasant place to go to altogether.
Check back every few weeks or months and you will definitely see some changes.

A very nice, large antique mall in a former roller rink that still has the roller rink floors. Vendor areas are well laid out and most are full of wonderful antique items. We found a lot of great items and good deals, enough that we couldnt get everything we wanted (so we will just have to go back). Super pleasant and helpful proprietor who answered questions and made calls when we had info needs from vendors. A thoroughly enjoyable morning hunting through everything from glassware, miniatures, to automotive and furniture.

Well worth the visit. But I did lose $5 in 1 hour at the penny slots. We charged the Tesla enough to make it to and from our trip.
I've never been here before, and this place is huge, and quite entertaining. I'll definitely stop here every time we travel. The Tesla charging 40amp makes this place a no brainer if you need an extra 30 miles to make it wherever you're going and get back home.
Mind you, I'm not a gambler. But I'll gladly give you my cash in exchange for free charging while parking right next to the front door. No brainer. Sadly the J1772 charger was damaged on the same station. No worries though, I had a great experience. The staff are super awesome and polite, and ultra helpful. Thank you very much, you've got a customer for life.

Was in the area and wanted to stop in. Read the reviews prior that they are under construction so I expected some areas to be closed off.
They had a self serve fountain drink machine. There is a bar in the middle. Bathrooms were clean.
I didn’t hit the jackpot but I won a little something which is better than nothing. Can’t wait to see the finished construction!

My husband & I visited this Casino on Valentine's Day and we really enjoyed our day there. The Deli was a bit expensive but the food was delicious. The machines paid out fairly well. There was a wide range of machines available. We arrived shortly after 12:30p and stayed until early evening. We will be going back sometime soon. The staff was very friendly and helpful, bathrooms were very clean. Other attendees (customers) were extremely friendly. All in all it was a very enjoyable day at Harrah's.

They change their rules whenever they feel like it. No where have I ever played where there is a minimum (per bet). I understand it's a $25 table meaning you must put no less that $25 on the outside or inside. Not $25 per bet for each bet. People who want to come play and enjoy their time are not wanting to only make 4 bets on a roulette table. 🤦 don't waste your time because clearly they are just hungry for money making and push people out who are just here to have a good time.

We go just about every week and still can't win no more than $200.00.😥 can't even get free games anymore no matter what we bet. But we do love what you all did with the remodeling of it. Bigger more space and still spending too much money not to win something bigger.

Love the track here. This place has been under construction for awhile now and they've finally got the new entrance open.. looks fabulous except the trash cans were overflowing onto the ground.

I hate casinos, but I like horses. Didn't win at either one. Clean environment, the horse track and vip tent were right on point. This race, this weekend October 27 to Oct 29 is the one you want to see. Our horse didn't win. If you go bring money, unless you slick enough and don't gamble. But for those who do,awesome place to drop your mortgage and your kids collage fund. Jk gamble responsible. But I had a great time and enjoyed my night.

I go to the Casino pretty regularly and have spent a lot of $$$$ there, I've been going early in the morning lately. Apparently they collect the cash from the machines in the morning. On my way out today this long haired punk that is employed there told me that I can't walk there and before I could take a step he repeatedly himself, I was also checked for a weapon at the front door that turned out to be my wallet that I've had every time I've been there! Low class moves and low class employees, I'll be taking my business elsewhere! If you don't want to be harassed be the staff I would suggest you do the same!!! Pukes!!!

Apparently this company likes to fire people wrongfully and let's other coworkers falsely make claims about other coworkers on multiple occasions and doesn't do anything about it. Not to mention the will suspended only one person for cussing but let the other party who was also cussing work their shift. There is so much favoritism in the EVS aka Housekeeping department I wouldn't recommend anyone working there. They need to get new management in that department.

The games were good and drinks and food were good. You may wander, why only 3 stars? I got jipped out of 10 dollars on Christmas Day. I wanted to use my credit card to put 10 dollars for games by donating to a charity. She said I had to use cash. So I did. When I used the casino card it didn’t come up. The 10 dollars I put on the card towards games. I told that same lady. She said try again. I tried. It didn’t work. We all made peace with the fact that I was cheated out of 10 dollars. It is a good place to go to. Just don’t donate to charity. They may cheat you.

A solid Casino but a little cramped in my opinion. Slots are close together, tables are a always packed and though to sit down at. Nice bar and entertainment area with a solid selection of food. Sports book is mediocre at best. Not well ventilated either and I’m a smoker. Not great, but not bad.
Park centered on prehistoric monuments also offers hiking, fishing, swimming, camping & more.
This park has good amenities for young children, including a nature center, easy trails close to parking, and a playground. Their playground could use some updates but my 2.5 year old was still able to play and have a great time. The playground was shaded during the summer and early fall when we were there, making it a great option on a warm day but beware it may be damp if you go in the morning. They had recently redone the walking path near the great mound and it all looked great. My kids loved the nature center and all the animals they were able to see up close. Hoping to go back for programming at the park.

Short version: unless you are going for a walk, or talking pictures in the fall, I’d go to another state park over this one.
This is a very unique place that can be fun if you either just want to go for a walk through nature or perhaps have already seen many of the other wonderful state parks around Indiana. The reason I gave this 3 stars is due to the lack of interesting sights. The mounds are just as interesting to read about as they are to see and it’s not very interesting at that. While it’s not perfect, the main trail goes by a lovely stream that blows a cool breeze in the summer and the trees are lovely in the fall for stunning family photos or portrait sessions.
The trails are well maintained and loop back in a short easy to follow path. Be sure to pick up a map from the nature center!

Eh. The bathrooms are only convenient to the people beside them or in front of them. Depending on where you are in the park it's quite a hike to the bathroom. They don't have sidewalks or anything leading to the bathroom so you have to walk on the main roads. Or you'd be walking through someone's campsite. The women's bathroom is so small no matter what you do when you open that door or close the door you're gonna have to back up onto the toilet so you don't hit yourself with the door. I didn't hike we just camped for the eclipse not one of the best parks I've been to. The hiking looks great. The staff is very friendly. A man was complaining because they have not had hot water for Showers for a couple of days and it's not going to be fixed for a couple of weeks. The electricity went out they look like they are working on it, but we left. There was not a lot of shade because of the time of year the trees did not have leaves, just keep that in mind if you go, a canopy would be nice.

Very, very nice park. Spacious spots. Mature trees everywhere! (several do need cut as they are not good for tall tt's, 5th's, etc) We visited friends staying there. Beautiful and lots of trails. No sewer but they have dump stations. Very nice, paved windy roads back to the campground. Would definitely recommend!
This gem of a museum is worth a visit for sure! Set in beautiful surroundings, it’s easy to imagine life during the early years of Wilbur Wright. The museum lovingly captures the family’s memories and experiences. If you can, bring some friends and schedule a tour with the museum’s caretaker. She does a wonderful job!

This is definitely worth a couple hours to learn more about Wilbur Wright’s life journey from his birth in this house to his untimely death and the amazing things he did in between. He and Orville had no formal training and yet accomplished so much. Their contributions to air travel are noteworthy but they did much more than I understood prior to my visit. If you’re in the area, take the time to check it out!

We arrived at 11:50am on a Wednesday. Saw a woman on the porch go inside as we drove in, and her car was parked in the lot. We were unable to gain access as the doors were locked, lights out, and the closed sign is on the door. Pretty disappointing after driving 1.5 hours to get here.
The website says nothing about seasonal hours, and Google says it's open. Someone needs to take responsibility for updates.

One of the few stops of my cross country road trip from California to Maine. This location is somewhat hidden and far off of the interstate highway. This is the birthplace of Wilbur Wright, the older brother of the famous aviation duo. He is known, along with his younger brother, for his success in making the first free controlled flight of a power-driven airplane. He would later on die in 1912 due to typhoid fever. Would recommend this place for those interested in both aviation and American history.

The visit to the museum portion is well worth the small price.
Lakefront park known for fishing is home to the Zeigler Woods nature preserve & 5 miles of trails.
This lake is just breathtaking. The camping spots go around the a portion of the lake, so you have water access directly at the foot of your camp spot. Just beautiful. So many picnic tables everywhere with grills. The lake is so stocked with fish. Everything is alive and breaths life into your soul. Highly recommended!

Daniel Garrett — Google review
I stayed in the campground for two nights at the time of the 2024 solar eclipse. The park was very well staffed and the staff did a great job managing the crowd. The camp sites were pretty spacious and ours was fairly level. One camp area is in a wooded area and the other is mostly out in the open with a handful of sites in the trees. There is access to the lake throughout the park. The camp store was handy but it does not carry a lot of items. The campground restrooms were adequate. The utilities worked as expected. The Verizon signal was OK, but the T-Mobile signal was weak. I could only get three PBS TV channels with my very good roof mounted antenna. The campground had a nice playground and a few picnic areas. I would camp there again.

Rating from a hiking perspective. Judging by the amount of fisherfolk here when it was 40 degrees and blustery, it must be great fishing! From a hiking point of view, I did trails 1 and 5. The footing is great with very little trip roots. The views of the lake are nice and you’ll see some nice ponds full of frogs in the woods too. Parts of the trail are muddy or swampy but pretty normal for early spring. Keep a close eye out on the lake shore for signs of beaver. 4 stars due to some needed trail maintenance from blowdowns but they appear to be fairly recent.

Dogs barked constantly all weekend in Loop B, not Loop A as much. Neighbors notified the host but we never saw anything done. The rain kept them inside finally. We were on Site 98, it has an extreme grade right where the camper sits. Luckily we happened to have extra cribbage. We needed it all. Needed an extra 14" to level. Loop B, on the water, are all very tight. We all had to move vehicles and help fellow campers get in and out. This was the most I've ever had to help anywhere we have been. I don't mind but some tree removal and added site framing would help a ton! The lake is huge and very nice to go out on. An Eagle is straight out and to the right from the campground area. Minks were on the islands closest to Loop B. And one last thing...mow the grass instead of walking around handing out weekend itinerary papers that the guard could add to entry kit. Grass was 8 inches tall on all sites that weren't flat. Not a relaxing weekend, luckily we had a group with us to make it better. Do better Summit Lake.

had a great time camping out.. it's definitely a little pricey but if u have the $ it's worth it. weekends are packed so you have to get a reservation but weekdays are a little cheaper & a lot less busy.. they got all the facilities that u need.

Wonderful, laid back park. We got one of the sites that had a short trail to the water, which was perfect because we did a lot of kayaking. The boat launch in the campground was nice too, though, instead of having to drive elsewhere to launch.
Loved that the big lake is trolling speed only. Nice for us folks with young kids who like calm water. The kids loved the beach. Still amazed by how clear the water was! We had fun looking through the rocks. We do wish the beach wasn't quite so rocky.
The fishing was pretty good. We didn't catch as many as we had hoped, but we got plenty of bites to keep things interesting. The kids thought it was super cool that we paddled out to one of the islands to fish.
My biggest complaint is the "potable" water. What is up with it being orange and smelling like bleach? It was the same for the bathrooms and the water at the campsites. Ew.

This a great place to camp, fish, kayak and just enjoy nature in a relaxed environment. Trails along lake are a nice walking experience. This is not the place for challenging hiking experiences like Turkey Run might have.

Great place to take the kids! The beach was a little overcrowded but it's summer I get it not everyone can afford a pool or to go to one and you can pile everyone in your vehicle and go swimming for $7 cheap. And with cheap comes all kids of characters. Other than that loved the trails and the new signs up for education.
Jessica Morgan — Google review
The best way to sum up my experience is that it is a nice state park that isn't necessarily spectacular compared to other state parks, which isn't necessarily meant to detract from it being a good place to visit if you come in with reasonable expectations. The main attraction is certainly the lake and I was impressed with the clarity and cleanliness of the water. It's also a good size lake that can easily provide hours of paddle time on a kayak. There didn't seem to be a lot of hiking trails/mileage and none of the descriptions caught my eye to make me want to try a trail. There were some nice shelter houses and plenty of picnic tables making it a great location for a picnic.
A very nice contribution to Peru Indiana. I love having the Cole Porter items on display. This puts my perspective on his personal life more three dimensional. Cole Porter's birthplace and resting place brings my annual visit full circle.
I will continue this annual tradition.

An excellent place to learn some history about everything. I saw a lot of interesting artifacts and items. I took my 8-year-old and 10-year-old son here. They were not excited at first but after we started looking and reading they seemed to enjoy it.
It was free and was something we did after visiting the Grissom Air Force Base. Good time and was able to learn some interesting things.

The staff are absolutely amazing and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Miami county. The third floor circus exhibit shows the history of the circus in Peru with awesome exhibits, and don't even get me started on the Cole Porter Cadillac on the first floor!

Hadn't been to the Peru museum since I was a teenager. I always will remember the elephant skull. Plus I hadn't been in the building since it was Senger's department store. To bad they couldn't restore the pulley system that sent the payments to the office. It was an amazing contraption.

Had a great visit to the James Dean Gallery today. Lenny and David were great hosts and had lots of fascinating information to share about the late, great James Dean. Highly recommend a visit to the expertly and lovingly crafted gallery as well as the cool antique/vintage shop they have put together. Lenny gave us directions to get around the rest of town as well and see all the major James Dean spots.

Headed out exploring on my motorcycle today and ended up in Fairmount. Stopped at the James Dean Gallery and met the Owner Dave, and Lenny, who runs the gift shop. Really cool place, and two super nice guys. Very knowledgeable on James Dean and the town of Fairmount. Stop in and say hello to the guys and check out some very cool memorabilia. Also met Lenny's sweet dog Cleo.

We lucked into finding the gallery on a recent road trip. We were pleasantly surprised that not only is the museum free, there is also a nice variety of gifts and memoribilia for purchase. The nice gentleman working, Lenny, was kind enough to give us a wonderful history lesson and recommendations for other local sites and eataries. You must stop in the museum if you're a James Dean fan! The city of Fairmount is full of places to see and great restaurants to enjoy!

You really can’t go to Fairmount without stopping by the James Dean gallery! There’s so much memorabilia and history to see. Talking to Lenny and hearing his and David’s story was definitely the highlight of our visit. Their dedication to Dean and the gallery is inspiring. Lenny set us up for a good trip by giving us a map with all of the Dean spots to see and recommendations.

We drove up from Knoxville heading to Decatur and found this gem. The house is absolutely beautiful, and the museum was just as amazing. The gentleman working was so gracious and kind and gave us all the information on the area and everything we needed to know about James Dean! He was also a monster lover and showed us his Frankenstein model! Can't wait to come back when we have more time to see the whole town!

A must visit establishment for Dean enthusiasts. I’ve known the owners Dave and Lenny for 30+ years. Friendliest people you’d ever want to meet. If it’s your first time in town, Lenny will gladly give you a map and historical insight on all the points of interest and they are both happy to answer any questions. To me, it’s a historic landmark!!!

This is a wonderful quick stop in the middle of our travels.. located in Fairmont, Indiana, it brought us some extra excitement. The host was wonderful and full of knowledge and was willing to answer all of our questions. This truly makes James Dean's legacy shine bright and shows exactly who he was.
It is completed with a video room of rare footage, plenty of artifacts, and photos..
The host also gave us a map and explained where his gravesite is (also in Fairmont), his boyhood home (Fairmount), and where he got his first motorcycle (Fairmount).
I give this place a solid 5 stars easily! I rate a MUST visit! Both the gallery and the gravesite!
Interactive exhibits including water works, a simulated dinosaur bone dig & animal education.
This place is just amazing for little kids who want some play. I have memories coming here once as a kid, and i was glad to see my brothers having fun.I went here with my mom and brothers and saw all the cute little kid attractions. Great museum for kids and would highly reccomended for the little ones. I also like the little parrot in the gift shop, he was cute too.

We had a great time! The staff was lovely and the exhibits we're nice. Tickets were $7 a person. Lots to do, although the upper exhibits we're closed. It wasn't terribly busy either, we went Wednesday around noon. I was surprised to see bunnies and guinea pigs! I'd love some info on how the animals are cared for and where they come from. Staff was busy so I didn't ask. Will update if I get the chance to. We will definitely be back!

Visited for the first time with my sons school on a field trip. The kids had a blast, and a lot of them fell asleep on the bus on the way home. I myself was also worn out after a few hours walking around with the kids. There are no exhibits, it's more of a discovery museum.

Despite its size the museum provides kids ample activities and interesting interactive displays. The staff are incredibly welcoming and work to ensure that not only the visitors have a great experience through engagement activities but also keep the place neat and clean. If you do a little bit of "research" before hand you can often find coupons for $1 off admission (up to 4 guests) and a coloring contest that gets you a free sand art container ($2 value). Highly recommend a visit!

Upstairs is unavailable; five new exhibits are on the way per signage around the museum. No costumes are available at dress-up stations, "ask staff" signs everywhere, crayons, drumsticks, and paper. Inconvenient to continuously walk back and forth. My 6 yr old didn't want to keep walking back to the front with quite a few different animals to look at. The anthill has been cut in half. Nothing in the outdoor area but bees, both alive and dead, around the benches. Not nearly as interactive as it once was. Individual rooms offered little interaction without going to find a staff member.
Hopefully, by winter, when the 1st new exhibit will be available, it'll be more exciting and interactive for kids. Highlight of the visit was seeing the baby turtles in the gift shop.

Wonderful place for the kids! Half the time, if they'll listen to you, you can just let them go and have a blast. Just stay close so they don't get into the restricted areas. Plenty for them to do. Best part about it? You ain't gotta worry about things being outta place, or putting something back in its place. Other kids come right behind and take over.

A great little gem in downtown Muncie! My 3 year old absolutely loved it. We spent almost 2 hours in the museum, and she still wasn't ready to leave. It may seem small on the inside, but there are lots of activities tucked away throughout the building. Sure, some materials are a bit run down and "well loved" - but you have to remember that this is a 100% hands-on children's museum. It's to be expected. Donate a few dollars towards maintenance, and enjoy your visit. 😊 We will definitely be back. (I marked "free admission" in the review questions, only because we have a reciprocating membership that allowed us to be free. Not sure what the actual admission price is.)
Historic home's grounds hosts themed gardens, a history museum & farmer's market plus free events.
Have lived in this area over 25 years..first time I have actually taken time to walk the area and paths. It was outstanding to see the work and designs that have been done with paths and such. Very tastefully done with purpose very up kept. I will go back and enjoy more. So much to see and I'm sure I missed much detail..classy, very tastefully laid out. Beautiful.

On a whim I decided to visit the Bob Ross Experience. Living an hour away I had no idea this place existed and learned of it because of the Bob Ross display. The employees were very welcoming and friendly. They all answered any questions I had and definitely made me feel welcomed.

This place was pretty cool. Didn't have the time to take full advantage and see everything. But the sculpture, was impressive. As well as the mansions on the grounds. But the best part was seeing the house that Bob Ross filmed his Joy of Painting show. If you're stressed out, watch some Bob Ross, and you'll be immediately relaxed.

We visited specifically for the Bob Ross experience then ended up enjoying a few other places. It was fun to see the studio and various paintings in the house where the show was filmed. The other houses and surrounding gardens were also fun to explore. The nature area is a nice walk, even on a chilly wintery day like today. We're planning to go back in spring or summer when things green up again. There are quite a few little libraries around the entire area so if you have books you need to donate somewhere take them with you.

Nice place, large park with some interesting historical houses. Ball family, Bob Ross studio. The Bob Ross experience is kinda meh. The gallery is small but nice. Oakhurst house is interesting, but the upper floor is a changing display, it was Bob Ross quilts. Maplewood is a private building. EB Ball house was not open. The exhibits at the center were interactive and interesting. The gardens are small but pretty. The nature area is a maze of trails with no signs. There are different types of equipment to climb up from one trail to another, fitness style. Gift shop is nice and has a quilt garfield statue. You will need at least 3 hours to visit the indoor spaces. Grounds are open later. Not sure it was worth $15.

We visited today for the garden fair and farmer's market. Parking was free, plentiful, and close to the main event space. The staff working the gardens were knowledgeable about the plant species, friendly, and made sure we knew the herb garden was open for the public to take herbs home with them. In the fall, produce from the orchard can also be taken home for free! The garden spaces were well-kept and there were trails we didn't get to explore this time. We also did not enter the museum (or any of the buildings aside from the orchard restrooms). Plan to go back to do everything else another day

The depot is a wonderful old restored train station building that serves people who use the Cardinal Greenway. However, I was somewhat unhappy with my most recent visit. I had a friend from Brazil visiting me with his girlfriend. They were doing a roadtrip across the US, so I offered to take them on a 3-mile hike along the Cardinal and White River Greenways. I started by showing them the Little Free Library and then the inside of the Depot. As soon as we entered, I had them sign the guestbook. As they were doing that, a woman behind the counter said "Can I help you?" She was not smiling at all. I told her that I was just showing them around. We looked at some of the historic photos on display and then checked out the gift shop. We were waiting for my brother to show up, since he would be walking with us, so we sat down at the table there. The woman walked up to us and asked, "Is there some sort of a problem?" I politely told her that we were just waiting for my brother, since he was on his way to hike with us. Then after some minutes, we left. The woman said nothing. She seemed to resent us being there.
The following day, my Brazilian friend realized that he had lost his wallet. So he was checking at all the places he had visited. I stayed in the car while he and his girlfriend checked at the Depot. The same woman was there. She told him no one had found a wallet. Before they left, they took another look inside the gift shop. The woman immediately followed them in and said, "I thought you came here regarding a wallet." So they left.
Since none of the places we checked had my friend's wallet, we went back later that day to retrace the steps of our hike. This time we stayed out of the Depot. Amazingly, he actually did find his wallet. He also came across someone's dropped credit card. He actually felt it was necessary to turn it in at the Depot, in case the owner thought to look for it there. So back we went. I stayed outside. He told me she had actually been somewhat friendly that time and even smiled. But she also talked a lot about how the Greenway is supported by contributions from donors. He said he had the impression that she was hoping they would become donors. If that's true, it's kind of strange that she would think that foreign tourists would sign up to become donors.
Anyway, I just felt like getting this off my chest. The Depot used to be a wonderful resource for trail users. The first time I went visited it, the fellow working there was extremely helpful. He made sure I had a map and answered all my questions. But now it's apparently being run by someone who doesn't like to deal with the public. I will definitely continue to use the Greenway and the Depot parking lot, but I don't plan to go back inside the Depot any time soon.

Nice concession choices - flatbread pizza a very tasty change from typical movie food fare. At first showing on a Saturday and theatre es very clean (as was the women's restroom). All staff was courteous and efficient - all still wearing masks (which I appreciate very much since we're still dealing in a pandemic).

It's sad that we went to see a movie that started at 7:45. And half an hour later go to get some candy at the concessions. Nope, a female employee informed me (in a very unpleasant manner) they were closed so I was unable to get anything from them including a refill on popcorn. So we asked for a refund just for management to call security on us. It would be a good idea to rethink management.

We come to shows here often. The Honeywell center is an amazing performing arts center especially given the size of the town. It's newer, with comfortable seating. Large enough to bring in nice shows, but small enough that there are no bad seats. Parking is free and never an issue, the art gallery in the lobby always has something new on display, and the on site restaurant is pretty good too. If you live nearby, definitely check out the schedule of shows coming.

Shane and Savannah were really fun guides! Our 19 year old birthday girl loves adventure. We brought her & our 16 year old (who’s usually NOT looking for adventure) for their first Zip Lining experience. They both had a blast! 💥🎉👏🏻

We had an amazing time for our 7 year olds birthday. We did the intro course to make sure he could handle it and he loved every second of it. Our guides Matt and Daphne were awesome and made every one feel comfortable. We will absolutely be back this summer to check out the full course.

We had Isaiah and Kayden as our guides and they were great. Our kids got cold feet at the last minute but they helped us out the entire time. Great experience and would definitely recommend it 👍

Zip Timber Lake is an amazing place to experience the thrill of zip lining. You first zip through the trees and if you opt for the High Adventure package, you even zip across the lake . The great thing about zip lining is that it can be for everyone. Zip Timber Lake is the only place you can zip line in North-East Indiana and it is definitely an incredible way to spend an afternoon!

I first did the intro course in the fall of 2022. My daughter wanted to go back for her 13th birthday and do the full course. We completed it today, and she had an awesome time! The staff are knowledgeable, professional, and very kind. Highly recommend!

Place is awesome! Kaden and Sarah were our guides on the zip line tour and you couldn't ask for 2 better people to be guides. Very nice, very knowledgeable, very quick-witted sense of humor! Will definitely be back!

What a hidden gem! Our guides, Isaiah and Kaden, were knowledgeable and cognizant of supporting everyone's comfort level. They balanced humor with challenge during the course while practicing upmost safety. We are excited to visit again and will be bringing a new set of friends to share this adventure!
I live in Fort Wayne so I have been here before and it was always very nice. I have not been since the start of covid, I went here over the weekend with my friends from out of town, it was a large party of us, and we had a blast! Great tasting experience! I usually buy the wines that are available in the local store is but I never have tasted the dry wines and I really like them. Sammy is very knowledgeable! All of your staff is wonderful! They made us all feel very welcomed. Thank you for the wonderful service! We had such a great time.

My wife and I stopped by for a wine tasting and chose the sweet wines. We got to pair the wines with cheeses and learned why certain wines and cheeses went together. Our host was welcoming, personable, and funny. Left with a box of wine! Recommend the experience.

I've been to a few wineries but this is the first one that I've been to where you wait to be seated. It felt a little uncomfortable at first and not very welcoming. We were told by 4 different ppl, 4 different times "we'll be with you in a moment". After standing there a good 10-15 min we were seated. This is more like a restaurant style winery. Service was slow. We did enjoy ourselves once we were finally waited on and served the wine and small plates. I'm not sure that we will visit this winery again. It's a lovely building is all I have to say.

I don't personally drink wine, but my wife and my mother love wine, and they absolutely love this place! Even though I don't drink wine, Two-EE's Winery is such a neat building with an extraordinary atmosphere. They have wonderful outdoor seating, a great interior and exterior design, and a great selection of wine and wine slushies. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Two-EE's also occasionally has food trucks in the parking lot from popular restaurants!

I recently visited this winery and was impressed by their extensive selection of wines and delicious menu offerings. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, making for a memorable experience. My only suggestion would be to include more sugar-free drink choices for those who prefer not to consume alcohol.

Best friends day out and we lucked out with Sip & Shop! Our food and wine were both amazing. But not as amazing as Josh and Rachel who we are going to kidnap and take with us! They deserve a day off so we told them they could hop in the back seat and tag along for a shopping day.

Fantastic event experience, watched the princess bride on their big outdoor screen with lawn seats. Impressive sound quality even way out in the lawn, great A/V staff. Amazing special themed wine slushie (As you wish, a raspberry flavor). Great experience 10/10 would absolutely do this again

This was the best wine tasting experience I have ever had! Before entering the tasting room, we were given a glass of the Bublee. It was a great starter from the hostess. As we entered into the tasting room, it was super relaxing, and a great all-around vibe for such a cool experience. Our wine guide, Lori (spelling), was excellent in her explanation, conversation, and suggestions. I tried The Classics, and my wife tried The Signatures. I really like sweet wines and my wife enjoys dry wines. We enjoyed the process from start to finish…swirl, sniff, sip, and snack. We walked out with eight bottles of wine. 🙂
The experience from start to finish was incredible! It felt like we were the most important people there, although there were other people around. If you have not gone, go!

Signed my girlfriend and I up for a standard wine tasting. When I arrived we were inadvertently ushered into a tasting for the Wine Club members. The error wasn't discovered until we were trying to leave from the patio side later that evening. Once discovered, they apologized and told me that if I'd like to come back for a standard tasting they'd cover the cost. Best mistake of my life! Thanks for a great evening!

I’ve been going here since they opened years ago. A lot has changed over the years they have grown so much. I go here in the winter or in the summer. During the summer they have live bands too.They offer indoor seating, patio seating, picnic table seating on the lawn, or you can bring your own blanket and sit on the lawn. They also have several appetizers to choose from that complement your wine. Also during the summer they have had food trucks to enjoy as well. It’s one of my favorite places and I have been going here for years it’s perfect for a group outing, girlfriends night out or a romantic evening with your hubby.

My mom and I have been to this winery about 3 times and our favorite wine to get is the Diamond, it is just so so so sweet and delicious. Also got their charcuterie board 2 times and it has been so good. The place is very modern and clean and the staff are lovely. The bathrooms sinks got some pretty dang cool designs too.
SolarSaber — Google review
Got 3 bottles of wine, they were awesome 👏🏻 I would’ve liked the charcuterie board to have more cheese options, but I was a bottle in, so honestly it was pretty good 🍷🤌🏼 Got a margarita pizza. It was larger than I expected (good thing), and also pretty good 👏🏻 Our total was about $100 but for 3 people at a winery I’d say that’s pretty good! I went there not expecting to have more than two glasses 🥂 and I left there drunk, and also well fed 😂 Definitely coming back.

We were visiting from out of state for my birthday and went here for lunch. The whole winery is so nice and relaxing. We had a great experience and the wine and pizza was amazing! We will definitely be back if we are in the area again. Highly recommend!
State park with hiking & biking trails, campground, pool, tennis courts, playground & nature center.
This is a great park for a day or a week. Tons of things to do. They have around 10 miles of easy to moderate hiking trails, a fishing lake, swimming beach, campground, small herd of bison, and tons of other things to do. A short distance outside the main entrance is White Bridge picnic area and public access.

Went for a day in April for the eclipse. Such great staff! It's a wonderful park with plenty of space and trails. It was still spring so the trails still had standing water and mud as expected, so bring proper footwear. Has a beach front and seasonal boat rental. Fishing is allowed but only two keepers. Rock path around most of the lake. Has a bison enclosure you can walk around the outside. A few different playgrounds and bathroom areas. We plan on going back in the summer.
Paul “HoosierGuy” Andrew — Google review
Beautiful park. I enjoyed the 6 mile trail 5 park today.
The bad: The trail was very muddy but not atypical for early spring. They do have a lot of loose rock on the trail so the problem areas are not bottomless quagmires. Sturdy hiking shoes or boots can get through but you may get wet. I recommend the park put some board walks in a few areas like we see at other parks in the state.
The good: great mix of timber, creeks and wildlife. If you need some pine tree therapy, this is a great trail and park for you. The camping facilities look nice too.
Dustin Hirner — Google review
For such a small state park, there's quite a lot you can do. If you like to go fishing, you can do that. If you like visiting a beach, you can do that. If you want to go for a hike in the woods, you can do that. If you want to see some bison chilling, you can do that.
So if you like doing those things, give this park a try.

Such a wonderful place to camp. Our cat particularly loved exploring the nearby woods. Lots of locals come by for lunch or just to look out over the river. Very relaxing space. We will definitely be back.

My friends camp here. The campground is all electric.The campground building restrooms are very clean. The viewing bison feeding is a must. Beautiful animals . Beautiful lake. Several trails with trees marked telling what they are. We did all the trails. It was a total of 13 miles.

What an amazing place! Though, to be honest, I haven’t been to a Indiana State Park that wasn’t amazing! The paved bike path was phenomenal. The Bison exhibit was fun, the dogs didn’t know what to think. There is a Tree Hike (trail 3) that has signs posted by trees with QR codes to scan so you can learn more about the trees (I loved this). A lot of pretty easy trails, great campground and absolutely wonderful employees that were g]helpful, friendly and offered great suggestions. Many interpretive programs to learn about the park. We will definitely be back!
Judy Vernon — Google review
It's a smaller campground, but it's very nice for a quick weekend getaway. Walking trails and exploring nature is the main thing to do there, but there also is a bison encounter usually in the morning.
Anya — Google review
It's a small lake but an excellent place to kayak with kids.
Special notes:
Be prepared for people to have "main character issues" while you're trying to peacefully enjoy your trip!
People are beyond inconsiderate of anyone else around them in many circumstances, including bringing infants camping, screaming for hours multiple days in a row. Especially at night/midnight and turning headlights on for hours shining straight at our campsite during the peak of the meteor shower!
Driving on the road in the campground is very difficult when people won't get out of the road. It's one small lane, not oversized.

Beautiful camping park. Very clean. Love the tower you can climb and the Bison. The beach looks nice, however it is still closed due to its before memorial day so I am unsure of how the swimming actually is. Brand new shower and bathrooms at the camping sites. Camp sites all paved for campers. Deer, coons, lots of woodpeckers. Great fishing. $30. A night for elect hook up site.

We've been coming here for years. There are lots of hiking trails, a campground, a swimming area, paddle boats, picnic areas, and a playground. The restrooms were clean and I love watching the Bison. Some of the trails are really beautiful. Definitely a nice state park to visit ❤️
Stopped by today to see the Pelican migration. Over 100 birds! A bit more exciting than normal, but even on a normal day, the limberlost is a fun place to walk around and look at wildlife.
8 years ago, a friend and I had some Amish trying to sell us drugs down here, and they had some very drugged out young girls in their van. So its not always a safe place, but as long as you ignore them, and call the police on suspicious activity you should be fine.

A generational trip for us. I first rode the Dixie in 1980 while pregnant with my daughter. My father in law took us. On this trip we brought our grand children to experience the boat. My grandson liked it and had a lot of fun. He had a ton of questions.

ABSOLUTELY lovely cruise. The people were extremely friendly. The tours ran on time. We were lucky enough to take the Saturday night twilight cruise with the singing Captain. Not only does he sing . He also narrates along the way. The price was very reasonable for the amount of time you wete out on the lake. There is no price that you can put on the beauty of nature. Absolutley stunningly gorgeous on the lake. Highly recommend a day cruise and a twilight cruise.
A variety of things to do for people of all ages! Had a team outing here and it was a blast!

Always a great experience. This year however was a little rough around the edges. I know they were rushing to open for us due to rides being down but they should have spent some extra time on the smaller stuff while waiting. The men's bathroom in the activity center was out of order and the women's up front had one not working. Also, some of the putt putt areas were under water and others were not able to be played as they were keeping your balls. But overall for as many people we had in our very large group it was a good experience.

Loved this place growing up, but I grew up in the late 90s and not much has changed since then. It has been well loved and could use some updates, paint, weed control. Prices are great however, and we had fun! All in all worth a visit!

There are three mini golf courses all adequately maintained. Fun decor - castle, water falls, concrete creek that runs through the courses, etc. Staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the frog jump and rollercoaster were not staffed (not sure if they ever are). The arcade had many (seven) machines out of order. All in all, a fun way to spend a couple hours without dishing out a fortune.
I finally visited the Castle Gallery for the first time this Valentine’s Day. As soon as I walked into the magnificent building, I was in awe the whole time. On all three floors, there is artwork by various artists, including the late owner Jody Hemphill Smith, in just about every nook and cranny of the gallery. I still cannot get over the love-themed bedroom, perfect for Valentine’s Day. If you have not visited this hidden gem, do so soon, as the gallery is up for sale. The only regret is not visiting earlier to meet JHS, the owner who passed last autumn.

Wonderful place!
The location and directions were a bit difficult to understand as the gallery is in a neighborhood.
The owners are a couple that live there as it is housing converted to a gallery. Every room had a piece of art so the entire building was viewable.
A cat (domestic short hair) and a dog (collie) does roam the building so anyone who is allergic to those two, be aware. The dog was outside during my visit, but the cat was inside. Very friendly cat who follows when suggested to. The suggestions can be talking, noises, or looking back. The picture of the cat is below.
The greeter was the wife on the day I visited. Wonderful speaker! I was informed of the some of the local and national art pieces and their artists. If asked about a piece, thing or location, then the owner will give a short summary of it.
The quote from Smith is the husband. He is a writer with his books selling near the main desk.
The end of the stairs from the second to the third level and the stairs from the first level to the second level do not have railings. For anyone who requires railing or unable to climb stairs, please keep that in mind. There is only 3 levels. The outside black stairs and wooden ladders on the third level are not for guests.
The building did indeed give a warm feeling like any home with a sophistical approach to art.
No entrance free, no suggestions to donate to the couple.

Regardless of what color of skin walks into an “open house” - they should all be treated the same.
My boys were looking at artwork..looking for a great piece to buy, for our new home.
But little to say I would never buy a piece that comes from an open house where we are being watched and followed. Same lady Right behind us almost at all times, felt like a security guard. Making comments directed toward us, that were not made at others.
We would never treat anyone the way we were treated today…regardless if we had a million dollar house or a 20thousand dollar house.
Diann was the only lady there that was professional answering questions and representing.
This wouldn’t have bothered me at all if I was alone, but it bothered me in every way as my kids have to learn sometimes our color matters.
Great and beautiful art throughout, but make sure the people showing and representing the house and art don’t judge a book by its cover upon walking in.

What a unique place. The owners very graciously invite you into their private home with an incredible collection of art. Definitely go if you can.
Parkview Field, a minor-league baseball stadium, not only hosts baseball games but also serves as a venue for concerts. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful view of the field from any seat, thanks to protective nets that cover most of them. In addition to numerous food stations and well-organized merchandise shops selling quality products at reasonable prices, there is a walking path and splash pad for visitors' enjoyment. During baseball games, spectators can expect classic minor league fun with contests and silly activities between innings.
This stadium is great! The fireworks nights are awesome. There is a wide variety of alcohol drinks if you are into that kind of stuff.

This baseball park is sweet. Great field. Great views from pretty much anywhere. Nets protect most of the seats. Stadium has numerous food stations. Ushers and security are friendly and efficient. Classic minor league baseball with contest and silliness between innings. Worth the price of admission in a family friendly environment. Classy array of merchandise and the shop is clean and orderly and prices are average for quality merchandise. It’s nice the TinCaps win a lot too.

It's always a good experience when going to Parkview Field! The entertainment is incredible here. During the baseball game they have quick little games where people who are chosen can go onto the field and win some prices which is fun to watch. There are many different places to sit at. They have a wide variety of foods at this ball field. My favorite is the Dip n Dots with the ball cap! You get a quick treat and a souvenir you can take home. Many nights they have special themes including, Family Feast Night, Princess Night, Thirsty Thursdays, Peanut Free Night, and Star Wars night just to name a few. Sometimes they have post game fireworks and post game autographs as well! Stop by and watch a game!
