Family Fun!

In Southern Indiana, there really is a town named Santa Claus and this entire community shares the holiday spirit with kids all year-round. Visit Christmas shops, Santa’s Candy Castle, and the Santa Claus Museum any time of year.

Between May through October, take the kids to Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari in Santa Claus. This holiday-themed amusement park and waterpark offers The Voyage, the World’s #1 Wooden Coaster. New for 2010 season is Wildebeest, the World’s Longest Water Coaster. Holiday World also offers rides for little ones, shops, shows and entertainment. For 10 years in a row, Holiday World has been voted the Cleanest Park on the Planet, too! 

AMAZONIA, Forest of Riches is a special, immersive South American Rainforest exhibit at Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden. Two female jaguars were born there recently and as they’ve grown up, the cub sisters have become a visitor favorite. 

Explore caves! Southern Indiana’s geological history has created unforgettable cave experiences for kids and adults alike. Marengo Cave is a US National Landmark and offers two very different and equally breath-taking tours. Here, you can also enjoy gem mining, hiking and paddling on the Blue River with Cave Country Canoes. Visitors can explore Squire Boone Caverns, discovered by Daniel Boone and his brother in 1790. At Bluespring Caverns and Spring Mill State Park, caverns are toured by visitors during underground boat rides.

Kids and grown-ups alike enjoy outdoor recreation activities at Southern Indiana parks. Canoes, kayaks, and custom fishing and hunting trips are available at West Boggs Lake. Other family favorite activities here include camping, picnicking and swimming. Or, take the kids fishing at Prides Creek Park, a beautiful 200-acre park with a lake with bass, catfish and blue gill. At Delaney Creek Park, camping and hiking are available year-round.

Watch the racing action! The Chandler Motorsports Park is the place for watching races all season long. This NHRA sanctioned track runs Quick 8, Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Pro Bike, and Jr. Dragster classes.
