Beautiful Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of Notre Dame University. Itaianate (actually, Italian) frescoes, extraordinary stained glass windows created by an order of French nuns, ornate appointments but not overdone. Elegant. Interesting array of sculptures/paintings/relic. Lots of back stories. Home of our Lady's Chapel, where Notre Dame football players gather for prayer and blessing before every home game.
2. Wakarusa Dime Store

This is basically a candy store located in what appears to be an old house. They have a variety of items. Items they are are things such as old style candy, local candy, unique candy, etc. They even have bulk bins for various jelly beans and taffy candies. It was a pretty neat little store and I would definitely go back.

Renowned for its rich athletic tradition, the university is a beautiful place to visit, with such religious attractions as the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, the park-like setting of its huge stadium and the abundant artwork.

Wonderful campus, great staff to organize the tours (helen) and nice bookstore. A bit too much junk in the bookstore and a bit overpriced, but I guess that's the way it is.

We were visiting the area for the chocolate factory (see other review)but also wanted to see the River Walk area and this park. This park had so many unique features that we've never seen before - my 6-year old loved it! What a great setting too - the River Walk area is lovely (just wish we had been here when spring had truly sprung). The rubber tile ground cover is great - we have one like that at home and it is superior to wood chips!

This is a MUST do. It is lovely, peaceful, and serene. We lit a few candles for loved ones. Students stopped by while we were there. Families stopped by. Staff stopped by. This is a much loved, much visited location.
8. Endeavor Escape Rooms
Overall Ratings
5 based on 4 reviews
An escape room is a small room that you must solve puzzles, find clues, and work cooperatively within your group to unlock the exit. You have 60 minutes to find your way out, or the game is lost. You'll be solving a mix of word/number puzzles, electronics, and physical locks in order to escape.

Endeavor has a really unique location, which makes for a cool atmosphere. The room is clever and engaging, it really makes you think. It's so much fun to figure out the puzzles to try to get out! Escape rooms are a great group bonding experience - if you haven't done one yet, you have to try it!

Overall Ratings

The Mission of Wellfield Botanic Gardens is to celebrate the inseparable relationship between water and life, inspire creativity and lifelong learning, foster stewardship of our natural world, and grow community. A Brief History: The Elkhart Rotary Club conceived the Gardens as a community service project in 2002 to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Rotary International. The project was officially handed over to the Wellfield Botanic Gardens Board of Directors in 2005 to begin implementation of the Master Plan. Construction began in 2006 with the first earth-moving work to reshape and reconfigure the ponds. 36 acres in size, half of which are water, Wellfield resides on a historical piece of property originally known as the “North Main Street Well Field.” The property has been a source of hydraulic energy and drinking water for the City of Elkhart since the mid-1800s. Wellfield holds a lease agreement with the City of Elkhart and is a private, 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.

We visited here with a tour group and spent a little over an hour here. The staff here is very friendly and excited about telling the story of the gardens. The gardens are laid out around a lake with different type of plants grouped around the walkway. They are in the process of doing some remodeling and additions which will only elevate the experience. A very peaceful place and worth the visit.
