For a simple park, this one has some things going for it, playgrounds, basketball, nice paved trail, creek to throw rocks in, lots of space of you just want to chill out. Great for many things. Its pretty well maintained and occupied so it doesn't feel like a deserted dump like how most parks turn out

I love this orchard, I start going as soon as they open and keep going till weather is cold. They always have the best produce, fresh garden veggies. Wonderful apples and a great concession stand. In September they have hayrides, play things for the kids and the fun goes on till October. The owners and everyone who works there are so friendly. A great place to take your family

I love this place for 2 reasons. #1 it's an all Doctor Who store, #2 it's only 2 hours from my house! If you love the Doctor you will love this gem. They host a Doctoberfest the last Saturday in October and it's fun! They have a small museum of Doctor Who collectibles.The store is full of Who goodies from DVDs to cosplay clothes. You can buy all this stuff online but why when you can go and get it there. They have easy parking and it's easy to get to, just outside of Indianapolis.
5. Lucas Oil Raceway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 39 reviews
Lucas Oil Raceway is home to the most historic drag strip in the world, a fan-favorite short track paved oval, and a 2.5 mile road course. Each year, the US Nationals (currently the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals) comes to Lucas Oil Raceway over Labor Day weekend. This event is the largest drag race in the world which will see more than 100,000 guests and close to 1,000 competitors. Ticket prices vary by day and seating location. The US Nationals is truly a sensory overload when the Top Fuel Dragsters and Nitro Funny Cars reach speeds of over 320 MPH in only 1000 feet of track. Wear ear protection and sun screen since the cars are loud and the sun is hot! Throughout the rest of the year, the track features a amateur race night most Wednesdays where anyone can race their own car down the drag strip, called Wild Wednesday. The track will also feature the ARCA Racing Series, CRA Series, USAC, Mazda Road to Indy (Pro Mazda/USF2000), Summit ET Bracket Series Division 3 Finals, Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, NMCA (National Muscle Car Association), Hot Rod Drag week, and more! Visit our website for all event information.

Every square inch is crammed with inflatables and arcade games, which is the point, right? However, it's a little uncomfortable for parents watching their kids as the seating area has old, hard chairs and it's cramped. Some of the inflatables could use some cleaning also. The kids had fun.

I can't say enough about this city park. So convenient for the town.
It began 40 + years ago as a gravel walking trail (path) though some acreage. My father in law used to walk there after his open heart surgery in the early 1970's. It's come a long, long way! Roads, trails, bridges, baseball fields, soccer fields, picnic tables, shelter houses and I can't forget the great swimming pool and now a zip line..wow!
The local "Old Sellers Picnic" was moved there from the Old Town Park several years ago for the extra room and is held there each year in August. Many other functions are held there as well.
Many locals go there to get their daily walks in and view the birds and wild life.
I'm not sure of the mileage around the park by the trails but it's about 3 miles if you do all of the areas. There are newer memorial park benches that add a nice touch of both young and old who have been local residences.
Take your family, take a picnic lunch, call the park about rental for a shelter house.
Enjoy self..it's the best!

We've ridden horses during an hour-long guided tour twice now at this place & each time we had a blast! The horses are very well trained and the young female guide was sweet, patient and experienced. Trail was even, quiet, shady. Friendly people. Real farm setting. Highly recommended for all ages!

Finally! I can go to a late afternoon or evening movie and have a diet decaffeinated drink! Also, love that the seat arms raise for easier hand holding. Great leg room too. Definitely our favorite theater!
