There is something for everyone to discover, whether it is a chance encounter with Lady Luck on the riverboat Casino Aztar, a brisk hike along the Riverfront promenade, a step into history at Angel Mounds State Historic Site, fun with the family at Kid's Kingdom or an escape to verdant Pigeon Creek Greenway Passage.

We try to go to at least a half-dozen Otters games each summer, frequently with our daughter, son-in-law and now teenage grandson. He comes for the food...we come for seeing the game played mostly out of pure love of the game by the teams (heaven knows Frontier League isn't about the money or really any true chance at making it to the 'Big Leagues'). Bosses Field is iconic (check out the movie, A League of Their Own, it was filmed there. Only complaint is while it is very inexpensive to attend the games, the food and drink are prices right up there with the Big League concessions The crowds are too frequently very sparse and I really believe a lot more families could be brought in with a promotion of a ticket, a hot dog or burger, chips and a drink for $10. That's still a big chunk for young families but for a whole evening's entertainment where one can virtually let their kids loose and explore the grandstands plus cluster down at the fence by the bullpens and dugouts and actually talk to the players, all in a safe, family-friendly environment.

This isn’t your average outing or everyday experience—Breakout is for those who would rather solve mysteries than watch someone else have all the fun. With different rooms that follow unique story-lines, you and your friends will have 60 minutes to escape your adventure of choice by cracking codes, solving puzzles and following clues. Part problem solving, part adrenaline, end-to-end fun!

This was our first escape room ever, very challenging and fun. The instructors were very informative and you can request hints, which is awesome when you are stumped.

We go to every zoo on our road trips that we can. This small zoo is run by the City of Evansville and is a gem. We went on the Friday of the 4th of July week and expected larger crowds, but it was not crowded at all. They don't give a AAA discount but our admission for both of us was $19. Their grounds are kept immaculately. Free parking. Clean rest rooms. Really great restaurant grill for food, no sweet stands and only one souvenir store which is unusual for most zoos. So no constant opportunities for kids to beg for goodies. We got to feed the giraffes for only $2!!, attended a free rhino talk, and we got to see them feed the jaguar. There are lots of filtered water stations thoughout the park. Really a great half day activity.

Quick thing: No, I did not go in January 2021 or 2020, it had no other options. Almost every year, my summer camp (about 20 people) goes there every other Tuesday. It's such a great place, always easy to socialize with friends and have fun. Just be prepared to do a lot of walking. Burdette is a huge place and there is tons of concrete. The waterslide you must take a tube and walk with it up a big hill. To get to the other sides of the pool without swimming, you'll have to walk all around the pool. This isn't a bad thing though while walking around you might see things you want to get or try, and they have beautiful trees surrounding the area. The bathrooms are OK, could be a bit better for the smell and water almost everywhere... Lockers are very helpful and free open chairs are nice. The large umbrellas are very relaxing to stay under on a hot day, too. Music plays, and it really brings you back to old summers. I recommend going there with large groups, especially friends. Seriously an amazing place to be.

Located in Downtown Evansville, Indiana, The Koch Family Children's Museum of Evansville (cMoe) offers over 18,000 square feet of galleries and exhibits, housed in a beautiful historic Art Deco building once home to the public library.

Children (and their parents) are encouraged to play hands-on with galleries and exhibits. Popular favorites include performing a play in the 5th Street Theater, splashing in the Wet Deck, climbing through Moe the two-story duck, playing the laser harp, acting like a booger in a giant nose, and chatting with the talking Mark Twain bust. cMoe is located within walking distance to downtown restaurants and other attractions.

We had a fun visit here with our four year old and 18 month old. There was plenty to keep both of our children occupied! Some favorites were the water room, toddler pyramid, and play garden. We noticed several new displays since our last visit over a year ago. The displays and toys all seemed very clean and well cared for, too. This is a lovely place to bring your children to, tuck your phone/devices away, and just play together! The one complaint we had about our visit is that while we were there, there was a group of birthday party kids that got a bit rowdy. Some older kids from the group (12 or 13 years old) were full-speed running through rooms and jumping off displays as they played chase; they almost ran into my daughter’s stroller and I had to say some thing to them. I don’t blame the museum for the behavior of these kids, but perhaps they could have an employee monitor the second and third floors (where this happened) a bit more to help prevent such instances. However, this definitely will not deter us from coming back, as such a thing can and does happen at any venue for kids!
