Bellaboo's Play and Discovery Center

Reviewed By Heather H - Hobart, Indiana

My 7 year old loves this place and always has. However, it needs a good scrub down. The amount of dust on the carpeted walls of the slide/ball pit area is disgusting. Each of the areas has great activities. My daughter especially loves the pizzeria/grocery/house area. The water room leaks into the construction room so beware of wet carpet!!

Edge Adventures NW Indiana - Deep River

Edge Adventures are treetop trails ranging from 16-60 feet in the air. Participants choose their own self guided course and engage in a combination of obstacles and zip lines as they maneuver their way through different trails with a progressive degree of challenges. There are thrills to satisfy all adventure types!

Recently went to Edge Adventures for my birthday with a group of friends. Loved the different course options (we had people who are afraid of heights and people who are more dare-devil like in our group) and that we could go at our pace. We had a very fun experience and it was something different for everyone to try.

The place is very nice. A real enjuyable afternoon.
Trains are great!
Animals are fun.
Beautiful surroundings.
Great flowers.
My beef, the cost. I thought at $8 a head it is way overpriced. I think $10 per car would bring them lots more people.
I'm from Chicago. Morton arboretum and the Botanic Gardens are much nicer and I think both free?
We, as a group kept going 3? 4? all afternoon. I could not get over the price, sorry. It is a lovely place and no matter what your age you will have a nice afternoon.

Michael Jackson Family Home

Reviewed By MrMikeandCarrie - Hawthorn Woods, Illinois

It's interesting to see the roots. Contrary to what you may read here, the neighborhood is not scary and dangerous. It's only about a mile off the Skyway and well worth a quick detour. There are no guided tours and it is not q museum. Go! If you think this neighborhood is sketchy it's probably best that you stay in your lily white suburbs in your gated community.

Face it, who expects to see a gem of nature so close to an industrial and rail hub in Indiana but this is surely one.

Hike the trails, enjoy the lake views,and beaches. If you are still able to be,awed by the beauty of nature this place is worth a visit.

Reviewed By Jamie K

Picturesque views from all angles, great for easy walking, photo ops, and exploring. Interesting historical mill, nice gift shop. Little bridges to cross, serene views along the winding Deep River, syrup building and old time baseball, and trails in the back. Definately worth an hour or two of your time.

We spent about 4 hours at Deep River and could have easily spent another two hours. The lines were manageable, and moved quickly. The floats and tubes provided were all in good condition. The restrooms were spotless. The only negatives is that the food selection...MoreTHANKS & appreciated! ?☀️?
