Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or just looking for something new and fun to do with the family this weekend, Hamilton County, Indiana, has plenty to explore. Here are a few places where you can spend a great day with your family nearby.
Monon Trail
You don’t have to spend a lot of cash to have a good time with the kids in Hamilton County. There are plenty of trails to explore in the area, but Monon Trail might be one of the most fun and family-friendly. This 26-mile trail stretches from Sheridan all the way down to Massachusetts Avenue in Indianapolis. The entire path is paved, which makes it a great trail for riding your bikes. If your kids are older, try taking on the entire trail for a whole day of fun and exploration.
White River Canoe Company
When the sun is out, head to the White River Canoe Company in Noblesville to take out a couple of rafts or canoes on the river. This river outfitter will provide you and your family with the gear you need to travel down the White River for anywhere from 5 to 18 miles, depending on how much time you want to spend in the water. This is a great way to get a unique view of the area’s natural beauty and have fun while you do it.
Kiln Creations
If your family is the creative type, head to Kiln Creations for a unique experience. At Kiln Creations, you and your guest will sit down to paint a piece of pottery. There are hundreds of pieces to choose from. Choose your colors and start painting your cup, decoration, planter, etc. When you come back in seven days, you’ll have a glazed and fired piece of pottery with your design — the perfect memento of your time together.
Forest Park
Noblesville’s Forest Park is an excellent destination if you’re looking for an easy way to have a good day together. There are many activities to take advantage of at Forest Park, from taking on the mini-golf course to cooling off in the swimming pool. Pack a picnic to refuel for lunchtime and take a couple of Instagram-worthy photos at the carousel. Forest Park always offers opportunities for fun.
The Escape Room
If you have older kids with senses of adventure, check out The Escape Room. As its name suggests, it’s another escape room business that pits you and your family against some serious puzzles. Work together to find clues that will allow you all to escape the room in an hour or less. Each of the escape room has a backstory and theme, such as Escape From the Titanic, a Revolutionary War history-based room, and the spooky Night at the Castle. The themes rotate, so be sure to check again to see what’s new at The Escape Room.
