What to do and see in Evansville, Indiana (IN): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

August 4, 2021 Madelene Haan

Situated on a gentle bend of the Ohio River at the hub between Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, Evansville is a sizable metropolis with small town friendliness. 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.

Evansville African American Museum

Reviewed By Doublej317 - Indianapolis, United States

I found this little gem of history while I had 4 hours until game time. It was a great little piece of history and so many facts that I did not know- and I live in IN. The tour was great & the items on display were amazing to see! Well worth Free parking & $5 entry fee & took about 1 1/2 hours!

For being in a mid-size town the museum is of first-class quality. The railroad exhibit is well worth visiting. The museum caters to both the adult and the child

Reitz Home Museum

Reviewed By kmeador02 - Louisville, United States

We visited here on our first trip to Evansville. It was amazing. Hands down one of the best historic house museums we’ve visited. The guide was knowledgeable and passionate and graciously answered all our questions. The home is out-of-this-world incredible. A must-see if you’re anywhere near this quaint town.

Carson's Brewery

Reviewed By apriles982 - Evansville, United States

Hi Mike and Aprile here! We love our local business, Carson's Brewery... great place to sample a couple of craft and guest brew flights (Mike really likes the Brown Cow and Harlot, Aprile also likes the fruit beers), kick back with family and friends on the weekend while listening to the tunes of live music entertainment for the evening (7-10 pm). They have had some really good music events on the weekend to enjoy, either sitting out by the fire (our favorite place to kick back under the stars when there) or inside the taproom! Enjoyed the music entertainment by CurtNRod, Hudsy, Smith and Rome, and Dueling Guitars just to name a few. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming. The brewery is pet friendly... our little Mia the yorkipoo is a great fan of Carson's! We typically pick up a Stromboli and chips from our favorite little Twisted Tomato on the way to enjoy at Carson's and bring a few bar snacks with us (Chex mix, mixed nuts, pretzels) to munch on during the evening. Would highly recommend you give this little gem in Evansville a try! You too will become a regular at Carson's.
