3. Brown County State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 819 reviews
Nicknamed the "Little Smokies" because of the area's resemblance to the Great Smoky Mountains, Brown County encompasses nearly 16,000 acres of rugged hills, ridges and fog-shrouded ravines. Glaciers from the most recent ice ages stopped short of the "hills o' Brown," but their meltwaters helped create the narrow ridges, steep slopes and deep gullies of Brown County State Park. Indiana's largest park is a traditional fall color hot spot, with nearly 20 miles of tree-lined roads and many scenic vistas overlooking miles of uninterrupted forestland.

We did the lake trail in just over two hours. Not too many inclines, but too long for little kids and not stroller friendly. The path is one person wide, so it doesn't feel over traveled. The landscape changes too. From traditional Indiana forest to pine covered trail that smells amazing and is surrounded by impossible tall and stick straight pine trees. And of course you get glimpses of the lake the whole way. You do cross several streams and areas of drainage, so if it's rained recently wear appropriate shoes. Some parts of the trail aren't marked super well, but you can use the lake to help guide you.

We live locally, but I had just heard of Zoo’Opolis a few weeks ago. To reserve your spots, you text a phone number.... which normally I prefer to text, but I was a little worried about this procedure. However, I received a text back within 24 hours with clear instructions on what to do for our reserved time slot. It’s important to note that there are inside AND outside activities, so dress for the weather. I would say wearing the correct shoes is most important. It was snowing/spitting rain when we went so the ground was quite muddy. Rain boots, snow boots, boots in general are a good choice. Also, some of the animals will jump (sheep and goats) so wear clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty. We stopped at Aldi on our way to pick up lettuce, grapes, strawberries and apples to feed the animals. You turn those in once you arrive and the staff cleans them, cuts them up, and puts them in bowls for you to take around to the animals. The inside facility is small, but has really nice open habitats for the animals. Everything is very clean and the animals are very happy and social! The lemur runs loose in the inside facility and loves to jump from person to person. Incredibly friendly and the only place I’ve been that allows this kind of interaction with animals. We didn’t feel rushed at all and Hannah was super nice and gave us a lot of information on the animals. We spent at least an hour total in that portion playing with all the animals! The barn is a sweet little spot with an inside wood stove, perfect for a cold day! And this really is the best time to go because the crowds are minimal. I think there were 10 people in our group in total! Also, highly recommend spending the $65 per person on the Ambassador experience so you have the most interaction with all of the animals! The barn houses the horses, zebra, wallabies, a bengal house cat, two skunks, raccoons, and the wolf comes inside. The skunks are the absolute best!! They love to be snuggled and you can sit forever in the rocking chair loving on those babies!! The owner gave us a lot of great information on the wolf and I went away feeling less intimidated by the incredible animal. The last thing we saw was the red fox, and it was ready to be pet!! I couldn’t believe how friendly all of these animals are! They have done a beautiful job loving on the animals and taking care of them. It’s getting harder for me to find activities that teenagers find worthy of leaving their rooms for now days, but both of my kids left saying that was one of the best things they have done and they would love to come back!
