Outdoor Recreation
There is something about spring where the weather is that perfect temperature, and you just want to spend your day outside. Hendricks County is packed with outdoor entertainment for everybody to enjoy, so bring a light jacket, apply some sunblock and get out there.
This spring, tee off at one of the many golf courses and driving ranges, enjoy some disc golf, pickleball or other alternative sports at one of our many parks, grab your poles and fish at one of our public waterways, experience some time away from it all by meandering along one of our many trails or wander through the spring blooms at Avon Gardens, a regional treasure in Avon.
Indoor Entertainment
Regardless of the spring weather, there are endless indoor entertainment options for the whole family in Hendricks County, including Slick City Action Park, Urban Air Adventure Park and Sky Zone. Each puts its own unique spin on fun and exercise. Hendricks County also has not one but two golf simulator experiences: X Golf Plainfield or Divot Golf Factory in Brownsburg.
Want more family friendly attractions? How about axe throwing at LumberjAXE, bowling at Pinheads, or virtual reality and so much more at Press Play Gaming Lounge? You can even enjoy a dip at the indoor waterpark inside the Richard A. Carlucci Recreation & Aquatic Center or experience an indoor playground at Kids Empire.
DIY Creativity
Looking for something fun and creative to do then check out one of these DIY studios. Gallery on the Square in Danville and Board and Brush in Brownsburg offer a variety of classes, workshops and events.
Or maybe dabble in glass art with glass blowing at Hot Blown Glass in Clayton by appointment only or Fused Fanatic, a glass-fusing studio in Coatesville. Looking for something more kid-friendly? I recommend Brightly Art Studio in Brownsburg or uPaint Pottery Studio in Plainfield.
Fresh Finds
I cannot be the only one who sees spring cleaning as an opportunity for a fresh start, aka a reason to go shopping, This spring break, explore downtown districts and visit small business shops on Plainfield's Main Street or around the historic Hendricks County Courthouse Square in Danville.
Other great shopping options include boutiques like Ella Mae's in Brownsburg, antique and home stores like African Plum Home & More and Gilley's Antique & Decorator Mall in Plainfield or Roots to Wings and Copper Top Customs, just to name a few. The Shops at Perry Crossing, an outdoor shopping and entertainment center, is always a great option to spend an entire day shopping, eating and enjoying a movie or other entertainment.
Outdoor Dining
There is something about spring and finally being able to sit outdoors on a patio, enjoying great company and delicious food that adds an elevated level of springtime fun. Check out these pet friendly, patio dining options too!
And even if the weather doesn't cooperate while you're here for Spring Break, we have so many amazing restaurants you can enjoy indoors, including kid-friendly and gluten-free options.
Live Entertainment
Come celebrate the arts because Hendricks Live! is the place to be this spring. This intimate, state-of-the-art theater is bringing world class entertainment to Hendricks County.
Their lineup of shows include great musical tribute bands, national, award-winning acts and local performances from the Hendricks Civic Theatre and the Hendricks Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.
