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.

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 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.
