Extensive orchards, intriguing museums and fascinating natural rock formations of its caves serve as the itinerary of any traveller visiting the state of Indiana. Located towards the Midwestern and Great Lakes region of the US, the bustling state of Indiana gets thronged by nature and adventure lovers all year round.
Photographic locations mixed with the warmth of its locals, or ' The Hoosiers', makes touring Indiana a blissful escapade. Whether it is the collection of vintage and antique cars at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum or the impressive artefacts displayed at The Children's Museum, each exhibition truly captures the spirit of their native culture.
If you are someone who prefers outdoor adventures over historical expeditions, then you can bike along the trail of Cardinal Greenway, or go fishing at Buffalo Trace Park, or feel the adrenaline rush by trying zip lining. One can spend a fun-packed family weekend by first riding the roller coasters at the themed park of Holiday World and Splashin' Safari, and then heading to Indianapolis Zoo to marvel at the wildlife housed there.
For those who enjoy photographing the natural scenery, Indiana has the perfect panoramas. The list starts from the sandy dune formations at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and ends with the rocky terrains of Marengo Cave National Landmark. If you are in luck, you can get to witness one of the many quintessential local festivals, like Chocolate Fest of February and Indiana Wine Fair of May.
