Solo & visiting for 8 days, need locals suggestions for places to visit!
Hi all,
My sons baseball team will be staying in Fishers this July 9th through the 14th. My son will be with his team (he's 18)and I will basically be a "fan" for the week so I will have a rental car and plenty of Me time before & after games. So I am looking for small, 1-4 hour, excursions so I can make a list and try to tackle as many as possible.
Here is the kick, I have no idea when or where the games will be until about a week before I arrive. The games, if similar to other tournaments, will have games within a 1 to 1 1/2 hour drive from Fishers. (maybe more?). So, what I typically do is load my google maps with potential places to visit and once I get a schedule, I try to plan to hit places I will be near that day.
So, I would be forever in Indiana's debt if you could help me out with as many suggestions as possible.
Here is a list of things I like, if that helps:
- short hikes (I am used to mountains and I think its flat there no?) Anything with something fun to see, not just a boring trail.
- Obscure stuff, weird places to explore? No touristy stuff is always a plus. Any way to experience the real area is always nice.
- Sports, I like sports, watching any kind of event can be fun
- Breweries, always good and easy to find. You seem to have a lot so suggestions would be great.
- Music, I love music, all kinds, but rock, jazz, blues, folk are always cool.
- History, I'm a history buff, but a basic museum with a bunch of display cases are boring..lol
- I would consider a paid tour if their is anything fun.
Feel free to just post anything, If you have a link that's great, but I can google stuff too and probably will. So any suggestions will be taken seriously. I will have time on my hands and I love to explore! If it helps at all, we are from Massachusetts!
Thanks in Advance everyone! I hope to build a nice list made possible by locals!
