Top Amusement Parks in Indiana

If you are a visitor or on vacation, you must not miss the many exciting amusement parks in Indiana. In this picturesque state you will discover amusement parks, theme parks, family fun centers and more. No matter where you are in the state, there is a park within reasonable distance. One of the most popular parks in Indiana is called Indiana Beach. Easily reachable from cities like Indianapolis and even nearby Chicago, Illinois, Indiana Beach features fun rides and attractions for the entire family.

Roller coaster enthusiasts will love the park's five thrilling coasters. One of them is called the Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain, which is a wooden roller coaster that is as distinctive as it is exciting. Of course, there are lots of other rides as well. Kiddyland is designed for the park's younger visitors. There are lots of fun yet tame rides for youngsters and the more heart-pounding Frog Hopper for older kids. Indiana Park also has a water park and fun games and events. Here you will find everything you expect from a theme park and more.

Another great park is called the Fun Spot Amusement Park, which has been operating for 52 years and remains one of Indiana's top attractions. This park is located in the city of Angola. The cool thing about Fun Spot is that it is an amusement park and a zoo. In addition to tons of fun rides there are also lots of exotic animals to see. Instead of going to both a zoo and an amusement park, you only have to go to Fun Spot to get the best of both worlds! Fun Spot also has an arcade, restaurants and shops.

If you are looking for fun in the water, head to Splash Down Dunes which is located in the city of Porter. Those in need of quiet relaxation will love the Lazy River. You can get on your raft and enjoy floating around in the gently moving water. For little ones, there's Dolphin Cove. Thrill seekers will truly enjoy the Black Cobra Tube Slides. Surfing enthusiasts should check out the Big Wave, which is the biggest wave pool in the Midwestern United States.
