Finally! Spring Break is here!
The month of March marks one of the biggest vacation times of the year. For students and their families, Spring break is an opportunity to spend together and relax! However, it's not always possible to travel away for a vacation. As a Purdue student, I definitely understand that! But staying home doesn't mean missing all the fun! You can stay close to home and still enjoy all the excitement of spring break.
There's a ton of great things to check out on your "stay-cation" here in Lafayette!
Just a quick drive away! Looking for somewhere close to visit? The Wabash and Erie Canal located in Delphi, Indiana, is a great option for someone interested in the outdoors and history. Make the quick 20 minute drive to the canal and experience the scenic river boat ride, the museum, and the replica Pioneer village!
Bowling fever! Lafayette-West Lafayette has 4 bowling centers all awaiting guests to enjoy this inexpensive, family fun entertainment; Mike Aulby’s Arrowhead Bowl, Market Square Lanes, Purdue Union Rack & Roll, and Landmark Lanes.
In the mood for something artistic? You've got to check out Inspired Fire! Shannon Owens, owner and operator, creates and sells beautiful pieces of glass artistry. But the best part is, they also offer classes! Stop in and learn how to create your own beads, ornaments, and more!Golf in winter? Check out Monster Mini Golf, an indoor 18-hole glow-in-the-dark golf course. Along with mini golf, there are arcade games, glow-in-the-dark air hockey table and ticket redemption games such as ice ball. While there are monsters all around the course - don't worry, they're friendly!

Looking to see something truly unique? Did you know that Lafayette has a doll museum? Pop into Marquis' Dolls Museum and Restoration to do something exciting and new! Marquis' is home to over XXX dolls and collectables.
