Culver might just be Indiana's friendliest small town.
We suggest stopping in at Main Street Studio and Jonathan's Fine Art & Antiques to get your art fix. You could spend hours lost in Culver's #1 antique shop!
Have lunch at the Lakehouse Grille on Lake Shore Drive, and top it off with a root beer float from The Original Root Beer Stand.
These aren't your only choices, of course- there's plenty of local spots to choose from. One could spend their entire Saturday simply browsing Main Street and Lake Shore Drive. They're chock-full of shops and things to see!
Spend the night at the famous Culver Cottage Bed & Breakfast, which you'll stumble upon while strolling Main Street.
This gorgeous lake is the second-largest in Indiana, and there are so many activities to choose from that it's hard to pick just a few! Boating, fishing, hiking, walking, swimming - there's something for everyone at this awesome lake.
Rent a boat and sail the day away, stopping only to picnic on the blissful shore.
If boat rental isn't your thing, you can also simply hit the beach and lounge. What's better than a day at the beach? The beaches in Culver are going to be a little more low-key than a busy day by the sea. It's perfect for relaxation!
Once you've had your fill of the water, check out the Culver-Union Township Public Library.
There are almost always fun activities going on for every member of the family. The library acts as a hub for the community, offering plenty of resources for both citizens and visitors.
Finish out your exciting (and maybe a little exhausting) second day of exploration by enjoying dinner at Culver’s famous Papa’s restaurant. There are rumors that Papa’s has the best pizza in Indiana. Do they, though? That’s up to you!
Culver is easy to find; it’s ten minutes off the US-31, just two hours north of Indianapolis and two hours southeast of Chicago. They pride themselves on being friendly and the perfect home away from home that you’ve been craving.
