These gardens are not all in one location. We thought they were. We couldn't even find one of them. We went to the Elkhart visitor center. It was afterhours. No one could help us find even one garden. I don't think this is a good attraction for a family or someone who is trying to cover a lot of ground road tripping in a day. This will add extra miles for sure. We wasted 30-45 minutes just trying to find one. I think they are spread out all over and not one large garden.
My girls (13 and 8) and I enjoyed this statue. Fun photo opp right off the turnpike. The address listed is correct, but for some reason in the Roadtrippers app, if you click to navigate, it takes you to the wrong address. Just copy and paste the address into your map navigator.
It is right by the side of the road, so if you have a small child, the road may be an issue.
Quick stop. Fun to see even in the rain.
Must see this! If you go, take spray paint with you. You can spray paint the cars. We had no idea and thankfully a family that was leaving gave us their leftover spray paint.
We loved this stop! My girls and I were bothered by how much trash there is though. Not sure what could be done to help clean up, but if you have room in your car, take a trash bag and pack some trash out. Great stop!
For us, this was a drive up take a few pics and drive off kind of place. It was a ghost town. We were there after 5pm, so maybe during business hours it is different. Not that exciting, but great photo op.
We thought this was a fun find. Nothing to spend a lot of time at, but fun to get out of the car and see this road side attraction. The world's tallest high boy is very near here as well. It is at the Funitureland store. We accidentally found it, which made this a two for one stop for us.
This was SOOO fun! I was driving across country with my 2 girls (12 and 7). We found this on Roadtrippers and decided it would be a fun stop. It took a bit longer than we thought, so we ended up taking food to go (there are tons of restaurants on Main) afterward and getting back on the road. You will want to check with a local hotel to get information about the mice. At least that is what we did. We stopped at the concierge desk of a hotel that we parked near. They gave us a sheet with clues and information. The mice are small and you will need to be really looking for some of them. Enjoy the hunt! Main street is a fun place as well. Great stop! Totally worth every minute of our time.
We visited with myself and my 2 girls, who were 12 and 7. They enjoyed the trip through the park. Most of the park is driving with stops to get out. They did get a bit bored and wish to drive through bit portions of the park. All of us loved the painted desert. So pretty!
