What to do in Evansville, Indiana - CHEAP

Spring has officially SPRUNG!  That means that the sun will be shining, temperatures will be rising and those that have had the winter Blahs will be ready to get out and about!

Being the bargain hunter that I am, what better way to make memories than to save money, too!

Here are my favorite things to do in Evansville:

MESKER PARK ZOO

Open 9:00 am - 4pm daily, Mesker Park offers fun for all ages.  Vanderburgh residents get a $1 discount!

My advice:  Become a Member!   Not only do you get to enjoy the benefits of the zoo anytime for one price, but you get to enjoy free tram rides and free or discounted admission to many zoos and aquariums that are members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.  

No matter how many times we go, we always see something new and have a blast exploring.

LST Memorial 325

The LST 325 has been a labor of love to bring the ship to Evansville.  The ship is fully restored and is in "ship shape" - as it was in it's proud warship days.  

A sense of American pride will overwhelm you as you take a tour throughout the ship - which includes the Main Deck, Troop Berthing, Tank Deck, Mess Deck, Galley, Stern of ship (Guns and Anchor), Wheel House, Officer's Country and the Captain's Cabin. It includes 3 sets of stairs down and 3 sets of stairs up.  Great for kids of all ages, however, it will be difficult for individuals with health problems or baby strollers.  (just my opinion)

Children's Museum of Evansville

The Children's Museum of Evansville (CMOE) is a great place to let the kiddos run and have fun.  There are so many interactive exhibits that adults may find themselves having as much fun as the kiddos.  

My advice:  Become a member!  Not only do you get free admission to the wonderful exhibits of the museum, special invitations to fun events, discounts to birthday parties and camps, but you also get discounts or free admission to other museums nationwide with their reciprocal program.
