Breeze Flights to Evansville, IN From $64*

Evansville is a quaint town built next to the snaking Ohio River right on the border of Indiana and Kentucky. Centered between several large cities including St. Louis, Nashville, Louisville, and Indianapolis, and two national forests, it’s a great jumping-off-point to explore the Midwest. However, Evansville has plenty to see and do in its own right.  

 Have an active morning visiting one of the many beautiful green spaces in the area. Angel Mounds State Historic Site is a fun place to hike around near the river and discover Native American culture. Learn about the park’s 12 preserved native ceremonial sites. Wesselman Woods also has plenty of serene pathways to check out. One of the largest urban forests in the country, it provides a pocket of nature that feels worlds away. The trees are especially stunning in the spring when they bloom and in the fall when the leaves change colors. 

Immerse yourself in culture and the arts as you continue your day. Stop by the Evansville Museum and experience rotating art, history, and science exhibitions. Make sure to visit the Koch Immersive Theater & Planetarium to get a glimpse of the stars in the night sky or watch a nature documentary on a massive domed screen. If you have time, the Mesker Park Zoo offers a fun look at conservation and hundreds of different animals. It also has a sprawling botanical garden to enjoy. 

The nearby USS LST-325 Ship Memorial is another fascinating place, featuring a monument to a tank landing ship used in World War II. Discover interactive displays, rare memorabilia, special exhibits, artifacts, and more with tours running all year long. Or step back in time and learn about wartime production at the Evansville Wartime Museum. Check out the home-manufactured P-47 Sherman tank and other WWII relics at this hangar-turned-emporium. 

 Finish the evening grabbing a bite downtown with views of the waterfront and the skyline. Choose from a variety of restaurants serving burgers, sandwiches, pasta, sushi, and more. You may also enjoy a local bar crawl through the city. A couple of our favorite spots include Pangea Kitchen, serving up Neapolitan pizza and handmade ramen, and Entwined, where expertly curated wines and hand-crafted cocktails take center stage. 

Afterwards, cheer on the Evansville Otters at Bosse Field, one of the oldest baseball stadiums in operation. It’s not every day you get to visit a ballpark that’s been in continuous use since 1915 (and starred in A League of Their Own). Experience major-league spirit tucked into a small-town setting, where vintage charm meets modern-day fandom.
