If you’re not heading south to Florida for spring break, you can still find spring break fun by heading south (south of Indy, that is).

Here are the top things to do over spring break in Festival Country Indiana:

Catch a movie. The Historic Artcraft Theatre in Franklin is one-of-a-kind. This single-screen theatre offers an amazing moviegoing experience, with pre-show skits, locally grown popcorn, contests and, of course, classic movies.

Say cheese. Explore the more than 35 murals, the two Instagram-worthy alleys, and the Top 10 Selfie Spots throughout Festival Country. 

Visit a museum. Festival Country is home to Johnson County Museum of History in Franklin, which features exhibits tracing the local history from its beginnings to the 1950s. 

Race away. Rascal's Fun Zone is the place for indoor and outdoor go-karts, an arcade, mini golf, bumper boats, mini bowling and more. If you're looking for an adrenaline rush, visit K1 Circuit Whiteland to race go-karts that go up to 45 miles per hour.

Rock and roll. Bask in the nostalgia of roller rink days at Franklin Skate Club.


Try axe throwing. Festival Country is home to Draft Day Pub axe throwing in Greenwood.

Enjoy mini bowling. At 10 Pins Franklin, you can experience mini bowling, which uses smaller balls and shorter lanes. They also have arcade games.

Create something. Festival Country is home to uPaint Pottery Studio and Kiln Creations (paint your own pottery), Board & Brush (make a board sign), and Painting with a Twist (painting, candle making and other crafts).

Might as well jump. Check out Urban Air Adventure Park in Franklin, an indoor adventure park featuring attractions like the sky rider, warrior obstacle course, climbing walls, warrior battle beam, trampolines, ropes course, tubes, slam dunk zone, dodgeball courts and more.

Have a tea party. Experience a traditional English tea setting at Sassafras Tea Room complete with decorative tea pots and cups, finger sandwiches and treats.

Treat yourself. Find your new favorite sweet treat by exploring the more than two dozen spots on the Sweets Trail.

And, if the weather cooperates, enjoy outdoor attractions like disc golf courses, skate parks, mini golf courses, and more. You can also take a self-guided walking tour by clicking here or picking up a printed map at the visitor center.
