Love art & theater?
There is always something beautiful to see in Greater Lafayette. If you love art, the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette and the Tippecanoe Arts Federation (TAF) are musts. TAF has an events calendar. You should also check out the town’s local theaters, like the Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette to find high-quality theater classes and shows, and be sure to check out the big-name shows that come to the area with Purdue Convocations.
Or, for a more casual evening of art appreciation, stroll downtown Lafayette or campus to discover fabulous works of outdoor art.
Into nature?
Take the whole family for a “howl” at Wolf Park, an incredible nature preserve where you can interact with real wolves. Or, explore the Columbian Park Zoo to meet some of the world’s diverse inhabitants.
Are you a history buff?
Indulge your inner scholar in Lafayette – West Lafayette, home to some of the state’s most important historical sites.
