Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Garden, spanning on 50 acres of scenic surroundings, in the north-west side of the city, home to more than 700 animals and thousands of exotic botanic species, from all over the world, including from Amazonia, Africa, Asia, Australia and North America.

Angel Mounds State Historic Site, ationally recognized as one of the best preserved prehistoric Native American sites in the United States, today, serving as a popular summer camping site, which focuses exclusively on the Native American culture that once thrived at Angel Mounds, where outdoor enthusiasts can participate in activities and games that teach them the basics of living off the land – how to identify native plants and their uses, how to make and use tools from basic natural resources, and, of course, how to train and hunt like a warrior. The admission fees start from $95.

 

Koch Family Children's Museum Of Evansville, a wonderful place where the little ones can learn about themselves and the world that surrounds them through play, make friends, have fun and enjoy themselves. The museum features the Freedom Gallery, which is a multi-media space which includes a performance stage for storytellers, small musical groups and other performance artists, a playable laser harp, an historic dollhouse that was donated by a resident of Henderson, KY, a Mark Twain talking head that lets them play with words and sentences, and many, many other surprises.
