Disclosure: I am receiving accommodations and free tickets to attractions in return for posting about Corydon, Indiana. All opinions, as always, are 100% my own!
I am super excited because this afternoon I will be headed to Corydon, Indiana for a fun filled weekend! Full of caves and caverns that we get to explore, among historical sites and much more, I am excited to see what Corydon has to offer! From Cincinnati, Ohio, Corydon is a little over 2 hours away. This will be my first time visiting. Let me tell you a little bit about some of the places that I will be visiting during my stay.
Hotel
I will be staying at the Holiday Inn in Corydon. I have always had good experiences at Holiday Inns, so I am sure this one will be no different!
Attractions
- Indiana Caverns – Located outside historic Corydon, Indiana, this is Indiana’s Longest Cave. There will be a walking tour with a boat ride, and I will see and learn about diverse ecosystems, ice age bones, an amazing waterfall, various formations, and great heights and depths.
Marengo Caves and Cave Country Canoes – This U.S. National Natural Landmark features walking tours, canoeing and gemstone mining.- Squire Boon Caverns – Squire Boon Caverns is called “A treasure of Indiana history and the American pioneer spirit.” Squire Boone and his brother, Daniel, discovered these caverns in 1790. What a great piece of history!
- Deere Farms – This will include a pumpkin patch, and southern Indiana’s largest corn maze. This runs through November 2nd. I’ve never experienced a corn maze, so this will be my first time doing one.
- Golf Shores – The Golf Shores Fun Center includes black-light indoor mini golf, as well as a video arcade, snack bar, coffee shop and wi-fi lounge.
- State Historic Sites – According to their website, this looks like it includes their Capitol Building, Governor’s Headquarters, Porter Law Office, First State Office Building, and a visit to where the Battle of Corydon happened.
Dining
- Point Blank Brewing – This independently owned restaurant and microbrewery opened in the fall of 2012 and is located in the historic downtown area of Corydon.
Butt Drugs, Inc. – This is a soda fountain, shop, and pharmacy rolled into one! It has been open since 1952.
Shopping
- Kentjava Bar – A family owned coffee shop that serves fresh coffee, espresso, hot chocolate, teas and other gourmet coffees, as well as fresh pastries.
- Old Town Store – This 4,000 square foot store has lots of thriftiques.
- Lil Rap Gift Shop – This is your one stop shop for gifts, flowers, jewelry, purses, collegiate items, home decorations, and more.
- Town Square Gallery – Located in the historic part of Corydon, they are the place to go for your gift giving needs.
- Little Texas Consignments – Offers new and uses clothing and furniture, as well as saddles and tack.

I’m a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn’t change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!
We haven’t been to that one in Indiana, but we love to go spelunking when we have the chance. We’ve been to great ones in Iowa and Alabama!
Those caverns look amazing, and a corn maze sounds like the perfect fall outing.
That sounds like it’s going to be a fun adventure!!! I can’t wait to hear all about it.
I’ve never been to caverns before. This is one my wish list. My husband has gone and says that it is so amazing, so he wants to take me.
Ooh! This looks like fun! I love cave exploring and these ones look incredible. I can’t wait to see your pictures!
This looks like such a super cool place to visit. I would love to bring my kids there one day; thanks for sharing this will go on my bucket list of things to do… I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures
Oh my goodness those caves look amazing and that drug store is super cool— just like the 50’s. 😀 My parents would love visiting that place.
Looks like a neat place. Can’t wait to hear about your travels.
I didn’t know they had caves and caverns so close to me! I don’t live that far away, will put Corydon on my must-see list.

Oh my goodness, sounds like a fabulous trip. I had no clue they offered so much. Can’t wait to hear how it goes
You know, I live so close to Indiana, but I never knew about any of these places. The caverns look really cool!
Corydon, Indiana looks like a great place to visit and have fun. I think I would really enjoy the caverns.
My family loved Warren Dunes before it got shut down, but I never knew about any of these other places. Thanks for the heads up on stuff in my back yard! LOL.
I have never been to IN. I can’t wait to hear how your trip goes!
You’re going to have an amazing time. Take lots of pictures of all that cavern magic!
Oh wow. I love posts for states like Indiana that don’t get the hype of other states. EVERYBODY knows about Carlsbad caverns and the grand canyon, but there’s great stuff in EVERY state. We just don’t know about it!
I cannot agree more!
Sounds like an awesome adventure awaits! The caverns looks really cool!
Those caves are SO cool! I have never been to see anything like that, and I know I would love it!

I love exploring caverns! Always so neat!
Hope you enjoyed your trip! I live about 1.5 hours away from Corydon and did work at the Corydon Capitol SHS this summer. It’s a cute little town.
Wow, small world! I had a great time – I can’t wait to go back again. It’s a very cute town! I’m so glad I only live about 2.5 hours from it.
I would love to visit the caverns. Have a great trip.
Sounds like you are going to have a fun time. I remember visiting some caves with my mom when I was young. I have always wanted to do that with my kids too.
Corydon was an adorable town – not nearly as small as I thought it was going to be, either! Had hoped to run into you at one of the caves or events to say hi, but maybe next time.
