We are locals and purchased a 50 visit pass. What a mistake. I have 10 visits left, and I don't cars to return. First, you cannot take coolers into the water park. I can understand a rule about glass containers, but to completely ban coolers is ludicrous. Next, we were forced to purchase meals from the concession stand. OMG we waited in a short line for over 45 minutes. The staff is completely incompetent. I had to repeat my order over and over. When our food was ready it was I edible. The hot dogs and hamburgers were ice cold. They didn't eve try heating them in the microwave. We watched them pour nacho cheese from a large can into a bowl, then scoop the cold cheese onto cold chips. They overcharged us as we'll. upon complaining to management we were told that the state outsources the concessions to a private firm. Whoever hired this company should be fired. We will never return. I'll eat the unused tickets.

1. Water park was closed two days after we got there (except for weekends). We arrived on Saturday and left Thursday. So we spent one rainy afternoon there. 2. The "working" farm wasn't working. No one there to even talk to and ask. Kids were so disappointed. Inside of the house was gross with moldy coffee grounds and filth on table. Finally found someone on the day before we were leaving in a barn and they couldn't be bothered with us. We did get to pet the barn cat. Lame. 3. There is not much exciting to do in central Indiana unless you want to drive a couple of hours. We found the Columbian Park Zoo in Lafayette which is nice but then went to downtown Lafayette and found next to nothing to do. A lot of it is closed down. Went to Wolf Park and it is overpriced. Went to Delphi hoping for a canal boat ride but they only run on weekends.

A visit to a working farm, bike trails in open prairie land and an abundance of birds. Also a very nice campground and pool.

We are BIG fans of this state park. It has never been busy when we visit. We try to go on a weekday. We take a picnic and there are fantastic shelters or tables right in the middle of the play areas. We take 5 kids ranging from 2-8. Once we finish our picnic we can just let them play. I am a big fan of finding places where we do not have to constantly tell them "NO!" Next, we go to the aquatic park to cool down and have fun. We really enjoy ourselves. If you are looking for a swimming pool this is not the place for you. But they have a great area for small children, a lazy river, slides and water basketball. Lots of seating and umbrellas. Once again we purposely go on a weekday so it is not crowded. We usually visit the concession during the mandatory get out of the water time...but just for an ice cream or Italian Ice. So I have no review on food because we are not there to eat. They do have lifejackets and very spacious and clean restrooms/changing areas. We have visited the little working farm. It is nice but not someplace you will spend a lot of time. Our small kids enjoy it but farm life is nothing new to them! The trails are very nice. We can even take my wheelchair bound father and strollers on them. If you are interested in spending time and having a relaxing "no" free space are to be with family. I recommend! If you require a lot of thrills and need to purchase food/entertainment it may not be for you.

We visited this park during a 4 day 3 night camping trip during our first ever visit here. I was pleasantly surprised and extremely pleased with this park. It is small compared to other parks, however we were busy the entire trip. Let me break down various aspects: Aquatic Center - 5*** - Fun, Fun, Fun! $3.00 per person or you can use your pool passes ( we buy passes as its $50 x 25 entries & never expire. You Can use at any IN state park pool. Tip - wait and go after 3:00 as crowds will thin out and if you stay till 5:00 or later will have pool practically to yourself. Pool open until 7:00.Paved bike/walk trail - WOW AWESOME! 5**** attraction in park! The park is mostly flat, trail is wide and great for good family bike rides! Campgrounds - 5**** - we stayed at full hookup site, so nice! We had large site,165, it was full Sun, but had huge grass area to play in, so nice trade off. Park is full of Birds...they are EVERYWHERE, so if you are a birder, this is a park to visit. Electric sites are out in open and full Sun and are not as nice as the full hookup sites. Nice shower house, clean, very hot water. Huge playground for kids.Hiking -2** - this park does not have great hiking, only 4 trails and only 1 really that hikes through woods. Although we love to hike we enjoyed other aspects of the park this trip and didn't let it dampen our experience.Playgrounds - this park has several nice BIG playground areas /picnic areas for family enjoyment. Even if you don't camp, pack a picnic, find a playground that has picnic tables, enjoy lunch while kids play, then take in the Aquatic Center.

Prophetstown State Park is located near Lafayette, Indiana. It is the location of the Indian village of the same name that was connected to the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. (The battle field is located close by.) It is one of Indiana's newest state parks. Its newness is apparent. Facilities and infrastructure have a fresh look. The aquatic center is only about a year old. It has a pool and water slides. It also encompasses Historic Prophetstown, a functioning small-scale, horse-powered, sustainable farm. The park's property is still being developed; the plan is to transform 2/3 of the park into tall grass prairie with other native plants. Picnic areas are very pleasing. The park has a nice campground: 110 sites, half are fully electric. A comfort station is available. The park has five trails (including one through Historic Prophetstown museum) and a bike/hiking trail. Most of the trails follow open rolling grasslands but a couple trails take the visitor along the Wabash and Tippecanoe Rivers. We enjoyed our visit very much. The facilities were excellent. The only drawback is the lack of a camp store. This state park would be a very good place to visit and explore for a day trip or for a few days while camping. Also located nearby are Purdue University, the Tippecanoe Battle Field and Museum, and Lafayette Courthouse, Tippecanoe County Historical Association, a restored section of the Wabash and Erie Canal in Delphi, and Fort Ouiatenon.

Visited park this weekend with my grandson's and must say even the 2 & 4 year olds got bored fast. In the farm area we found a barn, a house and a couple of sheds. Animals consisted of a few horses a couple of cows and chickens. Also a few barn cats. The two workers we did see there were eating and never spoke to us. We were just left to walk around and try to figure out was going on and what we were suppose to look at. Drove down the road through a grassy prairie to the visitors center. The only thing at visitors center was a few turtles a snake and a handful of stuffed animals. When we asked how to get to the Native American village we were to we had to WALK across a busy highway to a grass path. Not interested with a 2 & 4 yr. old. After driving further through the prairie we found shelters and a playground. Then we were at the end of the road. DONE!! They do have an aquatic center and lots of paths to bicycle. Basically we spent $5.00 to drive through grass. Kind of pretty but that's it.

We hadn't been to see this park since it opened the camping area years ago. They have expanded it to include a working farm, Indian village, and lovely aquatics center. We only drove around, but there are nice asphalt walking/biking trails and roads to the different areas. The camping area was originally designed for camper parking/use only. We couldn't get to that to see if it had changed or not. They do have facilities to fill your water supply and dispose of your waste water.

We felt sorely let down by Historic Prophetstown Regional Park. The horse power farm was deserted. No one was around, not even in the gift shop that had a sign that read Open Closed. We saw 6 lovely draft horses but there was no information about them or the other livestock. The house was not open. The Native American village was even more disappointing as it consisted of two bare bent willow structures with no information and several modern buildings. Again no one was around and there was nothing to help us make sense of the structures. Were they summer dwellings and hence no coverings or just being built? We paid $8.00 for admission and received a rudimentary map but didn't know enough to ask detailed questions of the gate keeper. The water park looked ok but we didn't get out of the car to investigate as we'd gone for the history.
