I love to visit Shipshewana Indiana. I have several stops I have to make every trip, and there are several destinations that are worth the time and effort to visit.

It's a wonderful place to kick back and enjoy yourself at a more leisurely pace. There's something there for all ages from carousels and candy shops for the kids, to museums, flea markets, and water parks for whole family fun.

Why Should You Visit Shipshewana Indiana? 

Shipshewana Indiana is worth the visit for the food and the atmosphere. While you're there make sure you try a Jo Jo's pretzel, take a ride on the carousel, visit the museum, and take a buggy tour to one of the local working farms, you'll be glad you did.

You'll enjoy shopping in their unique downtown. There's a shop for everyone, from herbs and spices, to toys and antiques and everything in between.
