Hotel needed

Is there a hotel between Evansville In and Santa Claus In. My family will be coming down there the first week of June and want to see the Zoo %26amp; Children%26#39;s Musuem in Evansville but also want to go to Holiday World.

It would be nice to have a indoor pool too.

Finding a good hotel in between those two locations may be difficult. There are a lot of places around Evansville and then as you head East towards Santa Claus your options become less. I can%26#39;t even think of any hotels on 64 between the two locations truthfully. Around Santa Claus there is the St. Nick Lodge and then in Dale right off the interstate you have a Motel 6 and Baymount Inn, but then your options close to Evansville would have to be in or just outside of Evansville. I know there are some little cabins around a lake not far from Santa Claus (but they are fairly new and I%26#39;m sorry but I don%26#39;t know the name of them) or there is always the option for a cabin or camping at Lake Rudolph right next to Holiday World or a cabin at Lincoln Park.

indygirl is right. There%26#39;s not much between the two. And in the summer, you%26#39;re better off staying closer to Evansville, anyway, because all of the campgrounds/lodges/etc. near Holiday World stay pretty booked and have much higher prices that time of year.

I live between the two (closer to Evansville) and Holiday World is really only about a 45 min. drive from the far east side of Evansville. Believe me, it%26#39;s worth it to make the drive.

The only exception I would make is that there is a park in Boonville, Scales Lake Park, that is a locally-run park with really nice cabins available for rent; the staff is nice and the cabins come with a fully-equipped kitchen, two rooms and a deck on the lakefront for about $65-80/night, depending on weekend or weekday. It%26#39;s a very good deal, except it doesn%26#39;t include linens/towels or soaps, etc. If that wouldn%26#39;t be an issue, I would check there first. Even though it%26#39;s only about 8 miles from where I live, we%26#39;ve rented their cabins for our kids%26#39; ';camp-out'; birthday parties or to just ';get away.';

If you want a hotel, though, there are a ton of options along I-164 in Evansville that will give you decent access to all of the places you%26#39;re planning to visit, as well as numerous nearby restaurants. Look for a hotel near I-164 and IN-62 or IN-66.

The children%26#39;s museum is right off I-164 as you head to downtown Evansville; there%26#39;s also an awesome playground to the left as you enter downtown called Kids Kingdom. Both my 5-year-old and 11-year-old say it%26#39;s their favorite in the area, so you should definitely check it out - it%26#39;s a great place for a picnic, too. It%26#39;s just south of the Evansville Museum of Arts History and Science. That museum also can be fun for kids (depending on ages) and is based on a donation admission, so it could be another activity, (if you need one).

The best route to the zoo is probably just to take IN-66 and then head north on St. Joeseph Ave., so that, too could be fairly easily accessed from the area I mentioned.

Sorry this is so long, but I hope it helps!
