The field is amazing. There is always something new. And not new like a few new bunkers, but new like "oh, we built a pirate ship on the lake". Other features include a three story castle, western fort, ghost town, pirate ship, and a massive bridge. The place is always filled with great players and so far the refs have kept the "douche-baggery" to a minimum during the big games. They say it is a player's field and I think they mean it. I feel like the paint prices are fantastic considering that other fields stick you for $60-$100 a case during big games. Even if you have to make a drive, give this place a try. There is a big game every month. I doubt that you will be sorry! http://www.fortknoxpaintball.com/

WOW! Dave has put a lot of time and effort into creating a very diverse paintball field. I've been…read morethere for two scenario games in the last year. It is a great paintball park, over 7 fields from ship wrecks to Western towns and a beautiful man-made bridge. Bring your own paint or reasonably priced paint there. Their Valken Graffiti was $60 (same price as ANS) and fresh. They also have a nice staging area 4-5 covered picnic areas lots of room for parking. Dave and his son run the place and you can tell he just wants to create an environment for families and friends to have a good time. His ref are well educated and staff is very friendly. They even cooked for us, hot dogs and hamburgers, during the long weekend. I will continue to plan a few trips out there a year. Worth the drive. PS they are on Eastern Time!

I decided to have my sons 1ST birthday here as I read a lot of amazing reviews and had heard…read morenothing but good things about this place! Boy was my experience complete opposite from what we had heard and read. For starters when I began setting up all the tables and table cloths were already set up but the table cloths were dirty! I assumed the man was still maybe getting everything set up so I didn't say anything but quickly realized he was done setting up so we had asked for a rag to wipe down the table cloths and let me just say the "workers" demeanor/ attitude was rude to say the least. They seemed as if I was bothering them by just simply asking for a rag to clean the tables as they were very visibly dusty and dirty. Then my mom had asked if we could move a circle table up to the front by the other food table so I could put our cake on it and the woman working the front register was instantly rude and bothered that we asked. Then once the party started the bounce house on the side and back were deflating and I brought it to their attention all for the woman to roll her eyes and look at the man, and him to say "well you have a lot of kids in there it's not meant for that!" In a shitty tone meanwhile, no more than 3 kids were ever in there at one time and at the time of the incident happening only my 1 year old was on it! There was no paper towel in the bathroom, you had to use Kleenex to dry your hands. I went to the register to ask where I could get trash bags and the two working the register sat and bickered back and forth about how the other didn't replace the bag yet. The yellow slide was broken at the end with bolts poking out, no warning nor sign to stay off of it or anything... a child could have gotten seriously hurt had we not notice and catch the child coming down. Overall absolute horrible experience for us. Which was very disappointing considering all the amazing reviews and ratings. Honestly had the staff been more pleasant and not completely rude (which I had several guests comment on how rude the staff were) our experience wouldn't have been AS bad. One thing I will say is the owner is definitely not any of the staff that were working today from my knowledge so this is not a reflection on her. Expected ALOT more out of this event center especially after paying 200$ just to get treated poorly and the bigger attractions to be down. 0/10.

Just walk in and see what they have on display. I literally just walked in off the street after shuffling around downtown Valpo. I didn't even know that this museum existed until I came upon it randomly. This is the area's oldest museum dedicated to the history and culture of Porter County, so you're seeing local art and history at its finest here. There are three different rooms in this museum that have interesting things to look at. Some of the exhibits have multimedia aspects to them, and some are just a collection of objects on display. I was in this museum for maybe 15 minutes and saw all of it that I needed to. But if you're one of those people who likes to read everything and talk to the people at the front desk, then you might be here a little longer. Either way, the Porter County Museum should be a stop during your visit to Valparaiso.

She told me all about the fire that burned the courthouse. Her extra information helped me understand the photo exhibit more. They have a very lifelike taxidermy dog in one room. It's eyes are so real and follow you. It was the cherished pet of a little girl way back- I think the 20s. I think you should always stop in the local museum whenever you visit any new place. Even small towns like Valparaiso have a lot of history to share.

This is a very nice local fair way down in Marshall County, Indiana. Now one will note that a…read morenumber of the reviews are one or two stars and nick the event because there are no fresh blueberries - but that should have been expected. The Marshall County Blueberry Festival is held around Labor Day each year, and anyone who knows berries knows that the blueberry season has long since passed. So, other than a timing issue since the berry season has passed, this fair is a local delight even without fresh berries. Over the years this fair has really grown - now encompassing an area for kids amusement rides, an area for adult amusement rides, a softball field area where a large fastpitch tournament is held each season, rows and rows of canopies selling all sorts of fair food and knick knacks, and typical fair stuff. While I did not count the canopies, there had to be over 100 booths around the fairgrounds. And yes, there is probably a booth selling every kind of deep fried food you can think of - including elephant ears (aka fried dough or funnel cakes), fried Oreos, foot long corn dogs, etc. and etc. They also have Amish pies, blueberry donuts, lemon shake ups, Philly sandwiches, tenderloin sandwiches, hamburgers, and on and on. This is all held at Centennial Park in Plymouth, Indiana just off US 30 (https://www.blueberryfestival.org/). Events include 5K walks and a 15K run, car shows, tractor pulls, a Labor Day parade, and a fireworks show. It is hard to get your arms around how big this event is - but visit one year and you'll see for yourself. Parking is easy (usually $10) and they have a tram that will cart you in from the entrance to the activities. Now 56 years old, this is a great fest to try at the end of the summer season. And yes it is typical fair food, you don't come here looking for a meal of kale anything. Give this event a try at the end of summer.

It looked like reservations are highly recommended if you're planning to dine in. The ambience was elegant, calm, and intimate, and the service was hard-working, cheerful, and accommodating. Our large group ordered a variety of drinks, and not a single person was disappointed. I can personally vouch for the espresso martini and the Fashioned in Apple; both perfectly suited my tastes. For dessert, a friend ordered the chocolate mousse while I chose the Yule Log. The presentation was gorgeous and delicate, and of course, they were delicious. Now I just need to come back to try the food. The prices might sting a bit, but I have a feeling my taste buds will convince me it's worth it.

A quick tip: definitely call ahead for a reservation. The dining area is small but cozy, offering a really intimate vibe. The cocktails were fantastic, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The food? Outstanding. You can tell the owner knows a thing or two about authentic flavors--probably from time spent traveling and living abroad. I really appreciated how true the dishes stayed to their roots. The semi-open kitchen was also a great touch--it shows they're confident in their craft and proud of what they're serving. I'm not usually big on desserts, but wow. Honestly, they might be more known for their desserts than the entrees, but both were amazing. What really pulls it all together is the service--attentive, thoughtful, and full of personality. That's what makes this place special.
