Everything is hands on, and there is such a diversity of activities, from looking at the live animals (snakes, bearded dragon, turtles), to playing in a small kitchen, drawing, building with Legos or large foam blocks, and climbing into then sliding down a tiny rocket. The staff were all so friendly, nice, and helpful, and they went out of our way to make our experiences great! I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is traveling on I-65 through Indiana and needs a break for a little one!

We've been to a few other FLW properties but no other has been as welcoming. We were encouraged to truly look and see the genius of the design as it was intended.

The ingenious additions Mrs. Christian requested that were beautifully designed into the workspace were well before their time.

The trails are maintained very well and there is clear markers of where each trial goes. There is also some really good elevation changes that are approachable for everyone.

I'm into spooky stuff and so is my girlfriend, so we discovered this attraction after our visit to…read moreTriple XXX. It seemed like the perfect spot to visit after a full belly. The parking here was free, so that was a great start. We stood in line to purchase our tickets, but before we did that, they guided us in a room to take a photo. They handed us a card with a code on it to scan after we completed the attraction to see our photo. After that, we purchased our tickets, which was basically in the room over. The tickets were $25 each for General Admission and those are the ones we bought. We stood in line and while we did so, some characters interacted with us. One had extreme energy and Giggles was his name, or so it said so on his back. He interacted the whole time of our visit with the huge line of people. Our wait was about 45 minutes, so it wasn't horrible. They formed groups of six to walk through the attraction. This attraction was really all over the place! There were a lot of actors throughout and they were able to touch us here. I liked that element and I really felt it made things more interactive. They had a really long, swirly tunnel and even inflatable devices that are sure to make you panic. If you're prone to nausea or claustrophobic in any aspect, this may not be the place for you. You end up going down steps early in the attraction. It seems I was in a basement for the majority of the time. I liked the feel to that. The length was probably around 30 minutes, but I wasn't on my phone to time it. The actors, for the most part, appeared to be very young. They did have great acting chops and even seemed to have years of experience. After you exit, they show you your photo and offer it for $10.00. They told us we can purchase it online with the code on the card, which I did on 10/14/22, so the code was active for quite some time after my visit, just to let you know that you don't need to rush and purchase it. Overall, the price definitely matches the quality here. It was a lengthy attraction, so I feel I got my money's worth. I recommend this attraction for all lovers of horror! Date of visit: 10/08/22

The outside is kind of cluttered and could use some attention, but don't let that keep you away. The inside is great. Lots of rooms, as typical for an old home, and every room is full! They carry antiques as well as some reproductions and decorating, but if you are looking strictly for antiques, no worries. There are plenty! Nice ladies run the place, and they are always good to work with and fun to talk to. I always come away with several items, often unusual and cool stuff. There are a couple of diners/restaurants in town, so it is a nice destination for lunch and a bit of antiquing. So, all in all, Battleground isn't really an antique town, but for us, Shoup House is a destination, in itself. Go, but save some good stuff for me!

While visiting Battle Ground, IN to see the historical, Tippecanoe battlefield where General…read moreHarrison and the Shawnee chief, Tenskwatwa (or The Prophet), fought and started one of the sparks which would become the War of 1812, we stumbled across another historical site - The Shoup House. There's nothing I love more than museums and antique shops so I was in 7th heaven this particular day. Shoup House Antiques is everything I want in an antique shop. It was like someone read my mind and fabricated this special place just for me. My vacation cottage is only 1500 sq. ft. with average to low ceilings, small bedrooms and an open floor plan where the common rooms are. I don't have a lot of free wall space and even less floor space so I can't really fit antique furniture (the kind that obviously belong in homes like The Shoup House or grand Victorians) in here. What I can do is buy little accent pieces to create wonderful vignettes on my night stand, shallow shelf nook, library wall, etc. The Shoup House carries antiques and European inspired reproductions. I am a huge lover of all things from Ballard Designs and Restoration Hardware, and I found similar, if not identical, items here and for even less. I bought a beautiful table top Santos figure for $9.00 which sells for $39.00 in Ballard Deigns catalog. The oval wall clock which sold out for $82.00 was $49.00 at The Shoup House. My favorite purchase though is an architectural piece where someone talented had taken gorgeous, old tin ceiling tiles and molded them against a wood frame to create a 5' long x 18" high wall shelf for only $45.00. I feel like I stole this piece. It was so hard to keep myself from buying all the things I have coveted for so long in those catalogs and in the stores, like wire cloche bells, shabby chic balusters and columns, large b&w canvas map of downtown Chicago, antique bird cages, leather armchairs with nail head trim, etc. If I could buy the house with all the antiques in it, I could happily live here not moving a thing and consider myself at home. It's also fun to peruse all the different, 11 rooms of the house where everything is organized neatly and artistically in primitive or shabby chic cupboards, armoires and shelves, on the walls, from the ceilings, in the closets, on the porch and along the staircases. Almost every inch is packed full of antiques and decorative items, but it doesn't feel cramped or overwhelming. I haven't been this in love with a store in a few years so yes, my review is long and exuberant because I'm still giddy from my visit and discovery of this fabulous antique shop.
