They're okay. I don't drink alcohol so that part is totally lost on me. Although my friend really…read moreenjoyed her glass of wine. We dined on a fairly warm day but we chose to sit outside because we did have a little boy with us and he wanted the opportunity to see the train should it pass by... and it did! The staff is super cool and super nice. The charcuterie board was delicious and worth every penny. The pizza was less impressive. And overpriced. The bathroom is clean. Major plus. My only complaint is... they had some customers who parked right next to the patio dining area. I understand they don't REALLY have control over that but... they do. They could've simply asked them to park in actual parking spots. We didn't say anything cuz we were done within the next half hour anyways but still.

Since it was donated to PNW, this place has gone downhill big time. I used to bring my two little…read moresons who are in High school now and it used to be our magic outing each time. Now, seems like all PNW gets out of this palace is money and puts nothing back into Arboretum. They don't cater towards kids and families and all they do is make money out of weddings, birthday parties, showers and school fundraisers and spend $0 on renovations and maintenance. Disgrace! Here is what you will see now: 1. No animals and that area with the garden for the kids looks poorly maintained. PNW hadn't added any new equipment or additions for the kids since Tall Tree arboretum setup. All the little houses, spider web, wooden maze are all from way back when, from the time it was Tall Tree Arboretum. Purdue hasn't added any new playground and the little houses are dirty with tall grass snd weeds surrounding the whole area. Add some new equipment for the kids and nice play ground. 2. Music Area has missing and broken parts with no sticks to play instruments. Bamboo Sticks were all missing. Pipes are missing. What a disappointment for little kids. If you charge for entrance, at least fix this area so the kids can enjoy their time. Again, add some new instruments. These music instruments were added since Tall Tree Arboretum and nothing new was added since PNW acquired it. Everything is old there. Total disappointment. 3. They charge separate fee for the train room. On top of the general disappointing experience, you have to pay extra for the train experience. They have no shame! I wonder where all this money goes to because they have students volunteering there so they save money on labor too. Put some money back into this place for kids sake. It's embarrassing to see how this magical place turned into ruins.

A free museum, you say? Why yes, I will pop in and see what's what! Porter County Museum is small,…read morebut it's free to visit, so there's nothing to complain about. 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.

This was one of our many stops during our visit to Valparaiso. It is a very small museum, but has…read moreseveral interesting things to look at. The lady who was there was very helpful. 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.

The theater is located near the valporaiso town center so we had plenty of things to do before the show. We went to a beautiful bar, walked around a book store, and even found a mushroom in a Garden. The show. Absolutely spectacular. Shakespeare in Love is one of my favorite movies so to get to see it performed live...I was spellbound. I cried several times. The acting was phenomenal. I was whisked away to a land of fantasy and love. Thank you endlessly for this experience. I already know I'm going to want to be back all the time. See all the shows. 10000/10000 A+++
