Outdoor Winter Activities in Indianapolis
Winter in Indiana can be tough. The temperatures drop quickly and it’s tempting to lock yourself in your house and wait for spring. However, after the recent spring lockdowns, many Americans are looking for ways to continue getting out of the house during the winter. Because many indoor activities are canceled or otherwise restricted, our team at Indy JoyRides has put together a quick list of things you safely can do outdoors this winter.
Drink Like an Eskimo
Just north of Indianapolis, there is a winery featuring heated igloos wherein you can sip wine and feel like an Eskimo. Each dome features seating for up to eight people, heaters, music, and lights. Drinks must be ordered at the bar, and servers will bring your food orders. Check out the Urban Vines Winery website to book your igloo ahead of time and enjoy this unique winter experience.
Cozy Up to a Fireplace
There are several bars and restaurants that offer outdoor seating around a cozy fireplace. District Tap, Scotty’s Brewhouse, and Union 50 all offer outdoor seating options along with their exciting menus and full bars. Also, many other restaurants are finding creative ways to keep their patios open through the winter because of COVID-19, so check with your favorite spot to find out. Some businesses are adding heaters, offering one-time use blankets to patrons, or even setting up tents.
Visit Indy Winterfest
The 12th Annual Winterfest takes place on Saturday, February 1, 2021, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. This top Indy event is hosted by Brewers of Indiana Guild, and includes over 100 Hoosier breweries. You can also enjoy live music and food, and shop for local beer gear, goods, apparel, and more. The doors open at 3 PM (2 PM if you score early admission), and the last pour is at 6:45 PM, with the entire event closing down at 7 PM. This event is held in rain, snow, or shine – so dress accordingly!
