Indiana -- Where FUN Goes To Die!
When most people think of Indiana, they think of roads: peaceful two-lane routes lined by cornfields, southern byways unraveling over roller-coaster hills, the asphalt turns of the Indianapolis Speedway. Moments later, they will usually think of using one of Indiana's world-famous roads to leave Indiana.
But there's much more to this Land of Adventure than just roads: we also have corn, and farmers. With all this variety to choose from, it's unfortunate that many vacationers rush through on the interstate, headed for other, infinitely superior states. We insist that Indiana has much to offer, whatever you might have heard. Our many interesting roads do more than take you away from Indiana at top speeds -- they can also take you to many interesting places in the Road State.

Dining
If you're a fan of old-fashioned American food, you'll disagree with people who hate Indiana -- and then some! Our relatively low numbers of food-borne illness-related deaths can attest to the quality of our cuisine. In fact, you're more likely to get hit by lightning than die from our food -- people living in Indiana are struck by lightning more times a year than anyone else in the world!
And what cuisine it is! Try our oven-fresh butter logs, homemade ice, home-cooked barbecued corn patties and tomato cider! And don't assume you'll be limited to state fair food when you visit: Indiana also boasts several popular chain restaurants, like Burger King and Arby's!
Fresh fish are pulled daily from the Great Lakes area -- watch from a car port as it is shipped off elsewhere! Indiana is also no stranger to corn-fed beef; tourists flock from miles around to feed our cows corn. And did you say ethnic dishes? I hope not! They've been illegal in Indiana since 1947!
Sight-seeing
People who say there's nothing to do in Indiana have put their foot in their mouth -- and nowhere is this more evident than at our National Foot Museum! Watch interactive exhibits on the history of the foot, or take part in our virtual reality exhibits! And for the kids, swing by the Rabid Animal Disease Control Centre in Indianapolis, where you can pet animals before they are put down.
