My wife's and her family have been coming to IB (as the locals call it)for nearly 50 years. This park has continued to grow up not out. It is amazing to see how all the attractions fit into tis little space on a lake front. The Spackman family always wanted everyone to be able to afford to come so even today parking is FREE and admission is $2.50!
Then you can pay to ride only what you want. Or you can buy a all inclusive ticket, check the website for current prices.
IB is a seasonal facility open from Memorial Day to Labor Day only. The rooms and cottages are reserved quickly so call before you come!
Also, even in 2007, some of the motels just outside the park still only will take cash or check! No credit cards! The park accepts cards.
Behind Indiana Beach from the beginning was the Spackman family. Founder, Earl Spackman, developed the property with his son, Tom Spackman, working alongside him.
Today the Spackman family vision has driven Indiana Beach to grow from a swimming area in a cornfield to the largest Amusement Resort and Vacation Playground in Indiana, an escape destination enjoyed by nearly 3/4 of a million visitors annually. Over 30 rides and attraction, games, fine dining, dancing, a giant water park, five roller coasters, and so much more ...
