Retro is probably going to mean something different depending on who you ask. When I think about retro places in Indiana, I think about bowling alleys and ice skating rinks. Arcades also come to mind. These are places that used to be a much more popular place to hangout than they are now. That being said, they still exist and they are a lot of fun. I’ve done some digging and I compiled a list of ice rinks, bowling alleys, and arcades in the state.
- Swonder Ice Arena
WikiMedia Commons This arena and recreational facility is located at 209 N Boeke Rd, Evansville. If you’re in or near Evansville it’s a great place to go ice skating.
