We also found the location to be ideal – it was minutes away from everything we wanted to do and see.  Although we didn’t try it, there was a full-service restaurant and a bar.  My son was quite interested in the room service, but we decided to head out instead.

Where to eat in Warsaw, IN

Having heard good things about Spike’s Beach Grill, we headed over there for dinner.  It was just a few minutes from the hotel.  Spikes had an awesome beach bar feel with outdoor seating, sun-washed colors everywhere, and multiple sand volleyball pits. 

There was even a stage for live music with a Cessna on top!  Pretty cool.  We enjoyed clam strips and vegetable sushi.  I also indulged in a mango margarita – very tropical and yummy.

Is Warsaw worth visiting? Things we found to do!

We managed to fill several days exploring Warsaw, but here are a few things to do that we enjoyed the first evening.

1. Visit the Village of Winona

Since it was still early, we made our way to the Village of Winona for dessert.  The Village is a quaint and very well-maintained mix of fun shops, restaurants, and homes alongside a canal that leads into Winona Lake.  It felt very special and exclusive. 

I think this would be a perfect spot to rent a house and a boat and enjoy a little lake getaway.  Most of the shops were closed, but we walked the street and discovered Rocket Fizz was still open.  Since it was just my 11-year-old son and myself, you can bet we (he) enjoyed that store immensely.  We loaded up on some goodies and started heading back to the hotel.

2. Check out the Biblical Gardens

On our way back, we stopped to check out the Biblical Gardens.  This garden is located in Central Park – which also offered lake views, playgrounds, and a fun concert area for live music and other events.  The gardens were fun to explore and we enjoyed walking off a bit of the candy we had consumed.  It was a lovely ending to a fun night!

3. End the evening in the arcade room!

We did spend a fair amount of time playing pinball in the arcade room of our hotel.  That was lots of fun and the perfect way to cap off a terrific first night in Warsaw Indiana.
