Despite its small size and lack of festivals, shopping malls, or laser arcades, there are a huge number of things to do in Danville, Indiana if you take the time to revel in the simple things. For example, the Indianapolis satellite city is home to Ellis Park, a large community park that features shelter houses, playing fields for Danville sports, a cool PlayScape playground for Danville children, and, of course, the Gill Family Aquatic Center, a respite from those hot summer days with water slides, chaise loungers, and more. If you venture into downtown Danville, you can grab a bite at the nostalgic Mayberry Cafe or the carnival-esque Wiggles Cafe. And if cotton candy or water slides aren’t your thing, you can catch a matinee, live music, or a play at the restored Royal Theater.
