About
eXplore Brown County is southern Indiana's premier outdoor adventure destination, offering a thrilling menu of activities in the gorgeous rolling hills of Brown County. Located near Nashville, Indiana — itself a charming arts and outdoor destination — eXplore Brown County draws adventurous families from across the region and beyond.
The activity lineup is impressive: zip line courses soar above the treetops with stunning views of the forested hills below, ATV riding puts kids and teens in the driver's seat on dedicated off-road courses, and paintball provides competitive team excitement. Mountain biking trails wind through the property's wooded terrain, and the campground allows families to extend the adventure with an overnight stay under the stars.
With a 4. 8 Google rating, eXplore Brown County has earned its reputation as one of Indiana's top family adventure parks. The surrounding Brown County landscape is extraordinary — especially in October, when the fall foliage transforms the entire area into a vivid tapestry of color that rivals any destination in the Midwest.
Plan to combine an eXplore Brown County visit with a walk through Nashville's downtown arts district and a stop at Brown County State Park for a complete southern Indiana experience. Book activities in advance, particularly on fall weekends when demand is extremely high.
