Every day, it’s starting to look more and more like summer around here.
Guests are trickling back in to our hotels, casino and golf
courses. After a quiet few months around here, we absolutely love seeing people
back. And we have more to share about things happening around the resort, just
in time for the upcoming holiday.
Here’s a little more about dining venues that are reopening,
as well as what’s happening for the Fourth of July weekend.
DINING
Good news to share: Four more of our resort restaurants are
reopening this week!
At French Lick Springs Hotel, 1875: The Steakhouse, Power
Plant Bar & Grill, and Pluto’s Pizzeria will all open on July 1. Another
favorite is coming back at French Lick Springs Hotel: the lobby bar, serving
your favorite drinks from 5pm-10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Also, Café Sinclair’s at West Baden Springs Hotel is
reopening for daily breakfast starting July 1. And at Hagen’s Club House
Restaurant, daily lunch service will begin on July 3.
Check
out more about hours and availability of all resort dining venues, which
are open to our gaming and overnight resort guests.
FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND
Visiting our hotels for the Fourth? Here’s 10 things for
gaming and overnight resort guests to do for the holiday weekend:
Another French Lick Springs Hotel favorite is back with a new name and new location. You’ve seen them on the veranda before, and next weekend the Ragtime Rascals will be taking their show to the front lawn with your favorite ragtime tunes. (6 p.m.-10p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday)
Fun and games: Perfect for the kids, and the kids at
heart (and for social distancing outdoors). Play badminton, cornhole, Kan Jam
and more yard games at the KidsFest Lawn. (Complimentary, and available
noon-10 p.m. Friday, and 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.)
We’ll have the party going at French Lick Springs Hotel also, with a DJ and games for the kids at the outdoor pool. (Friday from 4 p.m.-9 p.m. with games until 8 p.m.; Saturday from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday with games starting at 1 p.m.)
Lighting up at night: We’ve had to postpone our
fireworks show this year, but starting at dusk, the kids can
still hit Dive-In Movies at the French Lick Springs Hotel pool. And keep an eye
out for the special patriotic projections on the French Lick Springs Hotel
façade after dark. (Movie schedule: “Despicable Me 3” on Friday; “Sherlock
Gnomes” on Saturday; “The Wild” on Sunday)
Celebrate with a bang: This is the first time our
73-acre sporting clays range is open to leisure guests. This is perfect for
both experienced and novel marksmen, as you can simulate the thrill of a hunt
and take aim on clay targets. Call (812) 788-2575 or email dmadden@frenchlick.com for more on
availability.
Explore the trails: Bring your mountain bike or your
trail shoes, and bike or hike our 11+ miles of trails. Find trail maps at the
Valley Links golf shop.
Literally anyone can play — whether you’re age 8 or 80. You
play the Valley Links Course with the traditional golf rules and etiquette, but
you use your feet and a soccer ball instead of golf clubs. Play 18 holes to
make an afternoon of it, or do 9 holes for a quicker game.
Take a drive and cool off: Patoka Lake and Marengo Cave are both within a 40-minute
drive of the resort. Take the boat out on Patoka or bring the fishing and beach
gear. Or, escape the heat for a few hours inside Marengo Cave where it’s always
56 degrees, even in July.
