Best places: Tourist attractions in South Bend, United States

Spacious museum with 3 floors of presidential carriages, car culture history & sleek vintage cars.

Open since 1902, this zoo supplements its exhibits with educational programs, train rides & more.

👍 South Bends' best park beside the new Howard Park, which ranks no.2 due to its eradication of all the trees. Potawatomi, named after the Native American people that once lived there, is full of tall old-growth trees, so shade is easy to find, even for parking spots. Four main features make this par...

👍👍 This place is wonderful, well loved, organized and beautiful! Their programs are well designed and I enjoy picking produce with my children.

Compact waterfront park & fishing spot with playground equipment & a picnic area.

Nature center featuring a bird-viewing window, an animal feeding station, a beehive & more.

👍 If you're looking for a short activity to do in South Bend at night, I recommend this. The light displays are pretty, and the changing colors are oddly calming. The 5 structures each have interesting backstories you can read on the signs, and the whole walk is only a few tenths of a mile. Conveni...

Modern galleries with traditional & contemporary works by regional & national artists.

👍👍 I must admit that it is a very interesting museum. Even though I came here just passing through, I was not disappointed. It is worth coming here and learning about the history of this region.

😠 Very disappointed in Christmas Eve Mass this year. I have loved Christmas Eve Masses in years past, singing traditional carols and participating. This year was like a concert by the organist singing songs that sounded like funeral dirges, one carol, and everything was in Latin! Didn’t feel like a...

Tours of the J.D. Oliver family's 38-room, 1897 home, with its original interiors & woodwork intact.

Riverside park area with benches & a few picnic tables, popular for fishing & boating.

Recreational park with a 13,000-sq.-ft. concrete skate park, plus a splash pad & football field.

👍👍 A local favorite for kids. Good shade in the summer, and a variety within the play structure itself for kids. An easy access parking lot nearby, and close to other features in Potawatomi Park.

👍👍 Very nice little splash pool...good for younger children and children with special needs ... Water is very shallow.. might be 20inches deep in the middle section... Price is fairly reasonable... Cost Under 2 free ages 3 - 10 is $4. ages 11 and up $5 a person... BONUS - THEY DO ALLOW FOOD & DRIN...

Relaxed mainstay for sports, with ball fields & tennis courts, plus 2 playgrounds.

This forested riverside park on 16+ acres includes hiking/biking trails & benches.

👍👍 When I lived there, from 1969 to 1973, this was the Izaak Walton League property. My dad was the caretaker there and my backyard was 122 acres of so much goodness for a kid. I was never indoors. Always exploring the woods, ponds, Judy Creek and the St Joe river with my dog Simon. I just ran across t...

👍👍 Cabin Days are perfect for all the school kids to learn first hand about history!

👍👍 I just randomly stepped into this museum out of curiosity, but two ladies there made my day. After visiting, she asked me to put a nail on the world map, where I came from. There was only me coming from Iran but such a beautiful work she did to keep a memory of people who pass by♥️♥️
