The city of Lafayette is located in Tippecanoe County in the state of Indiana, northwest of Indianopolis. There is a lot to see and do in this area, including spending the day visiting the animals or cooling off from the summer heat at the Tropicanoe Cove family aquatic center at Columbian Park. Lafayette is also great for avid golfers, as the city has nine golf courses. Wine connoisseurs should make sure not to miss the wine tasting available at Wildcat Creek Winery or the local breweries. Downtown Lafayette offers many museums, restaurants, stores and art galleries. Another option is to visit the wildlife research and education facility called Wolf Park, which is home to coyote, bison, foxes and wolves.
