Let the stars guide you to your perfect SoIN outing. Find your Zodiac sign below for recommended stops – and treats – to enjoy on your visit to Clark and Floyd counties.
Competitive, strong-willed, carefree
Challenge your friends to a game of pickleball at one of SoIN’s free or paid courts, then cheer on the home team at a Southern Indiana FC match! The club hosts home games at the Green Valley Soccer Complex in New Albany during its spring and fall seasons. After, grab a local slice and brew at nearby New Albanian Brewing Company, one of five SoIN craft breweries.
Appreciates comfort, luxury, art
Shop for new styles at locally owned boutiques like Him & Her and Dress & Dwell then catch an exhibit featuring local artists at Bourne-Schweitzer Gallery. To finish the day, indulge in American fare with international influences at The Fair, a new fine-dining restaurant in New Albany.
Social natured, curious, love for variety
One more reason to love Gemini season – the Georgetown Drive-in! Start the day with lunch at Rails & Ales Brew House followed by a walk at the Melvin & Vickie Jensen Nature Preserve. The park features a memory garden and a 3-mile walking trail. End the day watching some of the latest movie releases on the big screen under the stars. Bring yard games and board games to enjoy with friends before the double feature begins.
Sentimental, compassionate, creative
This water sign will love exploring Howard Steamboat Museum, a Victorian era home-turned-museum dedicated to steamboat history and lore. Speaking of lore, did you know SoIN is home to a lost resort? Rose Island, now a part of Charlestown State Park, was a popular summer escape in the 20s and 30s. Hike through the remnants and then grab dinner at New Washington’s favorite watering hole and restaurant, 1894 Lodge.
Courageous, confident, natural entertainers
Get your tickets to see some of the region’s top performers at Derby Dinner Playhouse. Their season of shows includes musicals, comedies, murder mysteries and more, plus you get a delicious dinner. After, head to The Alcove for a cocktail, then select your song and take center stage at The Blue Aux, a late-night karaoke bar in Jeffersonville offering games, community and occasional open-mic nights.
Analytical, detail-oriented, helpers
Put your problem-solving skills to the test at Big 4 Escape. Designed by a local team, these unique escape rooms offer fun themes and range from beginner to advanced difficulty. Dig into local history and some of the best BBQ around at Big Ben’s BBQ at the Depot. Keep the “Big” theme going with a sunset stroll across the Big Four Bridge – the perfect finale for a day in SoIN.
Sociable, creative, appreciates beauty
Enjoy views on the region’s newest rail-to-trail project, The Monon South Trail. After a walk or bike ride, see and be seen at Huber’s Orchard & Winery. This family farm shines during its annual Fall Festival but offers year-round fun! Get your friends together for a farm-to-glass tour. Grab a bite on site or at neighboring Joe Huber’s Family Farm & Restaurant where you can partake in seated dining or a buffet of scratch-made food.
Passionate, mysterious, perceptive
Experience the dark and mysterious side of Jeffersonville when you purchase Haunted History Jeffersonville: A Boo 812 Experience. Enjoy dinner at one of the passport's rumored-to-be-haunted locations. Options include Pearl Street Taphouse, Red Yeti and H.M. Franks. To close out the night, do a little research on Facebook to gain access to Distillery 64, a speakeasy distillery in New Albany serving delicious cocktails and award-winning spirits.
Adventurous, free-spirited, spontaneous
Roam across 25,000 acres of preserved land at Clark State Forest. Indiana’s oldest state forest offers fishing lakes, camping, hunting, horse trails, mountain biking trails and access to the Knobstone Trail – the state’s longest hiking trail. After your excursion, refuel at The Chicken House, offering finger-licking fried chicken dishes.
Ambitious, focused, goal-oriented
Book a bay to perfect your game at Different Strokes driving range in New Albany. Covered, heated bays allow you to practice your swing rain or shine.

You can even earn a colorful print by Carrie Johns after checking in at 10 locations. #GOALS Wind down the long day with a pint and pub fare at Floyd County Brewing Company.
Creative, innovative, eccentric
Play loud, dress louder. That’s the philosophy at YIMM, a vintage clothing/drum shop combo owned and curated by local musician Max Maxwell. The shop is located just a stone’s throw from Maxwell’s House of Music, so music-lovers should leave plenty of time to explore both shops. Sign up for the Inspired SoIN digital passport, a free guide to murals and public art throughout Clark and Floyd counties.

Tenants of the holistic health and wellness center include Element Yoga & Ayurvedic Wellness and Sukhino Float Center & Salt Cave, offering halotherapy, float therapy and more.
