Things to Do in West Lafayette

Being a local small business, The Whittaker Inn knows how important community support is and Andrew & Elizabeth Whittaker's passion lies not with just far off travel adventures but also in exploring local community gems. The Greater Lafayette community was voted by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce as the 2021 Community of the Year, and we couldn't agree more!

We’ve put together a collection of some of the favorite local things to do and points of interest in the area. To check out additional things to do within the West Lafayette area, head to https://www.homeofpurdue.com to see the Visit Lafayette/West Lafayette website.
