Tucked away in Southern Indiana, Bedford is about an hour and a half away from Indianapolis, but it's well worth the drive. The biggest attraction here are the spectacular Bluespring Caverns, which boast the largest underground river in the country. Between March and October, visitors can take a boat tour of the 21-mile-long cave system, where they'll have the opportunity to spot unique albino animals and insects. After emerging from the caves, the rest of the day can be spent relaxing in one of the city's parks, visiting the local craft brewery, and browsing the shops in the Bedford Antique Mall.
