Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get into Uranus from Interstate 70?
We’re super easy to slide into! Take I-70 to Exit 156B. We are located at the “Crossroads of the East” on the Indiana/Ohio border. Just take Exit 156B and you’ll see us immediately on your left with our massive dinosaurs and glorious, colorful signs in no time.
We’re visiting Earlham College. How close is Uranus?
Uranus is practically in your backyard! We’re only about a 10-to-15-minute drive from Earlham College and downtown Richmond. Our fresh fudge and hilarious photo ops are the perfect way for students, visiting families, and locals to blow off some steam and have a good laugh.
Where exactly does Uranus sit on a National Road road trip?
Right in the sweet spot! Uranus sits squarely on the Historic National Road (US 40), the “Road that Built the Nation.” We are the ultimate pitstop on the Indiana/Ohio border to stretch your legs, grab some ice cream, and explore everything Uranus has to offer.
What other local history sites are near Uranus?
There’s plenty to explore around our parts! Richmond is the “Cradle of Recorded Jazz” (home to Gennett Records), and you can check out the Madonna of the Trail statue just down the road. If you love a good stroll, the Richmond Murals Trail and the Model T Museum are just minutes away. But let’s be real; Uranus is the main event.
Is Uranus a real town in Indiana?
Uranus isn’t a town; it’s a lifestyle! While our flagship is in Missouri, Uranus #3 in Richmond is our biggest expansion yet. Mayor Louie Keen brought this “roadside empire” to Indiana in late 2024, turning a massive 15,000+ sq. ft. space into the most visited, fudge-packed destination in Wayne County.
My RV is massive. Can I park it in Uranus?
Absolutely! Uranus is huge and can accommodate all sizes. Whether you’re pulling a giant trailer, driving a massive RV, or rolling up in a tour bus, our sprawling parking lot at 6400 National Road East has plenty of room for you to pull in safely and turn around.
What else is there to do around Wayne County after exploring Uranus?
Once you’ve survived the Vortex Tunnel and let our fudge packers load you up with treats, go explore! Wayne County is famous for Antique Alley, featuring over 1,200 antique dealers nearby. You can also hike the trails at Hayes Arboretum or go kayaking on the Whitewater River. Starting in 2026, a new Minor League Baseball team will be setting up shop in Richmond, the Richmond Flying Mummies! Swing by and catch a game.
Is Uranus doing anything for the National Road Centennial in 2026?
You bet your sweet cheeks we are! 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of Route 66 — and because the historic National Road (US 40) received its federal designation the same year, Uranus Richmond sits at the intersection of two centennial celebrations. Because Uranus Richmond resides directly on the historic National Road, we are the headquarters for the biggest road trip party in Indiana. Come celebrate a century of travel by visiting Uranus!
What makes the Richmond Uranus so special compared to the original?
While we love our Missouri roots, Richmond is our “Mega-Store.” In addition to our fudge, gifts, candy, and ice cream, it’s where you’ll find our massive indoor Vortex Tunnel, a vintage bi-plane hanging from the ceiling, and our outdoor Animatronic Dinosaur Park. It’s the biggest Uranus you’ve ever seen!
Are there places to sleep and eat near Uranus?
Tons! Because Richmond is a major hub on the I-70 corridor, there are dozens of hotels (like the Hampton Inn and Drury Inn) and local eateries just a minute away. Book a room locally, grab some dinner downtown, and spend the whole day enjoying the “Best Fudge from Uranus.”
