Indianapolis Destination Overview

While Indianapolis has long been known to racing fans who flock to this capital city every May for the Indianapolis 500, the city now boasts several new attractions of more interest to families. Downtown Indianapolis surrounds the majestic Soldiers and Sailors Monument, a 284 foot Spire crowned by the 30 foot Bronze statue Victory, popularly known as Miss Indiana. Situated around Monument Circle are entertainment centers, museums, and several new sports stadiums and hotels which were constructed to to keep pace with such events as the Pan-American games and Olympic trials. Indianapolis has undergone an amazing renaissance. In recent years.

Many downtown landmark properties have been transformed into new shopping and entertainment centers that have maintained their beauty and architectural integrity. The Circle Centre shopping and entertainment complex opened in 1995 and draws visitors from around the region. Connected to the Circle Centre and several downtown hotels is the Indianapolis Arts Garden. The eight-story glass rotunda, lit by tiny lights and suspended in mid-air over the busy Washington and Illinois intersection, is a performance and exhibition space for all of Indiana. Waiting for you in Indianapolis are a number of excellent museums, including one of the best children's museums in the country.

The Indianapolis Children's Museum is 5 stories of educational, hands-on learning and fun for the whole family! After you take a ride on the old-fashioned merry-go-round, stop by Passport to the World to learn about many different cultures from people in their native dress.

There is even a planetarium and of course the famous IMAX theater for added educational enjoyment. Surrounded by sculpture, botanical gardens, and a lake, the Indianapolis Museum of Art has art treasures from all time periods.

In contrast, the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art is dedicated entirely to native arts and buildings. The new Indianapolis Zoo features hundreds of plants and animals in a lovely natural setting just outside town.
