Type in "Indianapolis" in the text search box and you will come up with a fair bit on the city. The post entitled "What to do in Indianapolis and surrounding area" has a fair bit of information in it.

Two good things to do with children, right off the bat: the zoo (downtown) and the Children's Museum (30th and Illinois).

Indianapolis is my city; you'll enjoy your weekend here!

Ride the elevator to the top of the Soldiers & Sailors Monument in the middle of Monument Circle and walk down.

See an event at Conseco Fieldhouse and enjoy a retro fieldhouse venue.

See the Indians play baseball at beautiful Victory Field.

See the Indy 500 museum in Speedway.

If it's a pretty day walk the canal and rent a paddle boat for a ride.


Hey dln, I didn't realize we're practically neighbors. Tho' I live in the scenic "southside" of Indianapolis: Brown County.

Hey indytravel! Our daughter is now at Gnaw Bone Camp in scenic Brown County. It's beautiful country, isn't it? We live in Meridian-Kessler in Indy, with an itty-bitty yard, so we really appreciate having Brown County so close.

It is beautiful down here. I especially like the Fall.

I probably shouldn't mention this but the name Gnaw Bone is derived from the French (or so my college French teacher told me.) It is corrupted from the French city Narbonne. quot;>

We won't even mention how we pronounce Versailles in Indiana.

The zoo and the children's museum. That's about it.
