Visiting Indianapolis This Weekend

[Chosen]

Hey people!

I'm visiting Indy this weekend. I don't know if any of you are from around there or lived there in the past, but if you do or have, I'd love to hear places/things to do that you'd advise I not miss out on.

Thanks! :)

I'm a Buckeye, so we're right next door. :)

The Children's Museum is awesome, and there is plenty in there for adults to see too. It can be crowded and loud though. My Vet is a gear-head and really liked going to the Motor Speedway/Hall of Fame Museum, but I've never been.

We also did one of these Brew Bus Tours... awesome if you are a beer drinker. http://indybrewbus.com/#_=_

Also, Fat Dan's Deli... mmmmm. Link Removed

The Indiana Transportation Museum (www.itm.org), the art museum (the grounds are great in the spring) and the zoo are all good attractions. Eagle Creek park is a great place for trails and a picnic. Hope you enjoy your visit.

Another (ex) buckeye here. I also lived in Indy for about 18 months...but it's been a long time. If you're into eclectic shopping, eating, walking around - the Broad Ripple area is nice. There are (or used to be) a lot of interesting stores and outside dining. I also second the Children's Museum - even if you don't have kids, it's a pretty amazing place...and the zoo is very nice. Indy also has a vibrant downtown area that is relatively safe for a bigger city.
