At night there was a light show on one of the buildings (hearts for Valentines Day). Music and lights made the monument seem even cooler. Not much else around to see though. There is an expensive chocolate shop and a cool candy store on the circle...but that's about it.

Passing through Indianapolis overnight on the last night of our longer roadtrip. Stayed downtown to soak up the local scene. Meridian is quite walkable so after dinner a few blocks from our hotel, we strolled back up to Monument Circle. Lots of people...young people, families, and couples of all ages. Music...loud. Cars and motorcycles going around the circle. Lights on the monument changing colors. Lots of picture taking! This historic monument is one to walk up close and read and look at the sculptural details. Then walk across to the other side and walk around the circle and enjoy the stroll!!…

Monument Circle, although beautiful, felt unsafe to walk around. The entirety of Indianapolis felt like a ghost town with little to no one walking around the downtown area.

The only saving grace is the utter beauty of the monument itself as well as the surrounding monuments. …

How do you welcome home a soldier with Victory!! Beautiful limestone monument in the heart of the circle city (go to the top you'll get it then) Even the basement (which I am sure was part of the underground railroad) is cool. Think you are in shape climb the steps (not me). Take a lunch date and sit on the steps. Late night watch the motorcycles park and look cool. During Christmas such a beautiful family friendly place. Look for the many soldiers that have bricks in their honor. What a wonderful place to come back to after a war and see Victory standing tall at the top. …

I was here for work so I just had a few hours downtown. I found Indianapolis to be surprisingly cute. This statue was enormous and you can visit inside but I decided not to pay the entrence fee. This area has a lot of cute cafes and stores to check out.
