This is a beautiful Monument in the center of the city. It has a nice fountain and you are able to walk around it. From the Circle, you can see the State Capitol building just down the street, check out some of the local shops, or even sit down on the monument steps while you enjoy the sounds of the city. We are disappointed a little we ran out of time on this trip before we could see this monument at night as we're told it looks brilliant when the statues are lit up. If you are in Indianapolis, you are sure to pass through this spot.

A very unique downtown! There is so much to see and so many pictures to take. I am impressed with the numbers of veteran monuments. I must add the people sleeping around the monuments can make taking pictures difficult. Travel safe…

We had to park a couple blocks away and walk back to the Monument Circle as there were a lot of people visiting Friday night. Don’t forget to pay the meter as parking was enforced until 11pm. About half of the monument base was blocked due to construction and the fountain was drained. However the Christmas lights were strung all the way to the top and the floodlight illumination all cycled through red, white and green colors making it festive. A light show in tandem played on some of the surrounding buildings in time with Christmas music. The show also included an audio recognition for our veterans. Rounding out the Christmas feel was lighted horse drawn carriages lined up in front of the monument waiting for customers and a large nativity scene on the cathedral’s lawn. A cool Santa’s Mailbox was setup to accept letters with drive ups allowed. That was a nice touch for the kids!

Beautiful lights on the monument for the holiday season. The area was busy with tourists enjoying the lights and music. We felt very safe being there at night. The brick walkways need some TLC. There were several missing and a definite trip hazard.
