City Information

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 of several new attractions of more interest to families. Downtown Indianapolis surrounds the majestic Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, a 284-ft. Spire crowned by the 30-ft. Bronze statue Victory, popularly known as Miss Indiana. Situated around Monument Circle are entertainment centers, museums, and several new sports stadiums and hotels, to keep up with such events as the Pan-American games and Olympic trials. Many fans flock to Indianapolis to see the Brickyard 400 and the competition stomping Indianapolis Colts play in the RCA Dome in Downtown.

The new 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. Indianapolis has undergone an amazing renaissance. In recent years, the downtown landmarks have all been transformed into new shopping and entertainment centers that have maintained their architectural integrity.
