Top Things to do in Indianapolis

Now that we've covered why our Select Registry Bed and Breakfast is one of the best places to stay near Indianapolis let's talk about what you're going to do once you get there! There are so many incredible things to do in Indianapolis you'll wonder why you didn't visit earlier!

  1. Head to the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indian & Western Art. It's filled with unique artifacts from the 19th century on. 
  2. One of our favorite things in Indianapolis is to stroll along the Canal Walk, stretching from White River State Park to Indianapolis' north side. You can explore on foot, bike, or boat. 
  3. Car fans won't want to pass up the opportunity to visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. It features more than 55,000 artifacts and 300+ cars. If a race is what you want to see, you'll need to plan for the Indy-500, which takes place every May. 
  4. Indianapolis is home to a great Indie art scene, evident at local art galleries around downtown. The Chatham-Arch neighborhood has some of Indianapolis's best art galleries and nightlife. 
  5. Walk along Meridian Street and marvel in the beautiful mansions you'll find here.

  10. Enjoy a bit of biking, walking, birdwatching, and boating at Eagle Creek Park, one of the largest in the city. 

As exciting as these things to do in Indianapolis are, we can't forget the one thing that makes us one of the best places to stay near Indianapolis:  We're not actually in the city! Rather, we're located in charming Zionsville, where there is also plenty to enjoy.
