Indianapolis Travel Guide

Why to Visit Indianapolis

Indiana's capital may be best known for the Indy 500, but there are plenty of other reasons to visit Indianapolis. Kids will love the zoo and the world's largest children's museum, while adults can stroll the downtown Canal Walk, sample local breweries, and view public art along the Cultural Trail. You can even take a gondola ride.

When to Visit Indianapolis

Make your Indianapolis travel plans around one of the city's many events, like Winterfest in February, the Indy Film Fest in April, or the 500 Fest and GrandPrix in May. August sees both the State Fair and the IndyFringe Theatre Festival, while September brings the Penrod Arts Fair and the Circle of Lights kicks off the holiday season.

Weather in Indianapolis

Indianapolis has four distinct seasons. Summers can be muggy and hot, with average highs in the 80s. Visit Indianapolis in the fall for colorful foliage and cool, crisp temperatures. Spring is also a pleasant time to visit, but it's worth nothing May is the rainiest month. Winters can be chilly but are a great time to enjoy sledding and ice skating.
