Even if you just drive by, this is wonderful but the entire square is worth strolling around. Traffic seems amazingly light and it is no problem driving in the "big city". Park someplace and stroll around!

Background: family of four (2 kids [9&13];2 adults/parents [late 30's early 40's]) life-long Hoosiers on a tight budget visted on a Sunday afternoon in May, specifically on Indy 500 Sunday.

We stopped to see the monument, but it was a weekday. Monument was only open on weekends, Fri, Sat, Sun. Beautiful monument to see, statues are first class. Different subjects from all angles. This type of statue could not be created today. Would have liked to climb to the top, but not open.

Located in the center circle area, great focal point and beautifully created. Take some time and walk around and take in the sights.

People are so used to seeing the monument that they forget that there is a nice museum inside it. It is dedicated to the Civil War.... More

What an awe-inspiring monument. I loved the location and the sculptures were outstanding. A definite must see in downtown Indianapolis.
