Sights and Attractions of Indianapolis

As you are registering to attend PHA’s 2014 International PH Conference in Indianapolis, you are probably wondering what makes Indy so special. Indianapolis is a thriving city and beautiful place to plan a family vacation or a singles retreat. We all know that Indianapolis is home to the NFL Indianapolis Colts, but the city has a variety of attractions for everyone! Don’t believe us? We spoke to the local Indianapolis PH Support Group members and asked for their top picks of attractions in the area.

Here’s what they had to say:

“I’m in Indy, and I highly recommend the museums: Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, Museum of Art, Conner Prairie Interactive History Park. And our Children's Museum is known as the best in the country. There’s also a great variety of arts and entertainment downtown and around Indy, too, for the young adult crowd.”

– Natalie Tolley, PH Parent, Indianapolis, Ind.

“White River State Park is in downtown Indy and just across the street from the [Conference hotel] JW Marriott Indianapolis. The park has many acres with a beautiful zoo, museums, five memorials, world-renowned Imax theater, a beautiful canal with paddle boats, gondolas, bicycles, segway tours, fountains, and free summer concerts! We are also home to Circle Center Mall, a three-floor Simon mall with many great restaurants and stores. And all of this is within walking distance of the Marriott.”

–Cindy Battiato, PH Caregiver, Indianapolis, Ind.
