Very cool, family friendly plaza. The monument itself is very impressive. Free 20 floor stair climb to the top, or $3 elevator ride.

Enjoyed seeing this. Pretty cool. The buildings look like they are moving & a great tribute to our soldiers. As well as our country. There is construction going on. But still able to see move around. At Christmas I herd downtown is beautiful.

This was so cool! I've visited during the winter.. but had no clue there was an elevator to the top! The views were amazing, & on this particular day, we got to ride the elevator for free ( donations accepted). The staff was very friendly & knowledgeable! The elevator was definitely a claustrophobic nightmare... but I survived lol

Very neat monument. Incredible detail on the sculpting and masonry. Looks awesome in the winter, apparently.

The only thing I wish that was changed about this is that it should be entirely a park around it. Currently it is just a road (which is comprised of old brick). There's one segment that has turned into a turf 'lawn', and people seemed to love it. Would be awesome if there were more public pedestrian space around it, because it's so neat.

Great distinction for an evening stroll. Indianapolis is very walkable so get out and see it. The monument and fountain are beautiful. The whole circle is full of restaurants, bars, and stores. Nice areas to sit and enjoy take out.

First time in Indianapolis. In the morning, we were going to Monument, and the elevator was out of order. It was sweaty fun to go all way up and down. I did my legs day for sure. And it's made my trip more fun than I expected.

One of the absolutely most beautiful monuments in the world. The architecture and design behind this is amazing. Plus the combination with the water makes it a must see. There is a museum as well, unfortunately it is closed for remodeling. There are some picnic tables in which to sit and enjoy the place as well. The whole design around the circle makes this place a destination.

Ce lieu est vraiment fantastique. Pour vous bien dire, c'est un lieu où l'on retrouve des monuments historiques témoignant une partie de l'histoire des États-Unis. J'aime la façon dont l'architecte dessine cet endroit. Parce que, quand on voit ça on ne peut dire que WOW, c'est fantastique...
