Top 10 Things to do in Broad Ripple, Indiana (IN)
High-speed, history and good old Hoosier hospitality are a few reasons to put Indianapolis on your list of great getaways. Sports is another. From the legendary Indianapolis 500 to the Pacers and the Colts, the city offers ample opportunities to view professional and amateur sporting events, take part in athletic events and visit sports museums. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Hall Of Fame Museum you can tour the famous track (try to reserve tickets if there is a race in town) or visit the museum dedicated to automobiles and auto racing. Other sporty museums include the NCAA Hall of Champions. To get in on some of the action, head to SportZone which features six acres of indoor athletic facilities the whole family will enjoy. Those less interested in sports, or with kids in tow, can still find tons to do in and around the city. History, art and other cultural attractions abound. Visit the Children's Museum or checkout the zoo. Stroll along cobblestone streets past 19th-century buildings in the Lockerbie Square District or visit any number of historic landmarks. Known as the "Crossroads of America," more interstate highways bisect Indianapolis than any other city in the country, making it an exciting and easily accessible destination.

I'm not sure my wife and I have ever visited an art center comparable to the Indianapolis Art Center. Located at 820 East 67th Street, on the banks of the White River in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indianapolis, it was founded in 1934. Today, it is housed in a magnificent 40,000-square-foot building that sits on a 9.5-acre space and was designed and built by Indiana-born architect Michael Graves in 1996. It features an entry portico with 32-foot columns, large rectangular and round windows and stucco painted peach, red ochre and blue. It also features fine art exhibitions, art classes, 13 art studios, a gift shop, a 255-seat auditorium, a library with more than 5,000 titles and, perhaps the most popular attraction of all, a 12.5-acre sculpture garden highlighted by the Twisted House sculpture. There are studios for painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, computer graphics, woodworking, glassblowing, ceramics, metal smithing, steel and stone sculpture and benchwork. It all makes for fascinating browsing.
