What to do and see in Downtown Indianapolis, Indiana (IN): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

April 7, 2022 Oliva Fomby

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.

Rocket Fizz

Reviewed By RICART75 - Peru, United States

What a joy to visit! It's Willy Wonka meets old school general store. There's an amazing selection of specialty sodas (the root beer options alone are amazing); as well as a cornucopia of candy from which to choose. The novelty signs, and other items, create a fun and whimsical ambiance. If one is strolling downtown Indy, this is a great place to stop in and enjoy (and/or indulge) the senses.
