We went and saw Winter Lights for the first time. The lights were beautiful and the experience was great! They do a fantastic job with the lights display. It just seems overpriced for our kids that dont slow down. Then, buy drinks to enjoy through it. We skipped the merchandise. It seemed really short for the price. And then with people crowding the space and making you feel like you should rush because you did slow down.

Newfields is fantastic. Ive been there to see a ballet at the Toby, and more recently for Harvest Nights. Its a well maintained facility, free and easily accessed parking, and fair pricing for a major art gallery. I dont feel like pricing for entry and food is too surprising, and its comparable to other galleries Ive visited. In fact, I felt their membership pricing was better (more affordable) than others. The staff are very helpful and easy to find. Some really wonderful artists come through this museum, so keep your eyes peeled!

What a wonderful Halloween light tour!!! It was beautiful, spooky, clever, and fed all the senses. We enjoyed a cocktail and snacks along the way. The staff were great! The patrons social distanced appropriately. I only wish it could have been a bit of a bigger display for the price.

Great night out at the Winter lights at Newfields. We went early and was able to enjoy the beautiful lights on a wonderful and warm evening.The lights are spectacular and with reduced numbers and social distancing we were able to enjoy them without the feeling of being part of a crowd.

Very beautiful museum, gardens and the mansion! Lilly’s house was beautifully decorated. The green house and the beer garden had many interesting plants and flowers that I have never seen before. The fountain, the little bridges and surrounding walking paths and gardens were all beautiful and well maintained. Highly recommended for people looking for a leafy and relaxing place!

I recent attended the Harvest Nights and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was without question the most illuminated pumpkins I have ever seen in my life at one time and the attention to detail was impressive with each of the pumpkins having a unique face. The Lilly House show with the projections and music was equally fun to watch, although slightly crowded. Overall, I felt pretty safe with the covid precautions in place (masks required even though outdoors), but there were a few spots where the flow could have been improved slightly to minimize congestion. While it is a bit costly per ticket, I will say it was well worth it and it must have took considerable time and effort to make this experience what it was.

Nice winter lights display. They are following covid safety guidelines, everybody is wearing masks and taking space from each group. You can purchase souvenirs and lights to make the experience even brighter. Very enjoyable for kids and adults. They have drinks, snacks and restrooms available.

The most illuminated pumpkins that I’ve ever seen. There were pluses & minuses to our experience. The pluses were free well organized parking, tickets were easy to purchase, and well decorated. The minuses were the price & crowd size. The attraction is relatively small, so it’s not like you’ll spend a lot time time there. This made the ticket price seem a bit much. I was disappointed how quickly we came to the end. The crowd was larger than I expected. I felt mostly safe since everyone was wearing a mask but in some areas traffic stagnated. Maneuvering the crowd took away from the magic. We went on a weekend, I probably should have opted for a weekday. But...the pumpkins were beautiful.

Absolutely love coming to this place. Peaceful and beautiful. Walk and enjoy nature while enjoyinh a beer or glass of wine. The Lilly house is a wonder to see along with the gardens.

Its so beautiful! Just watch out for fellow patrons who arent wearing masks & dont understand personal space, let alone 6ft apart!

We went for the Halloween lights and decorations and loved the experience. We will be attending again for sure. It’s a good place to go for the entire family and we can’t wait to come back for the winter lights.

Beautiful place to visit with awesome artwork pieces, beautiful gardens, and Eli Lillys house is on the grounds to walk through, so much to see and do, make sure you have a few hours to take it all in!

Lovely museum. Definitely a must see if you are in Indianapolis. It started raining so we missed the gardens but from what we could see they looked beautiful. Staff was friendly. Everything is presented well. I wish there was more Greek just because thats my favorite but otherwise it was great. The shop was a real treat. Cant believe how much they have in there. They are handling Covid well too. Little better direction on where to go since escalators were down would be nice. We figured it out though.

Their holiday events are so much fun and well thought out. Family friendly or a great date night! Always look forward to the next event!! Harvest nights was a fun, spooky time.

Interesting exhibits and art pieces. The outdoor parts are beautiful as well. Currently an entire floor and an exhibit are closed for renovations.

Wonderful museum and surrounding gardens. Harvest fest and Winter lights are fun for the whole family, but I particularly enjoy a quiet, solitary stroll through the grounds and art when I can get it.

The lights were beautiful! Wonderful outdoor activity.

Wow So Stunning. Perfect seasonal event

Beautifil Garden and Gallery. The Place when you can relax and meditate, find some inspiration and feast your eyes.Great stuff in a giftshop. :)

Did the winter lights. It’s pretty. I’ll give them that. But it’s way over priced for what it is, very short. Also, super crowded if you’re worried about COVID. Social distancing is not enforced.

Great family fun! We had a blast here our favorite part of harvest nights at Newfields was the talking pumpkin thats interactive and the ghost train.

The walk through event I had the pleasure of attending was really cool. Though short there were some pretty awesome light show sorta things. Great place and excellent experience!

Beautiful displays, staff was very friendly. Great family fun.

The Christmas lights and decorations were absolutely beautiful!! A for sure sight to see with a lot of photo ops and kid friendly activities!!

Always a pleasure! Even with the current state of the pandemic, we were able to browse, enjoy the installations, and truly get lost in the pleasure of viewing. I absolutely recommend this for enthusiasts young and old!

Love all the outdoor space here! Also participated in a wedding here and it was lovely

Harvests days were great, and the COVID precautions made me feel safe. Liked the outdoor pumpkin path to the gardens so I didn’t need to go inside or touch anything. The pumpkin displays were colorful and brilliant.

Lovely place. Always clean with so much to do! Some days I prefer the gardens and some I like to walk through the galleries. So much to do here. Definitely worth it

Ive never seen so many pumpkins before in my entire life! The Harvest Night is a fun family friendly experience. If you havent gotten to check it out before, you should. Newfields doesnt disappoint!

We went for Harvest Nights, and it was perfectly put together! Great atmosphere, and great entertainment!

We visited for the Christmas lights, our children loved it and made for a very enjoyable walk thru.

The Halloween trail is great. Prepare to be blown away by the train and mansion!

Amazing museum with wonder artwork. The outdoor area is huge and a wonderful place to walk around on a sunny day. Kusama exhibit was particularly interesting.

This place gets better and better with time! This place is one of the most amazing, beautiful places in Indiana to visit. Great history, amazing artwork, well-informed, incredible staff and exceptional detailed information placards. It costs about $18 per adult, but it is worthwhile, especially on a sunny day for the Gardens. This place will always be a special place because I got engaged here! Parking is free and underground so it is covered in the event of rain or snow. Go!

Great Halloween display! It was awesome and family friendly. Lots of hard work, I am glad I came here

Love the grounds at the Art Museum. Many paths to walk. A variety of plants, fountains, and gardens. Decorated for each season. A great place to walk for a day.

Newfields is a Must-Go destination in Indiana! I came for Harvest Festival (October) and will be back for Winterlights (December). World-Class in every way!

Great place to feel just a bit normal during all of this pandemic

The light show is a modern example of patience and precision. Lights have carefully been fastened to the trees and shrubs around the garden and they make for a good show.Theres also a historic Lilly House that you shouldnt miss. One of those places dreams are made of! The light show also has a few food tents and a smore station perfect for the chilly weather. There are a few heating stations in the middle of your tour if you need a recharge.

It was my first time here and I was thoroughly impressed. I dont know much about art but it was enjoyable nonetheless. I would be interested in going back even just for the quiet relaxing atmosphere. It would be great to read a book here! The gift shop was great so I bought a few things. If you are coming you should give yourself plenty of time to look around inside and outside!

It’s so good to be back at Newfields! This is the best place in Indy to relax and find some inspiration. My go-to for bringing friends from out of town. The beer garden and entire experience continue to deliver every single time. Well done Newfields!

Fall festival was awesome! So beautiful, fun and creative.

I love the IMA (Newfields) but my family and I find it absurd that they now charge the full museum ticket price to walk the grounds, gardens. One day recently, we wanted to go to the beer garden within the gardens (where we would spend money for beverages), but they required us to pay for full museum access because the beer garden is in the gardens. We were not going into the museum so we left. It was great when you used to be able to go and walk to gardens for free (I could understand a small fee or parking fee), but now it really is a rip off. They missed out on the money we would have spent in the beer garden besides. I hope they reevaluate their pricing system in the near future.

Very nice display and good attention given to COVID protocol

Pricey but lovely place. Wish I couldve stayed longer. Only real criticism I have is the hours...i wanted to bring my nieces however they are only open until 4p ...most kids are in school until 3 so unless its the weekend or they have a weekday off I cant take them. Outside of that, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and was well worth the price if you are an art lover

Parts of it are excellent and there are quite a few surprises of some famous artworks in there that I did not know were in Indianapolis.But there are many many secondary and tertiary artists who worked in the style of Picasso or Seurat, but theres only one Picasso and theres only one real Seurat.The Asian exhibit is the most lacking but Im glad for that because theres enough of that anywhere.I think they would do better to place lithographs of different artists and have the real thing than the secondary and tertiary artists if they cant afford the paintings.And the fourth floor, for the most part, is a total joke.

We went for Harvest Nights. My fiancé and I are both in our Mid-Twenties and we enjoyed the experience. Super cool and I think price wasn’t bad at all for all the work that was put into making this what it was.

Harvest days is the Biggest let down of 2020. Waste of a trip and money. Im not sure what I paid $31 for. Beer garden was closed, no vendors. We walked around in the pouring rain (rain or shine event). The ONLY reason to go here is if your taking photos and are looking for a pretty background. OR you have money burning a hole in your pocket.

This place is Beautiful. Did not get a lot of time to tour the inside but the gardens are amazing, the views are stunning and full of lots of great photo opertunities. If your looking for a place for an outside venue or wedding you should consider Newfields.

Beautiful place especially during their harvest and winter lights. Amazing team of associates.

Awesome experience would go again next year!

Great museum, enjoyed the exhibits plus the outdoor space. Liked how the themes are tied together at the end of every section. Plan for more time than you think you need! I couldnt see all I wanted to see with the time I had so will have to come back soon. The gardens are also nice and you can get a drink at the beer garden at the end of your visit.

First time here! So much more than I expected! Great museum. Beautiful grounds and gardens to get lost in. The Lily House, the Beer Garden. I spend hours here and cant wait to go back.

Newfields is such a magical place. You will not be disappointed, theres something there for all ages.

The Christmas lights set up is something everyone said we must see around the holidays. I’m glad we did. Even though it was raining, we got to enjoy the walk and a tour of the home. Worth it. Took us about an hour or so to walk around and take pictures of everything.

Great gem in the city. Look up the art exhibits in the 100 acres. They are worth finding in the park and some are hidden. ;)

Wow! We went for the lights, and I have to say it was well worth the cold. They had the finest light displays Ive ever seen. They even had little fireplaces along one of the paths so we could warm our hands. And I loved the tree made of plastic toys.

Amazing, perfect way to celebrate our 15 year anniversary

Went for outdoor pumpkin walk enjoyed it all. Worth the walk.

We absolutely loved the lights this year! The staff was so incredibly kind!! The whole place was magical and perfect and made our holiday session!! Everyone was in awe of the amount of lights!! There clearly was a lot of work that went into the creation of this event and we are grateful to those who decorated, worked the event, and those who are going to have to take it all down!

Magnificent exhibits. Safe and clean environment. I recommend a visit to all.

Beautiful and HUGE! Lots of amazing art old and new.

Newfields is my favourite place in Indianapolis! This is the art, garden, arboretum, historical architecture and family festival destination all in one stop! Formally the Indianapolis Art Museum and grounds has evolved into a never disappointing entertainment complex. One of the best bang for your buck cultural membership opportunities in Indianaolis. In the past year my guests and I have enjoyed a world class art installation of one of the worlds most revered artists Yayoi Kusama, interacted with the works and life of Edward Hopper, experienced a diverse collection of contemporary art such as my personal favourite Sound Suit by Nick Cave and strolled the exterior grounds during the fabulous Harvest Nights festival as well as my families favourite Winterlights. Everything Newfields does is done perfectly. This is a destination for the whole family. There is much more offered than I can praise here! Do yourself a favour, find out what is going on there and go! Get a membership, with so many different things to do it will pay for itself many times over by year end! Peace. Enjoy Art!

Not family friendly. Social distancing is impossible. Overly crowded. Pumpkins are cool, just not $97 for a family of 4 kind of cool. Beer garden would be cool for a date, leave your kids and expectations for social distancing at home.

Great museum! Must see for the original LOVE sculpture. Looking forward to the digital addition!

Very gorgeous and clean! staff were very friendly and even the wildlife as well! butterflies landed on me!

Newfields has been the only place weve felt comfortable being in public during the pandemic. We bought a membership so we can take our 8 month old more often.

Always have a wonderful experience and I look forward to returning in the future.

Went for the beer passport. Only had 6 vendors on site due to covid. Overall not bad but wish there were more beer vendors.

Hot cider and beautiful lights. Wonderful night

One of the best art museums I have ever been to. The collection was diverse and very interesting. I particularly enjoyed the European collection and the special seasons of Japan sections. The entire building had a very nice atmosphere and I particularly enjoyed how different sections were themed differently to compliment the exhibits. After spending a couple hours here, my visited the gardens and even though I visited during the winter and the Flora was not yet blooming, it still was a pretty area. I would definitely visit in the spring or summer when the gardens are at their peak.Overall a wonderful museum and I would highly recommend visiting!

Fantastic Autumn evening. Harvest Nights was the highlight of our weekend visit. Stand up effort on the part of the staff.

Enjoyed the Harvest Nights at the IMA. Just the right amount of spooky and still kid-friendly at the same time! Would highy recommend for a nice family outing :)

I love strolling through the gardens here and viewing paintings and learning about the artists in the museum. A membership would make a great mothers day gift.

Fantastic display of fall lights.

Maybe because of COVID-19 this year...but harvestLights were not good at all. They pushed people through one direction and had most of the paths blocked off. I was very disappointed, especially for the money spent. If thats any indication of what winter lights will be like, we will not be going to that this year. We have loved it in the past, but not sure id spend the money

Really cool but pretty short. For the cost, I thought there would be more to do and see

Beautiful grounds, enjoyed the Halloween event they put on. Looking forward to visiting post covid

Winter Lights are extraordinary. One tree has 50,000 lights and takes 2 weeks to decorate! The synchronized lights and music in the Lully House yard are fun to watch. So much to see and worth the price, BUT buy the 5pm tickets. You will have ample parking and the grounds get dark shortly afterward in December. When we left at 7pm, the line just to get onto the grounds was backed up quite a bit!

Very nice art Museum with fine works, definitely worth a visit!

Amazing display of art, both modern and from previous periods. Numerous exhibits to walk through and take a tour of history. Famous painters such as Rembrandt and Monet among the works. Exhibits included samurai swords, fashion, portraits. Really amazing. Free parking and admission of only $18 with four floors of the museum and outdoor sculptures.

We enjoyed walking the grounds with all the fall pumpkins during the Harvest Fest. Especially with the almost full moon.

Short, but a cool place to visit as family

It was very enjoyable,just wish the pumpkins were spread out a little more.

1st time visitor and fell in love. Well worth paying the membership fee if you plan on coming back more than once. I appreciate the free parking. Excellent contemporary and traditional art. Something for everyone.

Beautiful grounds and building, exhibits were less exciting. vessels, portraits, and landscapes abound. design exhibit had some neat stuff.

We enjoyed our visit very much. We only had time to see about half the art museum, but we were impressed. The Design section was particularly interesting. We also enjoyed the gardens.

We love going to IMA. We were really unhappy when they started to charge to get in, but since they have started to charge. They have been steadily improving the grounds and the events that they are holding. We love going in spring for the flowers, and in winter for the lights. Of you are visiting Indy it is definitely a good place to visit.

Great museum! Incredible collection. Great art from around the world and through time. The building itself is interesting too. They have gardens also, but we didnt see them as the weather was cold and rainy and only the 1st day of spring, but they are supposed to be very nice

Winterlights at Newfields is our Favorite Family Tradition!

Absolutely wonderful experience-- highly recommend Newfields / IMA, and especially now with Harvest Nights.

The lights are beautiful.

Newfields is the best museum in Indianapolis. The rotating gallery is always something interesting, the gorgeous gardens, the mix of styles and eras, I love it all. Get a membership, it’s so worth it.

Went for the first time in many years, after finally purchasing a dual membership. It took a while to figure out the revised layout, so we got in a bit more walking than originally planned, which was fine since there were so many Spring blooms to look at. Spent time in the greenhouse taking in the various plants there, including many varieties of orchids. Finished the day looking at the unique offerings to be found in the museum shop. Purchasing a membership highly recommended for locals, as you will want to visit the grounds frequently throughout the year, not to mention the art museum itself. (There are discounts if you select a digital version.)

The Halloween walk was great and look forward to the Christmas walk also

If it wasnt for the free tickets I received for Harvest Night I would never pay 25 for the event. It was beautiful but not worth 25

Haunted Harvest trail - Very enjoyable! Love the haunted mansion!

Wether for a special event or a regular day trip its worth admission.

The trails and scenery, the fall harvest decorations, touring the house... We could have stayed his longer!!

I really enjoyed the Harvest Night attractions and all the decorations. All were worth it, will come again!
