Very beautiful place! We visited it both in the morning and at night. Every part of the monument has some beautiful details - would recommend visitors to take some time and enjoy the details of it. This area could be a bit confusing for pedestrians while cars and horses all get into the roads - it might be much better to set it a pedestrian only area.

Very cool monument. They had a light show on the playing on the surrounding buildings the night we were there. Find a scooter and take a ride around Indianapolis at night. Beautiful city and now one of my favorite places to visit!!!

Was wonderful and beautiful. The project on the building is amazing. Even with the cold temperature you need to see it at night.

Very educational place. Ive been going for 8 years and now I am able to take my kids. Lots of neat things from history and its FREE

I think its an interesting place but I dont give 5 stars because with a better care, could be really awesome

Always so many things to do! Even during protesting...Indy came together and created beautiful art. Our farmers market is still going on. Next week is the last week!

I went to Indianapolis to go bike riding and as I was heading back to my car, there was a gathering of about 20-30 people having a peaceful protest. These people were respectful and the monument area was clean and well cared for as it always is everytime I go downtown.

I always love to see special places of a city. This was a particularly nice monument.

There was a Biden rally when we went which was cool, you always see people gathering here for their causes. Lots of cool places to eat all around and I comic book store

Very nice monument. Huge and details. Seeing lot of parents bring young kids there.

We went last winter to Indianapolis just for a day tour. The city is beautiful. Not so much crowd. The elevator at that time was not working. dont know why. We went to the top by stairs. It was too tiring but the view from top is really beautiful.

It is a disgrace to see the circle taken over by bums and beggars. They are sleeping in front of the Circle theater entrance 4 and 5 at a time, hanging out on every corner, littering and trashing out wherever they lay and sit. Theyll be 2 feet from a trashcan and yet they will throw their trash on the ground. They constantly annoy, disgust, and scare people passing by. The Circle is the center piece of our city, a must see place for visitors who come from all over the country, yet what do they see? Practically a hobo jungle, full of drunks, drug addicts, criminals, and people with mental problems. Whatever happened to loitering laws? Littering laws? Public nuisance laws? There are nearby parks where they could go and hang out. They should not be allowed to trash out the heart of our city.

Went for this years bike rally. It was amazing. Love the monument.

The Indiana State Soldiers and Sailors Monument is a 284 ft 6 inch neoclassical monument built on Monument Circle, a circular, brick-paved street that intersects meridian and market streets in the center of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.It is also the largest outdoor memorial and the largest of its kind in Indiana.It rests on a raised foundation surrounded by pools and fountains.The monument has become an iconic symbol of Indianapolis.Apart from the history this place is really awesome so dont miss this it.Evening lot of people visit this place.Apt location for photo lovers.

Was moved by this beautiful place, the architecture and craftsmanship to create the stunning monuments are phenomenally done. This monument is on par with anything similar found in Washington D.C

Very well though out monument. A lot of detail. Located in a circle that you have to view it from the 4 different sides.

Very beautiful monument. Theres a great atmosphere in the surrounding area. Its located very closely to stores and restaurants.

Beautiful monument in a spectacular roundabout. This place is always populated with unique things to do from live music to random gatherings. Great place to take photos too.

Very clean, great place to hang out and people watch. Great shops near too including Starbucks and Rocket Fizz

A 360°view of the whole city! A must see in downtown Indianapolis.There is a gift shop with lots of memorabilia and theyre reasonably priced. There is an obelisk stairs that go to the top and it takes 330 steps to get you to the topor you can pay $2 to take the elevator. If youve ever been in a lighthouse stairs, its pretty much the same.Beautiful scenery at night with horse and carriage rides around the city and lots of shopping outside as well as an indoor mall and restaurants. Nice walk and architectural designed buildings are amazing.

Easy to get to, lots of open space and opportunities for pictures!

Iconic centerpiece to the city beautifully decked out with fountains, lights, building projection and soundtrack. Always a good photo op for locals and travelers alike.

The IBEW did a wonderful job decorating the Monument.

Because of ignorant protestors buildings were boarded up. Creepy people walking around. Did not feel safe. This city has become an embarrassment.

Wedding day photos.... great place for our entire party to gather in multiple settings

What an awesome monument. A must see for anyone visiting Indianapolis. The craftsmanship is absolutely beautiful and the view from the top is pretty nice. Good workout traveling the narrow staircase though. I’d recommend taking the elevator if you have a hard time going up stairs or are weary of narrow spaces.

Cool site, well lit, traffic is hectic.

This was so much fun to just sit at and people watch. Def recommend visiting!!

Christmas Lights presentation was great!!

Really beautiful place in the Indianapolis downtown, lots of activities, horse ride, brewercar, fountain with memorial soldier monument, great food around soldier monument, mall, also war memorial

Finding a place to park can be a bit daunting, but the structure itself is gorgeous! If you go inside the museum is fantastic too!!Free to go through, just be respectful but enjoy yourself!They also have different displays that come through. The one I saw was for 9/11.Very glad I went!!

Use to be a beautiful monument and place to sit and enjoy the weather and water, hustle and bussel of downtown. Since the protest downtown. Building still boarded up, random activity such as apparent drug activity, drinking and no police present. People hanging out for all the wrong reasons. Sad.

My wife and I went up this tower a few years ago. It only cost a couple dollars to go up, but we felt achieved by doing so. Great views, friendly staff. I highly recommend this stop!

Watch out for panhandlers. And the brick roads surrounding it are filthy.

Amazing monument! Just absolutely beautiful. What a neat feature for one of the midwests largest cities. Love the intricacy of the sculptures.

Beautiful monument situated in the heart of downtown Indy. Theres always something going on here. Be it a political rally, car show, farmers market or anything in between.

Great views at the top! Don’t forget to visit the top view! Veterans and Active Duty military can ride up for free so make sure you don’t miss out!There are also some stairs that go all the way up for those who want to get some extra steps in(;

A cool memorial but I wouldve enjoyed it more if they didnt allow homeless people to sleep right up against it, or anyone for that matter.

Nice area to relax on steps lights put on monument on holidays.

Enjoyed exploring the monuments details. Lovely flowers. Spectacular morning. Highly recommend!

Beautiful fountain, the sculptures are properly solemn and impressive. Its definitely centered on the white contribution to history.

Soldiers & sailors monument if the iconic emblem of the city. Every visitor of Indianapolis must make time to come to monument circle. it is a major contributor to what makes Indianapolis have an amazing downtown. Worthy of vacations, conferences, or just a day or evening to treat yourself.

Absolutely worth making the trip to see the lights at Christmas time it was beautiful they did a great job. The monument itself is amazing, breathtaking & the historic value priceless. It is a magnificent piece honoring our veterans. There is also a gift shop & if you go during the right hours you can go to the top of the monument & look out very cool.

The heart of Indianapolis. Great views to the state capital. Awesome place for pictures.

Beautiful monument, the water feature is an amazing backdrop for an awesome piece of art. The roundabout makes it feel like international destination. Great stop in the middle of a 10 mile run.

Had a great time lot of nice looking motorcycles down there this evening

Nice place to rest amongst the hustle and bustle of the city.

Great city center always alive with music and people. Place is a cool piece of history and a lot bigger than it seems. Going to try and go back and take the trip to the top! If you’re in town it’s worth a drive around the monument just to see it.

Beautiful! This has to be the nice city ever. Everything here is beautiful

Beautiful lights and quiet place to enjoy

Walked out after hitting pier 99 around the block - fountain was off and museum closed until next spring - but it was still a work of art and worthy of admiration. Id go back and walk it next time Im in town!

Weird how the kids just roll around all night on scooters. Nobody have parents after midnight. Its a sidewalk for walking, not moving for scooters. Other than that, very nice area.

I definitely suggest taking the stairs up the obelisk. It will give you a real work out! (and its also free.) There is a elevator that is also available. All you have to do is pay for a ticket. If your in downtown Indi, you should see the monument because of its significance and its beauty.

It was a nice night out. Not too crowded on the circle. Good atmosphere. Love my city!!!

Had lots of fun. Will definitely go again with the family

Beautiful monument... vagrants have taken refuge in the circle, so be careful

Everything was closed... But an absolutely beautiful monument.

Always love chillin on the circle. Me and the kid were riding bikes and making music videos.

The monument is enormous and beautiful to look at. We climbed to the top and really enjoyed the challenge. The views were good, but not absolutely breathtaking for me. I can’t help but compare these kinds of views to the Columbia center skyview observatory in Seattle and that’s hard to beat. Still really glad we did it, though!The staircase gets pretty tight at the top, so it can be a bit crowded, but the elevator wasn’t running which meant everyone was walking up and down, making a bit more congested than it might have been otherwise. The last several flights have space for one person side to side, while the flights below have room for about 2.

Very beautiful place to visit. If youre in downtown Indianapolis its a memorable location. The area around it is full of restaurants and other interesting things to do.

Nice place to walk next to the monument with gorgeous fountain. I would recommend to take electric scooter (they are scattered around that place) and get through different streets around that monument.

History at your hand, you can explain to your kids what Indiana soldiers did for the cause

Its a memorial, not a lot to rate. But extremely cool nonetheless

The architecture and detail was great. Loved the history lesson inscribed on it as well. Also like the music piping through the speakers. It was a nice touch.

Very well designed and created. Very clean area, the city plays music that can be heard throughout the circle.

Always awesome and even better since the started the evening entertainment the shows on the side of the buildings.

This was a beautiful landmark in our city and it has become unsafe and a disgrace. The Mayor needs to step up and clean our beautiful city back up.

Great place for a walk and to take memory photos with friends or family.

Beautiful monuments in the heart of Indianapolis. The brick streets surrounding it make it feel even more historic. There is plenty of pedestrian only area to walk around and truly enjoy the monuments. Parking was a little hard to find, but I drove straight into the circle, and I had never been there before. With some planning, Im sure its not too different. They have beautiful horses and carriages lined up waiting to take you for a scenic ride. I didnt have much time, but I cannot wait to go back. Very impressive! Well done Indianapolis, well done!

This is an awesome spot to chill... #Litty #quarantineNchill

Beautiful place on middle downtown of Indianapolis.

Go there. Friendly staff. Has a lot. Good location.

This is like a plaza you see in a European city. Its a beautiful monument. You can take the elevator or stairs to the top observation deck.

Nice place to go to get ice cream take a walk around the block.... Nice pkave yo take photos

Awesome site to visit and take photos.

Its a very nice monument right in center City. I must see if not for a photo op, just for a drive-by. it look like it may have been an observation tower at one time. It would be really nice if it was still open in that capacity. A very beautiful signature work of art.

Very nice got some nice pictures.

This is a happening place. Fills like the centerpiece of downtown Indianapolis. Great views of the skyscrapers while in the observation deck. Free for military veterans. Great fountains and statues surrounded this structure.There are cute restaurants all round. Gelato, coffee shops even the Circle city mall is within walking distance

Very beautiful. I loved how the buildings around the circle also curve around it. Flowers were beautiful. Plenty of places to relax and enjoy the beauty.

Beautiful spot to get the view for Indianapolis.Get there at sunset and catch the most beautiful view of the city . There is a lift for 2$ that you pay for and reach the top of the monument. Take that or 330 steps (for the young fit buffs)

Its a nice place to visit but they need to get rid of the crime

It was awesome and the view from the top was great! I wish that I had more time to enjoy it. It was much bigger than I thought it would be

Love downtown Indy, especially at Christmas

Awesome memorial to those that have served.

Lots of history from Revolutionary war and other early wars, very large scale, beautiful statue and fountains.

Interior is closed due to covid.Exterior is as beautiful as ever.

Very cool monument/fountain. Music playing.

Very nice. Well kept and impressive.

Awesome architectural monument with loads of statues, in a great central downtown location. Sad I showed up too late to take the elevator to the top. Great place to be around sunset.

What a surprise, in a heart of Indianapolis amazing, huge monument surround by old architecture mix with new one. Definitely its worth it to see it, if you can add it children museum its very nice two days trip. Highly recommended !!

Yearly visit to Strawberry Festival and it was as wonderful as ever!downtown Indy is fun to visit. The monument has a nice museum and climbing to the toppings one a unique view of the circle and surrounding buildings.

Very cool monument! Give yourself some time and check it out.

Definetly something one would want to visit at least once. You can pay to ride the elevator up but I like a challenge and those 330 steps are definetly one. It was kinda cool to meet people who use it on their routine run to exercise

The monument was really cool to see! You are able to see the entire city of Indianapolis. The stairs are small steps and a small space to walk through, I recommend the elevator for $2 its so worth it! The space on top is small but it is a must see!

Incredible monument with a fantastic light show about our great service men and women who give us our freedom!! Unfortunately, this freedom was used to vandalize, burn and loot everything around this monument... very sad!! Boarded up and burned out buildings all the way around the circle! - Mayor Hogsett should be embarrassed and ashamed of himself for allowing this to happen!

Indy home of my Colts. Thanks to the service of our heros that have and continue to protect our country

The monument is very nice to look at. Very detailed. Theres a brochure inside the gift shop that details the meaning of each of the carvings. The elevator and the stairs to the observatory are not for the claustrophobic.

Phenomenal. I absolutely love it. Tonight it was crowded more than usual because of an event. Besides that, the place is beautiful, and the city is incredible.

A great spot to take the family and beautiful views from the top. A nice museum in the basement as well.

Very nice walk and sites to see downtown. You can travel up the monument by walking up the 330(+/-) stairs (free) or ride the elevator ($1). It was a nice view.
