love is blue:“The Children's Museum was great fun and I recommend buying a package if your family plans to visit again. The dinosaurs were free to roam around the museum and it was a great start to the museum. There were also colorful pictures on display in the parking area that everyone could walk around. A life-size Transformer was displayed in the lobby. All the docents were very friendly and helpful. Many of the interactive parts were very well designed and required full attention. It would take 2-3 visits to see all the exhibits. If you can, it is better to come mid-week as this is a popular attraction.”

667***77:“Indianapolis is most famous for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which hosts the Indy500 race. I stayed overnight nearby to have fun here without getting too tired. When I drove here, the venue was quite large and the road was under construction at the entrance, so it was easy to miss. During the period, I asked two passers-by, who were very polite to show me the way. To get to the racing museum, you have to drive through a tunnel, but you have already entered the racing venue. Parking is free. The museum ticket is $10, and a lap of the track plus the commentary is a total of $20 per person. The commentator is very interesting. I took pictures and watched as much as I wanted on the track. It was worth it, but the sun was so strong! There are many racing cars on display in the museum, and there is also a Mario special exhibition.”

joyeuse:“It's a gymnasium, with a large area. There are usually NBA basketball games there. The appearance is pretty good, and it's quite eye-catching in the sunset or under the lights, but it's hard to take a good close-up shot because it's too big to frame.”

Guest User:“after an amazing experience in December staying in a corner suite I had my daughter for a daddy daughter Easter weekend and I decided to book the same corner suite to really treat her. We stayed from Friday, April 18 checked out Sunday midday April 20 when I arrived, I asked concierge if I could give them the bag of stuff from the Easter bunny. I simply asked if they could put it in the room not only did they put it in the room, but they had arranged everything in a very nice way that made my job. Is the Easter bunny very easy Sunday morning. shout out to Justin, Jesse Ishmael, Omar, Samuel Ingrid in housekeeping among several others you all make me feel like the most important person in the world. Every time I stay there when I know for a fact this time there were many more VIP guests than myself. I was a little hesitant that the pool may be a little boring for my seven-year-old daughter however we essentially could not leave. The happy Easter card under the door with the breakfast vouchers was an unbelievable surprise. I only wish I could bring an unlimited stack of cash to tip the team every time I stay at the Conrad because I never seem to bring enough. They deserve everything they get and more. Thank you all for providing me and my daughter with an unforgettable weekend and we will be back soon sooner rather than later!!! I cannot recommend taking To a corner suite anymore stayed in 1401 in December and 15 oh1 this past weekend just amazing amazing view of the city and an amazing room.”

Dr. Puppio:“Great location…, two minutes by foot from the hotel to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse (Pacers game). It’s a fair hotel.., and at the moment the place is in maintenance. The breakfast was improvised.., but was good (American Standard). The room was cramped (two double beds).., but the bathroom iwas spacious. I’d stay again..!”

Guest User:“Very nice clean hotel. We didn’t even realize until we were there that the hotel had a walkway connecting to the Fashion mall. The bar service was awesome, the bartender was very friendly and made amazing drinks. You can take drinks up to your room as well which we loved. The staff was all very nice and the location was very convenient if you’re doing something in Indy.”
