He does not remember the first time we took them, but I was blown away by the caliber of this outdoor space (and museum, of course). The sports park is divided into sections dedicated to basketball, football, baseball, hockey, soccer, racing, and had a quarter mile track that looped around the perimeter. Everything is super interactive and educational. Not to mention, the enormous treehouse! The weather was beautiful and we clocked three hours outdoors! Highly recommended for kids of all ages... including adults.

I may need to take a class on how to throw an ax because I wasn't able to get it to stick for the most part. I was scared to use the bathroom because there was a hefty deep brown ring. So I asked if it could be cleaned. I never went back in. Someone later said it was a hard water stain. I was too grossed out to go back in there. I'd definitely visit again.

This is the place you need to be. Plenty of areas for you to throw some axes or just to sit and talk. Also in the perfect area if you want to drop off the kids and shop around.

One of the most interesting tours I have heard, and I knew little about engines before I went. The…read moretour was led by two gentlemen who worked for Rolls Royce. Their knowledge, great stories, and enthusiasm really made the tour. My dad and brother love engines and had lots of questions the guides happily answered. My mom and I know less, but the guides were great about taking the conversation up a level that made the presentation very understandable and fascinating to us. I enjoyed learning about the history of Rolls Royce and Allison, and the evolution of engineering the guides illustrated using engines they have collected and restored. This a great tour for anyone who loves to learn. If you enjoy engines (car or plane), don't miss it.

Excellent little museum at the Rolls/Allison headquarters. Sign in at the front desk. I got there…read morejust before 9 so I had to wait a few minutes, but there are magazines and books in the lobby, comfy chairs, and a few aircraft models. There's a small company store, sadly closed on the day I went. The museum covers the history of Allison very well, and the later merger with RR. Mostly Allison engines on display, a few RR. Models on top of each engine depict the aircraft that used it. Some engines are cutaway; one or two are operable with the push of a button. A few artifacts from the factories, and information about the other products they've produced. Towards the back are spacecraft parts; I did not know Allison was involved with that. Of course, not being an Indy native, I didn't know about his connection to the Speedway, or Prestolite, etc. All well-organized, brightly lit, lovingly cared for. And free. If you are anywhere nearby, this is worth a visit. If you are an aviation buff, get yourself here however far away you are.

We were planning to visit Skateland, however their first Sunday session didn't begin until 3pm, so…read moreI decided to take my crew to Roller City's 1pm public session. They are very lax with enforcing the mask requirement, which was disturbing. Adult and children patrons, as well as staff, not wearing masks or improperly wearing masks risks everyone's safety. The Snack stand makes snacks to order, so I had to wait 15 minutes for an undercooked, doughy pretzel and a semi-decent slice of pepperoni pizza which costed me nearly $7. The upside is that there weren't a lot of people present and they didn't charge a "spectator" fee, which is something new that Skateland implemented for non-skating patrons.

They even have some nights with live entertainment like local high school choirs or bands from the Ampitheater. There were 3 or 4 other families there at the same time as us but we were able to keep our distance and look at the displays at our own pace. Park in the community center parking lot and look for the giant candy canes to enter the park. There is a large staircase but for easier accessibility, just follow the pathway behind the community center and come out in the park next to the Ampitheater. We stopped in the night after a crazy storm, so some of the displays were damaged and only about half the lights were on. We didn't quite get the full experience but it was still beautiful and a fun experience. I love this park so I'm glad to see they have winter activities too.

If you haven't been before, the entire zoo is transformed with food vendors lined along the walkways from some of the best restaurants in town. There are also coffee stands, tea stations, and little pop-up bars scattered everywhere. Live music, different genres, were peppered throughout the zoo as well, which makes the whole experience even better; something for everyone. It's one of my favorite fundraisers in Indy. Already looking forward to next year.

The planning that goes into this ride is impeccable. The leadership from my great friend Jon Clahan over the years really shows with how successful and safe the ride has been. There are so many volunteers and so much planning that goes into this ride. Everyone always comes back with big smiles on their faces. It is definitely a must do if you live in Indy and have a bike! And its great for the whole family!

Janice beat me to it! Fantastic review! ;)…read more Last night was my first Nite Ride and what can I say? It was a BLAST. First off, the weather couldn't have been better. The volunteers and enthusiastic spirit of the 4,000+ riders is contagious! Can't wait to pimp my bike out for next year's 17 mile ride. The leisurely ride kicks off at Iupui at 11pm and makes its way throughout downtown before heading north to Butler's Campus. Once there, everyone can socialize for a minute, grab complimentary cookies (heyo, fig newtons) and water. One of my favorite parts along the ride is those who stand on their porches and sidewalks changing and cheering us on. At the end of the ride I couldn't help but think, wow, what if we all rode our bikes like this on a daily basis? What would the makeup of Indy be like with masses and enthusiasm like this. Amsterdam knows what's up. Why not this flat grid city in the middle of the heartland too? :)

Rows of claw machines with stuffies and smaller machines with keychains and backpack charms. The owner or manager was very friendly and explained how it worked. You pay $1 for a rechargeable swipe card and most machines are 1 swipe with a few being 2 swipes. You can load whatever amount you want onto your card but they give you extra credits for 29 and 50 dollar purchases. There is also a recharge machine up front. There is a large stuffie in most machines and you can win it if you get 3 of the same prize from that machine. There are also larger stuffed animals and backpacks at the counter you can trade up for. Any 3 small animals for one of the larger on the counter and when we were there it was 5 small animals for a backpack off the counter. What I liked was that the claw tensions were set so you could actually win prizes. We left with about 9 or 10 item. Several key chains, a large stuffie I traded for and 4 small stuffies. They were all good quality too! I don't plan to go back any time soon because I don't need anymore stuffed animals but I sure do want to go back. lol I've recommended this place to several friends and some have already taken their kids. So much fun. I highly recommend going even if you just want to look. https://atmosfy.io/reviews/741295?referrer=lililuvsfood&share_type=review&utm_medium=share_video

I love that you can trade 3 from the same machine for a bigger prize or a collection from different machines for a prize up front. We spent about $30 per person and won 4 big capybaras plus 3 small stuffed animals across 5 of us. I saw young kids winning with relative ease, but it's easy to get discouraged at first as you get into the groove. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Even offered to fluff up some of the toys when they saw a young kid struggling to win on one. The sign does say arcade but this is 95% claw machines with one or two VR type games in the back. Come for the claw machines - it's a lot of fun but plan on spending $20-30 per person.
