Indianapolis splits cleanly into a few clusters: the downtown around Monument Circle and the canal, the museum complex of White River State Park, the Speedway out west, and the Broad Ripple and Massachusetts Avenue neighbourhoods for shops, food, and bars. The standout single attraction is the Children's Museum — the largest in the world, and worth a full day if you have kids. Beyond that, the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, the Indiana State Museum, and the Speedway Museum form the trio that most visitors hit.
Indy is also unexpectedly rich in offbeat sights — John Dillinger's grave at Crown Hill Cemetery, the Kurt Vonnegut museum, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, the moon tree, and a steam-powered clock that whistles "Back Home Again in Indiana" on the hour.
