This is the Indianapolis Art Museum. Great exhibits and beautiful outdoor gardens to explore. This is also home to the historial Lilly House. Lots of interactive activities. This place holds lots of memories for us as we always see their amazing Christmas lights and Harvest Festival. This is also where we took our engagement photos (see photos section).
This is a nature park attached to the grounds of the Indianapolis Art Museum. Interactive art sculptures, lots of trails, and great view of the Lilly House. There is a lake with trails all around it. We also took some engagement photos at this park (see photos section)
Great location in heart of downtown Carmel, right off the Monon trail. In the plaza, there's Sun King Brewery, a great brewery with a food hall. There are other great restaurants and bars in the plaza including Fork and Ale House and Social Cantina. Lots of other local restaurants within a 2-3 block radius.
The Monon Trail is a 20 mile long walking and bike path that goes through Indianapolis, Carmel, and further north. It goes through the heart of downtown Carmel next to lots of great restaurants and parks.
