Essential Indianapolis There’s nothing more thrilling and satisfying than a live performance.

Watching musicians play, actors emote and dancers soar is a shared, real-time experience that often stays with one forever.

In this issue of Where, you’ll find a guide to the city’s thriving arts scene as well as myriad other activities that will make your visit truly memorable.

Late summer/early fall is the perfect time for a stroll through Oldfields Gardens on the grounds of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The weather is temperate and hints of autumn hues appear in the trees, flowers and shrubs.

Designed by Percival Gallagher, of the famed Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm, the grounds contain six gardens. The Formal Garden is entered through white arbors and contains roses, perennials and a fountain. The grand Allée

BEEF & BOARDS DINNER THEATRE What pairs best with a live stage production?

Dinner, of course. Since 1973, Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre has been simultaneously dishing up both theatrical performances and lavish dinners. beefandboards.com THE CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS A hub for the arts, the Center for the Performing Arts is led by artistic director Michael Feinstein. The center hosts local theater, dance and music organizations and guest artists such as Postmodern Jukebox, Chris Botti and Michael McDonald.

THE SYMPHONY For more than 80 years, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has been a leader of the city’s impressive cultural scene.

Founded in 1930 with volunteer musicians, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra went professional in 1937 under the directorship of Fabien Sevitzky, nephew of renowned conductor Serge Koussevitzky. The ISO soon became a pinnacle of culture on the Indianapolis performing-arts scene and one of the country’s leading orchestras.

Touring the world in the 1950s and 1960s, the ISO received international acclaim, as well as a letter of commendation from President John F. Kennedy.

The symphony’s current music director, Krzysztof Urbański, was appointed in 2011 and, at the time, was the youngest music director of a major U.S. orchestra. The ISO presents a variety of programs, from the Lilly Classical Series to pops concerts to the childrenfocused SymFUNy Sundays. indianapolissymphony.org

NEIGHBORHOODS

Fountain Square With its storied history dating back to 1835 and its growing prosperity over the decades, Fountain Square has most recently evolved into one of the hippest and most exciting cultural neighborhoods in Indianapolis. Once a 264-acre farm bought by former city leaders Calvin Fletcher and Nicholas McCarty, the area quickly became a destination for immigrants and thus became Indianapolis’ main commercial district. Now, complete with nationally recognized restaurants, bars, breweries, art galleries, live entertainment and a link to the Cultural Trail that ribbons across the city, Fountain Square is at its core a culturally thriving neighborhood attracting a continuous flow of both locals and tourists.

Indianapolis Your Way UNIQUE TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS, FIT TO MATCH YOUR PERSONAL STYLE. FIND THE CITY CURATED FOR YOU AT WHERETRAVELER.COM/INDIANAPOLIS

Sports Geeks

Relaxation Seekers

First-Timer

Join in on this state’s passion for basketball and enjoy the fast pace of Indiana’s WNBA team, the Fever, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse (1).

After witnessing the excitement of women’s professional basketball, head down to the NCAA Hall of Champions (2) in downtown Indianapolis, where the history of all of collegiate sports glory can be found and celebrated. If tossing around the pigskin is more your thing, catch the Indianapolis Colts playing in the breathtaking Lucas Oil Stadium (3) with a state-of-the-art retractable roof that opens up on sunny days.

If meditation is what you seek during your stay in Indianapolis, get connected with the mind and body at Invoke Yoga and Pilates (1), home of the state’s largest studio space. After you have stretched every muscle in your body, enjoy a nice day at Eagle Creek Park (2) where open spaces of grass are a perfect place to picnic. If you’re looking to take your mind off of things, relax during a float session at A Place to Float (3). Enjoy the silence while suspended in water filled with Epsom salts; it helps relieve stress and enhance mindfulness.

The Indy 500 is a highlight on the city’s calendar, attracting 400,000 spectators every May. At other times, visitors can experience the hype and learn about racing history at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum (1). For an activity with a slower pace, head for The Canal and White River State Park (2), a beautiful waterway and stunning urban green space smack in the beating heart of downtown. Then, the Indiana War Memorial Museum (3) inspires feelings of patriotism with exhibits that chronicle the bravery and sacrifice of Hoosier soldiers throughout history.
