Get Your Indy Thrills for Less

• Make Thursday your day for free admission. Several Indy attractions offer free admission on Thursdays. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, one of the nation's top attractions and the most popular museum in the country, is free from 4 – 8 p.m. on Thursdays. Christmas Eve, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and El Dia de Los Ninos are free admission days as well. The Newfields Indianapolis Museum of Art in downtown is also free on Thursdays from 4 – 9 p.m.
• Discover historic memorials and monuments. Inspired by fifth-century Greek architecture, the Indiana War Memorial is a dedication to the Indy soldiers who served in armed conflicts. Admission is free, and the memorial is open Wednesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument pays tribute to soldiers of the Revolutionary and Spanish-American wars. It’s quite the site to behold (at only 15 feet shorter than the Statue of Liberty), and it’s free to visit. Finally, the Kennedy-King Memorial—also known as the Landmark for Peace—is another sobering piece of history that’s admission-free in Indianapolis.
