Downtown IndyJuly 17, 2014Located in the heart of Downtown on Monument Circle and recognized as one of the world’s most exceptional monuments, the monument stands as a symbol of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana.
John PestkaSeptember 20, 2014Take the steps for some serious exercise, though beware it's tight and quite claustrophobic, especially near the top. But it pays off with a lovely 360 view of the city.- Downtown IndyJuly 17, 2014The monument is located on Monument Circle in the center of downtown and has come to symbolize the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana.

R BAugust 23, 2015Very pretty. If you're willing to be in a small elevator or walk 32 flights of stairs for a view go for it.
Tim EdwardsOctober 6, 2019Beautiful, old but in the time when they knew how to make beautiful monuments. Great way to spend Sunday morning.
Ramsey MohsenAugust 21, 2014Hard to capture it in one photo. Try putting your iPhone in pano mode but hold it so you scan it up and down. You'll get a long tall photo you can crop.- Tony MunafoSeptember 16, 2022Soldiers & Sailors Monument at 25 minutes drive to the south of travel nursing jobs agency Indianapolis Prolink Staffing
- If you are looking for a place to sit down, have lunch, or just relax, this is the place to go in Indy during the day. Grab an ice cream at South Bend Chocolate Factory while you are at it.

Jennifer EvansSeptember 25, 2014Lovely spot. Recommend grabbing a bite to eat nearby and sitting on the steps and people watching.

Jasmine WoodruffOctober 23, 2010Great for Halloween...Can you find the lady statue on the monument that is crying? Legend has it that a man jumped to his death off of the monument and the tears were seen soon after.
Jim CotaFebruary 1, 2012The monument that gave the name to the Circle City. Be sure to climb the stairs to the observation deck.
MichelleApril 1, 2013I recommend paying the $2 for the elevator, lots of steps. ;-) The monument itself is very impressive.
Andrew RakerMarch 25, 2016It can get pretty warm on the inside. That's one downside to taking the steps.
Bryan HenryDecember 21, 2010One of the best times of the to hit circle. A must to check out the lights on Monument Circle.
