My husband and I did a date day here, there was so much to see with 4 floors of art exhibits, cafes spaced throughout and the amazing gardens all around the outside. We weren't able to see it all in one trip, and will go back soon. I'd love to visit the gardens in every season. There are lots of walking trails too that we will enjoy another time.

I went to the garden and felt i got transported to a totally different place, i arrived very late and should have planned it properly beforehand, there is lots to see in the garden, very well maintained and deserves full appreciation to the team who dedicated lots of their efforts. Serene and beautiful, every step feels lighter and you cant stop gazing every where trying to soak it all in. Perfect place for weddings or intimate events or photo shoots.

We were in Indy for a two day "mini-vacation" and my husband found this spot. It was perfect. I loved that it was a small-ish but big enough museum with beautiful gardens attached. I wasn't expecting to be impressed by the art, but I was pleasantly surprised at the variety and reputation of the artwork. They had it beautifully organized in a variety of galleries over three floors. We thoroughly enjoyed the art, then went outside to the gardens which were well-tended and beautiful. The only suggestions I would make would be: 1. Have a grounds map that people can take (they had a map but it was quite outdated and incomplete) 2. In the gardens, post more maps so that it's clear where you are on the grounds (and get your bearings). Bottom line: I highly recommend!

I had not been there for very long time. The building was completely refurbished from my last visit. A lot more exhibits because of all the additional floor space. They have really done a great job of making the galleries something to enjoy. My favorite area was the 3rd floor modern furniture section. The 1st floor had a wing with employees art work. Yes, it was quite interesting. I would recommend going with an open mind. Then just your thoughts take in everything you can see. The open hours are 10am till 5pm. Some days 10am to 8pm. Yes, there is a cost for tickets. Well worth the price and your time. The staff are very helpful and know their information. Check out this gem sometime soon.

Absolutely stunning flower collection and art inside. There are multiple floors of exhibits. Plenty of interactive exhibits for children and adults. We will be returning! The items in the gift shop were definitely a tad over priced along with the food in the little cafeteria, but it was all very cute. You have to go through a metal detector/purse and bag check when you enter, but it was super fast and easy.

My favorite go-to place in Indianapolis. I really like their gardens outside while I also love their museum. Try to go around with the guided tour in garden if it is your first time visiting. Definitely worth to hear the stories. Also, it has various different beauties around different seasons, so try to visit in different seasons of the year.

Beautiful museum to visit with an amazing garden. The collection is quite decent and work from all over the world includingnleseer know artists and that makes it special.. parking is easy. The cafeteria food is good but I do believe a service charge is added ( But I may be wrong). We enjoyed our visit.
