This is THE landmark for Indy. I understand that changes are coming to make it more pedestrian friendly. Not sure why it needs the change, but it's coming

Visit the day after Thanksgiving to see the lighting of the tallest christmas tree.The entire circle is lighted for the christmas season.

I have been going to the monument since a kid when I was able to run all the way to the top. To go to Indy & not go up into the monument is..well..un-American!

Our family loves history! We were thrilled to have a chance to visit this small museum while visiting Indy. Although small in size on the inside, the museum is very well done! We spent an hour in the museum brushing up on our Civil War knowledge and then headed up the 330 stairs to the top of the monument! The monument is very beautiful from the outside, and the view from the top is quite neat. We are all athletes in our family and the steep stairs were no joke; taking the elevator to the top might be a better option for some! We are glad we added this stop to our long weekend in Indy!

This monument was well lit for the holiday season. The entire monument was lit with Christmas lights. The horse drawn carriages were charming (except for the poopoo bags).This is a nice stop when touring city!

The museum (under the base of the monument) is great for families with kids and doesn't take too long. The monument on the Circle (inexpensive and free to veterans), while not the tallest point in the city anymore, still gives a really nice 360 view of Indy from the top.

Very old on The Circle and very tight space. Looks like no updates since the last time I was there 40 years ago.

Colonel Eli Lilly Civil War Museum - Soldiers & Sailors Monument is located in the heart of Indianapolis in Monument Circle (Downtown). First go visit the small but thoughtful Civil War exhibit in the base of the monument (more Hoosiers fought in the US Civil War than any Union State). The monument is made from limestone of Owen County, Indiana and rises feet to the top (just 12 feet shorter than the Statue of Liberty). Check out the fountains and the bronze works of art built into the magnificent facade. Some of the highlights include: "War", "Peace", "The Home-front" and "The Dying Soldier". The 4 statues signify Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery and Navy. The beautiful monument is open to the public and the view from the top is worth the 330 stair climb ($2 for the elevator) and a good workout for the foods of the heartland! The view (while cramped) is 360 and glassed in. You can spot the Monument and War Memorial Mall, The Chase Tower, Lucas Oil Stadium, Monument Circle (in 360), Christ Church Cathedral, The State Museum, Indianapolis Zoo, Eli Lilly, The State House and Federal Building. Check out the gift shop on the way out.

Awesome views of Indianapolis. Pay for the elevator. It's a lot of stairs to the top Be warned it is a bit cramped
