What to do and see in Indianapolis, Indiana (IN): The Best Performances

October 7, 2021 Flossie Demartino

High-speed, history and good old Hoosier hospitality are a few reasons to put Indianapolis on your list of great getaways. Sports is another. From the legendary Indianapolis 500 to the Pacers and the Colts, the city offers ample opportunities to view professional and amateur sporting events, take part in athletic events and visit sports museums. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Hall Of Fame Museum you can tour the famous track (try to reserve tickets if there is a race in town) or visit the museum dedicated to automobiles and auto racing. Other sporty museums include the NCAA Hall of Champions. To get in on some of the action, head to SportZone which features six acres of indoor athletic facilities the whole family will enjoy. Those less interested in sports, or with kids in tow, can still find tons to do in and around the city. History, art and other cultural attractions abound. Visit the Children's Museum or checkout the zoo. Stroll along cobblestone streets past 19th-century buildings in the Lockerbie Square District or visit any number of historic landmarks. Known as the "Crossroads of America," more interstate highways bisect Indianapolis than any other city in the country, making it an exciting and easily accessible destination.

Mind Tripping Show

National Touring performers Christian & Katalina are at the Hilton with a funny, surprising, interactive, and intimate, interactive theatrical show called Mind Tripping: A Comedy with a Psychological Twist. Christian & Katalina, the #1 Husband & Wife Comedy Mind Reading Act, take audiences on a series of mind-bending adventures that is pure fun. The show is a psychological thriller that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. Think Candid Camera meets the Twilight Zone. Perfect for teenagers age 13 and older. It is a great show for date night, birthday and anniversary celebrations, and ladies night out. Shows are Friday and Saturday nights.

Christian and Katalina have great chemistry together. They're very funny, personable, and put on an amazing show with lots of audience participation. I actually saw an audience member do a literal "spit take" while laughing during the show!

I attended the Yuletide Celebration with a friend that has become an annual tradition for us. Frankie Moreno was a great host and gave a stellar performance. The one segment they could have done without was the 2 laser lighted trees set to music. It lowered the classic production and cheapened the entire show to rock star status. On the flip side, the blue gowns worn by the singers in the Polar Express portion were by far the most gorgeous design ever! Absolutely stunning!!!!! Nothing I've seen before comes close to the magnificant, sparkling, beauty of those gowns. A truly delightful Christmas show.

The Crane Bay Event Center

The Crane Bay is a truly unique event facility located steps away from the Lucas Oil Stadium in Downtown, Indianapolis. The Decor features an urban, edgy, and industrial atmosphere that can be transformed to meet the needs of any event! The walls of the facility are painted white; a blank canvas so to speak, that will allow you to adjust the LED lighted columns to any color to match your event. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of Crane Bay is the private outdoor patio that faces the downtown skyline. On a chilly evening, the fireplace and heating elements will keep you warm while you cozy up on the comfortable lounge furniture. Another aspect to note is the wide open indoor space that can be kept or divided using our draping system. This naturally progressive layout allows you to surprise your guests with a “room reveal” and move from cocktail reception, to dining or dancing with ease. The building itself has been in existence since the 1800’s, but was taken over and transformed for the Rolling Stones Magazine Super Bowl XLVI Party. With the investment of time, capital, and the partnership of Crystal Catering, The Crane Bay has become quite the event venue.

Reviewed By PatCincinnati

we drove from Cinti to see the Tap Pack. The show itself was funny, entertaining and a surprising array of tap technique. I would see them again. The venue is as nice as ever. Clean, good acoustics and views, helpful staff and easy ticketing. The traffic flow out of the garage is getting better. There is not much around as far as food venues. Restaurants seem to go out of business. There is a new pub but just wasnt in the mood for that atmosphere. Maybe next show.
