The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park 100 Acres -Exploring the Indianapolis Art Trail

When I found out that there was a free park that combined nature and art, I knew that I had to add a visit to the The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park: 100 Acres to my list for my next visit.

The boys and I made it out last stop after a sightseeing trip to Indianapolis.

We pulled in the Indianapolis Museum of Art parking lot first but discovered that it was better to park a little closer to the trail. I still had to get a few pictures of the museum.

Our visit to the trail started with a sculpture that I’ve seen on Instagram and it was an instant hit with my boys.

Located on 100 acres adjacent to the Museum’s main campus, The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park: 100 Acres includes woodlands, wetlands, meadows, and a 35-acre lake. 100 Acres is one of the largest museum art parks in the country and one of only a few to feature ongoing commissions of temporary, site-responsive artworks.

We had a limited amount of time to visit the park and it had started to rain during our visit or we definitely would have stayed longer.
