Indianapolis has all 4 seasons. If you come in November-early April you will need winter clothes and boots for rain and sometime snow. Summer is hot, fall and spring are the most pleasent times to be here.
No special needed. All available here.
Everything you need you can buy here.
No beaches here, so no beach ware. Leave a Comment

Well, winters are cold and windy... sometimes they get more snow here than a little north.. sometimes they get none! Basically, the advice in Indiana is this: 'If you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes.. it'll change!' I'm afraid there is some truth to that! Hehe, well, spring and fall are pleasant... summers are gonna be warm. Leave a Comment

by gkitzmil sitcase and duffelbag -- overpack but don't overdo
prepare for some walking - several museums and a new zoo are within 1/2 mile of the center of town; In Indianapolis the weather is NOT consistent. Winter may be well below zero or 50 degrees and sunny and it can change from day to day. So use layers in winter, spring, or fall. Summer is normally hot and humid but June may be great or rainy. The Month of May with the Indianapolis 500 activities can require snow gear or a bathing suit (I've literally seen both from May 1 to May 31)
Take pictures. that is always good advice but Indy is not about landscape it is about experience. Leave a Comment

Usual crap. Possibly mosquito repellent in the summer, especially if you're going camping or doing anything near water. Allergy medication in Spring and Summer. Leave a Comment

For all trips to Indianapolis remember that the weather is very dynamic, so be prepared for several eventualities. In the winter, a heavy coat is a necessity; in the summer, pack for hot, muggy weather that occasionally breeches the 100 degree Fahrenheit mark. Leave a Comment

 The state of farming in the Corn Belt... by Cabana_Boy Cold in the winter, hot in the summer...so dress accordingly
Growing up in the country around Indianapolis, we had cow pastures and corn fields all around us. So, when I go to the big city, I like to take my cow prod and an ear of corn with me... Leave a Comment

by gkitzmil Pack enough fo the season - temperatures can vary widely here
bring good shoes for walking. If you stay in the one-mile city area you don't need to use a car, bus, or taxi Leave a Comment
