INDIANAPOLIS – School is out and spring break is still in full swing. The warmer temperatures are the perfect time to enjoy the little ones and even create a mini spring break of your own.

Here are your top six things to do this weekend in Indianapolis:

Spring Blooms Beer Garden

Indianapolis Museum of Art – 4000 N. Michigan Road

Every Thursday – Sunday (times vary)

If your perfect Saturday involves touring a blooming garden all while you have a beer in your hand, take a stroll down to the IMA’s Spring Blooms exhibit. The beer garden will feature an exclusive brew from Sun King Brewery as well as others from Triton Brewing Company.
